People take turning on the tap for granted. But it’s critical we protect every drop. That means managing your water and wastewater systems is a huge responsibility. And improving them cost-effectively can feel like a daunting task.
Municipal potable water and wastewater
Our pipe is the simple solution that’s been proven across municipalities for years. It is leak-free from day-one of installation and remains leak-free for its entire 100-year design life, ensuring a lifetime of safe and clean water. It's the safest and environmentally responsible pipe system for drinking water available.
For potable water, raw water, and sewer applications, we provide for a reliable, low-maintenance, and safe pipe system designed to last for generations.
Water Pipe PE4710
Our PE4710 Water Pipe is a high-performance bimodal, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe designed for raw water transmission, potable and municipal water distribution systems, as well as gravity and force sewer mains. It is ideal for rigorous force main applications, thanks to its high fatigue resistance for tens of millions of cycles. Since it is joined using heat fusion, our pipe provides a leak-free, NSF-certified, quality water system. Not only is it cost- effective to install both in open cut and trenchless applications, it is extremely low maintenance and corrosion resistant.
Factory Mutual
Our Factory Mutual (FM Approved) Pipe meets the demanding requirements and rigors of fire water protection systems, as well as water and other process piping applications. It is manufactured to the requirements of FM 1613 and AWWA C906 using a high-performance PE4710 compound with NSF-14 certification. Our Factory Mutual Pipe is available with or without red stripes in sizes from 2'' up to 24'' in three pressure classes (PC 200, PC 250, and PC 335).
