TYTON Gasket

U.S. Pipe’s TYTON^® Gasket is used in almost all of U.S. Pipe’s Ductile Iron Pipe & Fittings. It works with TYTON JOINT^®, HDSS^®, TR FLEX^®, HP LOK^®, TR-XTREME^®, and M-FLEX™. It is a circular rubber gasket which has a modified bulb shape in cross section. The TYTON Gasket conforms to ANSI/AWWA C111/A21.11. Composition and dimensions of the gasket have been carefully engineered to ensure a water-tight and lasting seal.

All TYTON Gaskets are made from vulcanized synthetic rubber with a soft rubber bulb and harder heel joined in a strong, vulcanized bond. No reclaimed rubber is used in the process. All gaskets meet the requirements of the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) Standard ANSI/NSF-61, Drinking Water System Components – Health Effects.

U.S. Pipe Fire Resistant Ductile Iron Pipe

On May 4th, fire study No. 3 was conducted at the U.S. Pipe Product Innovation test facility in Bessemer, Alabama. This study was conducted on two 6-ft long 8-inch HDSS® pipes assembled with the joint positioned in the center of the assembly. A standard SBR TYTON JOINT® gasket was used. The pipe ends were capped with MJ caps with MJ restraining glands. This study was conducted to determine the fire resistance and the survivability of a gasketed restrained joint using a modified version of the following ISO standards: ISO 19921- Ships and marine technology- Fire resistance of metallic pipe components with resilient and elastomeric seals- test methods and ISO 19922 – Ships and marine technology- Fire resistance of metallic pipe components with resilient and elastomeric seals- Requirements imposed on the test bench.

64″ Pipe With P401 In South Carolina To Replace Concrete

U.S. Pipe ductile iron was chosen to replace a problematic pipeline made up of an alternative material that was allowing sand intrusion. The 64" TYTON Joint pipeline with Protecto 401 will take care of the wastewater needs for the Columbia South Carolina area for decades to come.
