Why Choose Ductile Iron Pipe?
Installation Ruggedness
Ductile iron pipe is more durable and rugged, which means it’s less prone to damage during installation. That strength translates to pipe that can take abuse in the field, and is not susceptible to over-belling.
Why Choose Ductile Iron Pipe?
Installation Contractor
Installation of ductile iron pipe does not require special fusing equipment or training. Improperly fused plastic pipe can and does fail when not done correctly.
Why Choose Ductile Iron Pipe?
Field Adaptability
With 13 times the impact strength of PVC, ductile iron pipe allows for easier and safer tapping compared to plastic pipe, which can explode when tapped. Ductile iron provides greater field adaptability over the life of the pipe.
