The growing demand for an effective, all-out attack on water pollution highlights the need for improved sanitary sewage collection systems. As well, the additional cost of treating ground water infiltration underlines the requirement for watertight systems. IPEX is committed to developing better-designed piping systems with superior performance characteristics such as tight joints, which virtually eliminate infiltration and leakage.

APPLICATIONS

IPEX Ring-Tite PVC gravity sewer pipe is designed to meet the ever-increasing needs of the next century. Ring-Tite pipe is the perfect solution for safe and efficient conveyance of industrial, sanitary and stormwater sewage. Ring-Tite pipe is available in sizes 100mm – 1050mm (4" – 42").

ADVANTAGES

Tight Joints

IPEX Ring-Tite pipe is manufactured with a factory installed gasket. This factorymade joint eliminates the need to insert rings in the field, reducing the possibility of the rings dislodging during assembly. The Ring-Tite pipe joint, with its close manufacturing tolerances, easily passes a hydrostatic test of 345 kPa (50 psi).

Designed with the Environment in Mind

A properly installed IPEX pipe and fittings system restricts daily infiltration and leakage to a maximum of 4.6 litres for every millimetre in diameter per kilometre per day (50 U.S. gal./in.dia./mile/day). IPEX DR35 and DR28 pipe may be safely installed alongside potable water pipelines.

Lower Water Purification Costs

This type of low infiltration system reduces the costs involved in sewage treatment, providing substantial savings to the taxpayer. IPEX DR35 and DR28 gravity pipe joints do not leak, and are totally resistant to root intrusion.
