Casting Pipe FAQ
Q: What is the lifespan of your casting pipes?
A: Our casting pipes typically last 50-100 years depending on application and environment. Regular inspections and proper maintenance can extend this lifespan significantly. Underground installations with proper bedding and backfill typically achieve the longest service life.
Q: Can casting pipes be used for potable water systems?
A: Yes, our casting pipes are approved for potable water applications when lined with NSF-certified cement mortar or other approved linings. We offer specially formulated internal coatings that meet all health and safety regulations for drinking water transmission.
Installation Guidelines
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance of casting pipes:
- Prepare trench with proper bedding materials
- Use appropriate joining methods (mechanical joints, push-on joints, or flanges)
- Ensure proper alignment before final connection
- Compact backfill in layers for proper support
- Conduct pressure testing before putting into service
