Ductile iron also has such a high strength that it can stand up against everything from heavy earth to high pressure, high traffic loads, unstable soil, and the most serious environmental conditions without rupturing or breaking. It’s highly resistant to corrosion and requires only a loose sheath of polyethylene in the most aggressive conditions. This makes it the best material to stand up against years of high-pressure loads and surges.
Easy, Safe, Maintenance-Free
Ductile iron pipe is exceptionally easy and safe to install by trained contractors. DIP requires no complicated laying schedules or complicated line-and-grade diagrams. It’s good for use in a wide range of conditions, and it maintains its structural integrity even when it’s subject to direct tapping in straight lines. DIP also resists damage during installation, transport and handling, and it’s virtually maintenance-free once installed.
Finally, since it is iron, that means it’s still easy to locate underground with existing pipe locator technology.
