HDPE Water & Sewer

Application: 

JM Eagle’s high-performance high-density polyethylene water pressure pipes are suitable for municipal and industrial transmission systems for potable water, sewer, drain, mining, irrigation, and reclaimed water.

Benefits: 

JM Eagle’s HDPE pipe for water and sewer is manufactured for excellent performance and a long life expectancy.

  • Its butt-fused joints eliminate potential leak points, common at 10 to 20 feet with ductile iron pipe, for a zero leak rate.
  • Highly resistant to corrosion and weather, recent studies conclude it will last at least 100 years.
  • Its light weight and flexibility make it easy to install, eliminate the need for fittings required with directional changes, and make it highly suitable for use in earthquake prone areas.
  • Its high-strength walls give it the highest PE pressure rating, outstanding resistance to SCG and increased resistance to rapid crack propagation.
  • The increased working stress rating of high-performance PE 4710 resin material makes it a superior choice over steel or ductile iron pipe, especially for the large diameter
    pipe sizes.
Descriptions: 

Meets AWWA C901/C906, ASTM D2239, ASTM D2737, ASTM D3035, ASTM F714, Cell Class Per ASTM D3350, PPI Listed Material (TR-4) PE 4710, and ANSI/NSF-14.

JM Eagle's high-density polyethylene water and sewer pipe is available in 3/4-inch to 63-inch diameters. The product’s physical properties make it applicable to open-trench, horizontal directional drilling, pipe-bursting and slip-lining installations. It can be manufactured with the color striping to identify application, such as a blue stripe for potable water, a green stripe for sewer applications and a purple stripe for reclaimed water. It is available in IPS (iron pipe size) and DIPS (ductile iron pipe size).

New Revisions for AWWA C901 are:

  • The 1/2" pipe and tubing is no longer produced.
  • The 3/4" to 3" IPS and CTS sizes (3/4" to 2") are only produced in DR9.
  • The 3/4" to 3" SIDR sizes are produced only in DR7.

Please note: This standard applies only to pressure pipe and tubing made from PE4710 and shall be classified as CC3 per ASTM D3350, for use in potable water service installations.
