Blue Brute C900 PVC Pipe | DR32.5 | CIOD | Bell End
JM Eagle’s Blue Brute C900 PVC Pipe with CIOD (Cast Iron Outside Diameter) Bell End is engineered for seamless integration with legacy cast iron systems, offering a corrosion-resistant upgrade for municipal and industrial infrastructure. Designed for moderate-pressure applications, this pipe excels in potable water distribution, gravity sewers, force mains, and water reclamation projects. Available in blue, green, purple, or white, it combines the durability of PVC with the compatibility of cast iron systems, ensuring long-term performance without the maintenance costs of traditional materials.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ CIOD Bell End Compatibility
- Designed to connect effortlessly with existing cast iron pipelines, eliminating the need for adapters or retrofitting.
- Leak-resistant joints ensure secure, long-lasting connections in systems originally built for cast iron.
✅ Zero-Corrosion Performance
- Resists tuberculation, galvanic corrosion, and harsh soil conditions without linings, coatings, or cathodic protection.
- Smooth interior (C=150 flow coefficient) maintains hydraulic efficiency, reducing energy and pipe-sizing costs over decades.
✅ Cost-Effective for Moderate Pressure
- 125 PSI (DR32.5) pressure rating ideal for applications where extreme pressure is not required, balancing performance and affordability.
- Meets AWWA C900-16 standards for safety and reliability in municipal systems.
✅ Easy Installation & Adaptability
- 20-foot laying lengths (+/-1") minimize joints and accelerate installation timelines.
- Field-cut and bevel with basic tools—no specialized equipment needed.
✅ Certified Safe for Potable Water
- ANSI/NSF 61-certified, compliant with UL 1285, CSA B137.3, and ASTM D1784 (Cell Class 12454).
