JM Eagle’s Blue Brute C900 PVC Pipe with IPS (Iron Pipe Size) Bell End offers seamless compatibility and robust performance for municipal and industrial infrastructure. Designed to meet standardized sizing for simplified integration, this pipe is ideal for potable water distribution, gravity sewers, force mains, and water reclamation. Available in blue, green, purple, or white, it combines AWWA-certified reliability with corrosion-free longevity.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ IPS Bell End Design
- Matches standardized iron pipe sizing for effortless compatibility with existing IPS fittings and valves.
- Leak-resistant joints ensure secure connections in high-pressure systems (up to 235 PSI DR18).
✅ Zero-Corrosion Infrastructure
- 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.
✅ FM-Certified Pressure Performance
- FM-approved for DR18 (185 PSI) and DR14 (250 PSI)* in sizes ≤12" for critical applications.
- Meets AWWA C900-16 standards with pressure ratings up to 305 PSI (DR14).
✅ Rapid Installation & Adaptability
- 20-foot laying lengths (+/-1") minimize joints and accelerate project timelines.
- Field-cut and bevel with basic tools—no specialized equipment required.
✅ Certified Safe for Potable Water
- ANSI/NSF 61-certified, compliant with UL 1285, CSA B137.3, and ASTM D1784 (Cell Class 12454).
