JM Eagle’s Blue Brute C900 PVC Pipe with IPS (Iron Pipe Size) Bell End is engineered for medium-pressure water and sewer systems requiring standardized compatibility and long-term durability. Rated for 165 PSI (DR25), this pipe is ideal for potable water distribution, gravity sewers, force mains, and municipal upgrades. Featuring a leak-resistant IPS Bell End design, it ensures seamless integration with industry-standard fittings and valves, while its corrosion-resistant PVC construction eliminates maintenance costs associated with traditional materials. Available in blue, green, purple, or white.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ IPS Bell End Compatibility
- Matches standardized iron pipe sizing (IPS) for effortless integration with fittings, valves, and existing infrastructure.
- Leak-resistant joints (ASTM D3139) ensure secure connections in medium-pressure systems.
✅ Optimized for DR25 (165 PSI)
- Ideal for municipal water distribution, gravity sewers, and medium-pressure applications.
- Meets AWWA C900-16 standards for reliability and safety in demanding environments.
✅ Zero-Corrosion Performance
- Resists tuberculation, galvanic corrosion, and harsh soils without linings, coatings, or cathodic protection.
- Smooth interior (C=150 flow coefficient) maintains hydraulic efficiency, reducing pumping and pipe-sizing costs.
✅ 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).

Why Choose the IPS Bell End DR25?
- Universal Fit: IPS sizing ensures compatibility with standardized components, reducing retrofit complexity.
- Cost Efficiency: Lower pressure rating (vs. DR18/DR14) reduces material costs for non-critical applications.
- Maintenance-Free: PVC’s corrosion resistance eliminates rust, tuberculation, and costly upkeep.
