BLUE BRUTE C900 PVC PIPE | DR18 | IPS | SPIGOT END
JM Eagle’s Blue Brute C900 PVC Pipe with IPS (Iron Pipe Size) Spigot End delivers standardized compatibility and rugged performance for modern water and sewer systems. Designed to seamlessly integrate with IPS fittings and valves, this pipe ensures leak-proof connections in potable water distribution, gravity sewers, force mains, and infrastructure upgrades. Available in blue, green, purple, or white, it combines industry-leading corrosion resistance with long-term cost efficiency.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ IPS Spigot End Compatibility
- Matches standardized iron pipe sizing for effortless integration with IPS fittings, valves, and existing infrastructure.
- Ideal for new installations or retrofitting projects requiring precise, leak-resistant joints.
✅ Zero-Corrosion Durability
- 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 High Pressure (≤12")
- FM-approved for DR18 (185 PSI) and DR14 (250 PSI)* in critical applications, ensuring reliability under extreme demand.
- Meets AWWA C900-16 standards with pressure ratings up to 305 PSI (DR14).
✅ Quick Installation & Flexibility
- 20-foot laying lengths (+/-1") minimize joints and labor costs.
- 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).
