BLUE BRUTE C900 PVC PIPE | DR14 | IPS | BELL END
Blue Brute C900 is a pressure-rated IPS (Iron Pipe Size) PVC pipe designed for reliable service in potable water distribution, reclaimed water, irrigation systems, and industrial piping applications. Manufactured for strength and corrosion resistance, it eliminates the need for linings, coatings, or cathodic protection—even in aggressive soil conditions.
This listing is for the Bell End configuration, which includes an integral bell designed to accept a spigot-end pipe for a leak-resistant seal. Bell-end joints conform to ASTM D3139 and are paired with ASTM F477 elastomeric gaskets for long-lasting performance.
This product follows the IPS (Iron Pipe Size) dimension standard, making it compatible with most irrigation, industrial, and private utility systems. If you're looking for the CIOD (Cast Iron Outside Diameter) version for municipal applications, click here.
Key Applications:
- Potable water distribution systems
- Industrial fluid handling and pump systems
- Golf course, turf, and agricultural irrigation
- Reclaimed water systems
Standard Pipe Lengths:
Supplied in 20-foot nominal laying lengths, with AWWA and CSA tolerances. These consistent lengths reduce joint installation time and cost.
Why Choose Blue Brute C900?
- Corrosion-Resistant: Requires no internal coating or external wrapping
