JM Eagle’s Blue Brute C900 PVC Pipe with IPS (Iron Pipe Size) Bell End is engineered for low-pressure water and sewer systems requiring universal compatibility and corrosion-free performance. Rated for 100 PSI (DR41), this pipe is ideal for gravity-fed applications, municipal water distribution, and infrastructure projects where cost efficiency and standardized sizing matter. Available in blue, green, purple, or white, it combines AWWA-certified reliability with the ease of integrating into existing IPS-based systems.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ IPS Bell End Standardization
- Matches standard iron pipe sizing for seamless compatibility with IPS fittings, valves, and legacy infrastructure.
- Leak-resistant joints (ASTM D3139) ensure secure connections in low-pressure systems.
✅ Optimized for Low-Pressure Efficiency
- 100 PSI (DR41) rating perfect for gravity sewers, non-pressurized water networks, and cost-sensitive projects.
- Smooth interior (C=150 flow coefficient) maintains hydraulic efficiency, reducing pumping costs and pipe-sizing requirements.
✅ Zero-Corrosion Durability
- Resists tuberculation, galvanic corrosion, and harsh soils without linings, coatings, or cathodic protection.
- PVC construction eliminates rust, scaling, and maintenance associated with metal pipes.
✅ Quick Installation & Flexibility
- 20-foot laying lengths (+/-1") minimize joints and accelerate installation timelines.
- Field-cut and bevel with basic tools—no specialized machinery required.
✅ Certified Safe & Compliant
- ANSI/NSF 61-certified for potable water; compliant with UL 1285, CSA B137.3, and ASTM D1784 (Cell Class 12454).
