JM Eagle’s Eagle Loc 900 PVC Pipe revolutionizes underground infrastructure with its patented Bulldog Restraint System and CIOD (Cast Iron Outside Diameter) design. Engineered for demanding trenchless applications, this pipe combines effortless installation, corrosion resistance, and unmatched pullback strength for potable water, sewer force mains, and water reclamation projects. Rated for 235 PSI (DR18), it thrives in high-stress environments like acidic soils, tight utility corridors, and direct-bury installations.
Key Features & Benefits
🔧 Bulldog Restraint Technology
- Internal joint system locks with a single push, reducing labor costs by up to 30% vs. traditional restrained joints.
- Corrosion-proof design keeps components protected from soil and moisture, ensuring decades of leak-free performance.
🚜 Trenchless Application Mastery
- Withstands extreme pullback forces for directional drilling, road bores, and aerial crossings—even over long distances.
- Eliminates pre-fusing and minimizes excavation, ideal for crowded utility zones or environmentally sensitive areas.
🌊 CIOD + Superior Flow Efficiency
- Cast Iron Outside Diameter ensures compatibility with existing infrastructure and fittings.
- Smooth interior (C=150 Hazen-Williams coefficient) maximizes hydraulic capacity, reducing energy and pipe-sizing costs.
📜 Certified Reliability
- Compliant with AWWA C900-16, UL 1285, ANSI/NSF 61, and FM 1612 (DR18, 4"-12").
- ASTM D1784 Cell Class 12454 compound resists tuberculation and galvanic corrosion.
Technical Specifications
