EAGLE LOC 900 PVC PIPE | DR25 | BULLDOG RESTRAINT | CIOD
JM Eagle’s Eagle Loc 900 PVC Pipe combines groundbreaking Bulldog Restraint technology with CIOD (Cast Iron Outside Diameter) compatibility, delivering unmatched strength and efficiency for underground infrastructure. Designed for potable water, gravity sewers, and trenchless applications, this pipe simplifies installations while reducing labor costs by up to 30x. Rated for 165 PSI (DR25), it’s built to withstand harsh environments, acidic soils, and high water tables. Available in blue, green, purple, or white.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ Bulldog Restraint Joint System
- Internal restraint mechanism locks with a single push, eliminating external hardware and corrosion risks.
- Ideal for trenchless pullback, road bores, and direct-bury installations—no pre-fusing required.
✅ CIOD Compatibility
- Matches cast iron outside diameters for seamless integration with legacy systems.
- Perfect for retrofits or new installations in tight spaces with existing utilities.
✅ Trenchless Superiority
- Withstands long pull distances and challenging ground conditions without compromising integrity.
- Reduces excavation needs, saving time and minimizing environmental disruption.
✅ Corrosion & Stress Resistance
- Metallic restraint ring engages progressively under load, avoiding wall thickness reduction.
- Resilient in acidic soils and high water tables—zero linings or coatings needed.
✅ Certified Efficiency
- AWWA C900-16 compliant | ANSI/NSF 61-certified for potable water.
- Superior flow: Hazen-Williams C=150 | Manning’s n=0.009.
