Ultra Blue PVCO CIOD Pipe offers best-in-class performance for potable water systems and pressure-rated sewer infrastructure. Rated for 305 PSI, this pipe features enhanced strength, durability, and flow efficiency—making it the smart choice for demanding municipal applications.
🔍 Why PVCO is Better Than PVC
PVCO (Oriented PVC) is a next-generation pipe material created by molecularly aligning standard PVC. The result: a pipe that’s up to 4x stronger, 30–40% lighter, and longer lasting—while offering a larger internal diameter at the same outer diameter. Ideal for higher pressure systems with easier handling and lower installation costs.
✅ Key Features & Benefits
- High-Pressure Capacity: Rated at 305 PSI, engineered for high-demand potable water and force main applications.
- Proven Strength: Molecular orientation provides 77% higher tensile strength and greater resistance to crushing, breaking, and notching than standard PVC.
- Corrosion-Free Operation: Resists tuberculation and galvanic soil corrosion—no need for liners, wraps, or cathodic protection.
- Hydraulic Performance: Maintains consistent flow with Hazen-Williams coefficient C=150—reducing energy and pumping costs.
- Installation Made Easy: Lightweight design enables manual handling and on-site cutting/beveling with basic tools.
- Seismic-Resilient: Flexibility and impact strength make it ideal for areas with ground movement or harsh environments.
