McWane - Ductile Iron Pipe

Cast iron pipe has long been the standard material for conveying water and sewage in municipal, utility and industrial piping systems. The life expectancy of cast iron pipe is unknown but is estimated to be 100 years or more. The oldest operating cast iron main is in Versailles, France, which was installed in 1664. There are more than 500 members of the Cast Iron Pipe Century Club, a unique organization composed of cities or utilities in the United States and Canada that have cast iron pipe still in service after 100 years.
