IPEX - Solvent Weld Sewer & Drain Piping Systems
IPEX offers an engineered integral PVC sewer and drainage system. PVC solid sewer pipe is used for the collection of domestic waste and storm water. PVC perforated sewer pipe is used for septic fields and foundation drainage. The solvent weld assembly method offers tight joints, eliminating infiltration, exfiltration and root infestation. A complete line of solvent weld sewer fittings is available for use with our pipe. IPEX PVC solvent weld pipe and fittings are available in nominal sizes from 3” to 6” (75mm to 150mm).
Costs Less to Operate
A plastic sewer system costs less to operate and maintain because it has greater flow capacity per given size and fewer joints. The pipe is flexible enough to conform to shifts and setting caused by unstable soil conditions or traffic without cracking, breaking or opening of the joints.
Greater Hydraulic Efficiency
PVC has the smoothest flow surface of any piping material today resulting in a Manning flow coefficient, N of .009. As a result, the pipe will not be susceptible to blockages and will maintain a high flow capacity over the life of the pipeline. The BDS piping will outperform corrugated interior tubing products in flow capacity and structural performance, especially in perimeter drain applications.
Life Cycle
The economic life cycle of a PVC sewer system is projected at more than 50 years.
- Building sanitary or storm drain lines
- Foundation perimeter drains
- Septic field distribution piping
