Suitable alternative for polymeric pipes in drinking water distribution network
It is noteworthy that the amount of weight reduction in L. Pipes is 40 to 50 percent compared to normal ductile iron pipes.
L.Pipe assembly and disassembly
Assembling and disassembling of this product is similar to Tyton pipes, except that the assembly required force is less, which can often be carried out with a hand lever due to the lower weight of these pipes, especially in smaller sizes. Therefore, it is recommended to use the least amount of lubricant as possible during assembly and installation operations. In this case, it is better to primarily apply lubricant on the pipe's spigot and consequently perform assembly, after making sure of the cleanliness of the socket.
Other specifications and type of internal and external coatings of L.Pipes
:: Type of external coatings: External coating of metallic zinc (200 gr/m2) and finishing layer of green epoxy/polyurethane with the minimum thickness of 70 microns according to ISO 8179 Standard
:: Type of internal lining: Portland cement according to ISO 4179 and EN 598 standards
:: Sealing gasket type: Polyethylene fitting's gasket
How to order and store the product
Due to the less wall thickness of these pipes, it is recommended to order and convey this product in packing. Moreover, it is proper to use four-sided woods while unloading and storage.
Ductile iron pipes compatible with plastic (PVC or PE) piping systems
Higher reliability in urban and rural water distribution networks
Light Pipe is a new generation of ductile iron pipe with less wall thickness than conventional ductile iron pipes. Thus, due to the significant decrease in weight, using them in drinking water distribution networks is more engineering, cost-effective, and logical. Since ductile iron is a preferred option for drinking water lines, L. Pipes are an excellent alternative to polymeric pipes in drinking water distribution lines. It also eliminates several deficiencies and limitations existing in polymeric pipes, such as restrictions on outdoor maintenance and storage, environmental issues, high repair and maintenance costs due to fracture and leakage of polymeric pipes, and so on.
Standards:
:: L.Pipe is manufactured with a nominal wall thickness of 3 to 4 millimeters according to ISO 16631.
Applications:
:: In regions with limited access where it is rarely possible to carry pipes with usual weight
:: Proper alternative for polymeric pipes in drinking water distribution networks
:: The best choice in distribution lines with low working pressure
Advantages:
:: Prevention from transferring dangerous chemical compositions to drinking water
:: Elimination of limitations related to the maintenance and storage of polymeric pipes in open areas
:: Reduction of water leakage and waste in the network due to the use of polymeric pipes
:: Much easier storage and transportation compared to polymeric pipes
:: Compatibility with the environment and its relevant requirements
:: Easy leakage tracing due to the conductivity of the pipe body
:: Easy installation, usage, and cutting at the customer's site
:: Proper angular deflection up to 6 degrees
:: A green product with high scrap value
:: Less fracture in distribution networks
:: Impossibility of illegal branching
:: Less repair and maintenance
