What makes a good sewer pipe?
When wondering what makes a good sewer pipe, the first question to ask is: why do I need to replace my sewer pipe? The answer usually comes down to three main causes:
-
The pipe fittings broke and were penetrated by roots, blocking the flow.
-
The connections have sagged, creating a buildup that, over time, forms dams and large blockages.
-
The pipe walls failed and the conduit collapsed, leading to complete failure.
The ideal sewer pipe must prevent each of these problems—and that's exactly what SDR28 and SDR35 pipes with Ring-Tite® fittings do. The term SDR28 refers to the ratio of wall thickness to pipe inner diameter, with SDR28 being the thickest. These pipes have exceptional compressive strength and strong, chemical-resistant inner walls. Combined with Ring-Tite® fittings, which overlap 6 inches, they ensure a blockage-free, leak-proof sewer system that prevents root intrusion.
By choosing SDR28 or SDR35 pipes for your sewer, you are investing in durability, reliability and peace of mind, with an installation that meets the highest excavation standards.
