CertainTeed Introduces CertaFlo GreenLinePVC Sewer Pipe for Trenchless Pipebursting Applications
July 11, 2007 - (Valley Forge, Pennsylvania) -CertainTeed Corporation expands its pipe selection with the introduction of CertaFlo™ GreenLine, a high-impact polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe that features the company's performance-proven Certa-Lok™ Integral Bell restrained joint system.
Sewer Pipe for Trenchless Pipebursting Applications
CertaFlo GreenLine comes in a new green color and shorter 10' and 13' lengths for ease of use in trenchless applications, such as directional drilling and pipebursting. The short lengths of the new pipe facilitate rapid assembly and allow the use of smaller and more economical construction pit sizes. The code-approved light-green pipe color makes camera inspection of sewers easier.
"CertaFlo is an excellent addition to our time-tested Certa-Lok pipe series, with special modifications made for today's trenchless applications," says Steve Gross, Director of Marketing & Product Development for CertainTeed's Pipe & Plastics Group. "Certa-Lok is known for its superior pressure ratings, flow performance and easy assembly. The light color and new shorter lengths of CertaFlo GreenLine make it an ideal product for pipebursting projects taking place in confined spaces where contractors don't have room for standard 20' pipe lengths or long strings of pre-fused pipe."
As with all CertainTeed PVC pipe, CertaFlo GreenLine is corrosion resistant, lightweight, and easy to handle and assemble. CertaFlo GreenLine holds its grade due to the superior stiffness of PVC, conforms to ASTM D2241, and requires no solvent cements or costly butt fusion equipment, so contractors can quickly connect one joint at a time.
