copper line.
3/4" copper service line. An alternative to this line stop is crimping. Some time after crimping the copper line it begins to leak at the crimped area. The process we use keeps the copper or other pipe round. This is available in 1/2 to 2" sizes for copper, pvc and iron.
10 " D.I.P. main for waste water
A 32 acre lagoon went septic. The forced sewage needed to go to the second cell but the valve to the 32 acre lagoon would not function. This valve was installed live in the ductile pipe under presure. 4" to 12" is currently available.
This valve insertion was installed in a 12" ductile iron pipe. It takes about 2 hours to install 10" and 12". 30 minutes to 60 minutes to install 4" to 8". The fastest our crew has performed a valve insertion is 19 minutes. We have installed 9 valves in one 8 hour day.
