Yongtong will strive to high-premium friendly customers at home and abroad. As suppliers and manufacturers of Rubber rings, we want to share with the world some best practices for how to install & maintain these pipes to achieve peak performance, common issues encountered when using our product and recommended means of resolution, insight regarding which type of pipe is appropriate for your project’s needs, the newest advancements in tech within the industry today as well as some cost-saving ways you can keep money in your pocket, without risking quality.
The construction of restrained joint ductile iron pipe, especially for larger diameter and/or higher working pressure classes (greater than 16-inch C-150), needs to be carefully designed and constructed. First, you need to dig your trench according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. There should be a good level and fall on the pipes, to allow the water to run off. The pipes must be installed with the proper restraining joint restraint to avoid any movement and to stabilize the pipe. We don't install these; proper maintenance is required to maintain corrosion resistance and overall longevity. This entails a regular checking, cleaning and maintenance of all those damages or leaks. If you follow these rules, you can look forward to effective operation of your restrained joint ductile iron pipes for many years.
As strong and tough as they are, restrained joint ductile iron pipes are subject to the same problems as other common types of pipe used in practice. A common problem is leaks from corrosion or a damaged pipe coating. As a preventive measure then, it is advisable to monitor it (gauging) and ensure that there are no leaks. A further problem is that lack of eighty-weld restraint failure in combination with the under restraints section, where pipe will walk resulting in instability. The focus, however, should be on the proper installation and using good joint restraints. You can prevent expensive repairs and add years to your pipes using the five steps of proactive plumbing maintenance below.
There are several things to consider when you think about the kind of restrained joint ductile iron pipe that will fit your application best. You want to consider: What are the particular needs of your project, and how much water flow do I need?; What type of pressure ratings and soils conditions can you expect from these systems? The material compatibility of the pipes with other materials and components also must be considered in order to avoid troubles during installation. Selecting a reliable manufacturer such as Yongtong is another factor facilitating quality and trust in the tubes. Choosing the Right Restrained Joint Ductile Iron Pipe to Fit Your Project Applying these best practices will help you specify, choose and install the right restrained joint pipe for your next project.
The development of technologies for use in restrained joint ductile iron piping systems remains an evolving art, with new and innovative developments tending toward improved standards and longer life. Advancements, including improved coatings and linings that inhibit corrosion and wear, increase the life of piping systems. Additionally, new joint restraint systems are being developed to provide stability and prevent catastrophic failure. Tighter tolerances and improvements in manufacturing processes have increased the strength of the pipe, while reducing their flexibility characteristics under external loading. These trends in technology add value to restrained joint ductile iron pipe systems and provide better options for a wide range of applications.
