Contech Gravity Sewer Pipe with 200 psi Stiffness
GRAVITY SEWER PIPE WITH 200 PSI STIFFNESS
GRAVITY SEWER PIPE WITH 200 PSI STIFFNESS
Truss pipe® is a thermoplastic composite, double-wall pipe with concentric inner and outer walls braced by a truss-type structure. The truss voids are filled with lightweight mearlcrete for additional stiffness and compressive strength.

TRUSS PIPE APPLICATIONS
- Sanitary sewers
- Leachate collection systems
- Roadway/runway underdrains
- House service and lateral pipes
TRUSS PIPE JOINTS
- Gasketed joint
- Solvent-weld joints meet ASTM D3212 or ASTM 2680 performance requirements
DETAIL
Traditional rigid pipe materials can rupture when subjected to non-uniform loading, as they lack the ability to adjust to trench load variations. TRUSS PIPE combines high stiffness with flexibility; allowing it to resist variable loads while maintaining shape control. And with more than forty years of in-service use and hundreds of millions of feet installed, TRUSS PIPE is the unchallenged performer.

TRUSS PIPE PROPERTIES
- Standard length is 12.5’
- Available in 8”, 10”, 12”, and 15” diameters
FLOW RESISTANCE
TRUSS PIPE’s glossy smooth interior with a Manning’s “n” value of 0.009 reduces internal flow resistance.TRUSS PIPE can be installed in variable trench conditions to more than 40 feet and withstand H-20 live loading with less than one feet of cover.Its strength, stiffness, joint tightness, durability, and economy have made TRUSS PIPE the choice for engineers, specifiers, and contractors.

BENEFITS
-Excellent resistance to chemicals found in sanitary systems, including acids, alkalis, and salts -Unparalleled deflection control -Flexible; resists variable loads while maintaining shape control -Superior hydraulics; reduces internal flow resistance -Extremely low infiltration rates
FEATURES
-Made from thermoplastic PVC -200 psi minimum pipe stiffness -Unique double-wall pipe with concentric inner and outer walls braced by a truss-type structure -Manning’s “n” of .009 -Watertight joints
RESULT
The result is a semi-rigid pipe that provides 200 psi minimum pipe stiffness and unparalleled deflection – the ideal thermoplastic gravity sewer PVC pipe.
