According to Centaur Manufacturing Inc. of Milpitas, Ca., their new, lightweight subsurface plastic pipe also completely eliminates the need for heavy hoisting and handling equipment. Comparable weights of concrete, clay and steel pipe are 588 pounds, 490 pounds and 400 pounds respectively. Because of an improved design combined with Cycolac grade JS ABS engineering thermoplastic supplied by Borg-Warner Chemicals, Plasticast offers *l9OO Plasticast Pipe Proves Rugged many other benefits to the contractor and property owner* The pipe is foam-cast permitting thin-wall design while retaining high structural strength. Con sequently, narrower tren ches and less gravel are needed for installation. Accurate centering and a controlled ft inch opening are provided by four shoulder lugs placed at 90 degree centers within the bell to facilitate water entry at the joint. The lugs provide a snap fit with a minimum of 60 pounds retention when the spigot is inserted into the bell. The spigot may be in serted into the bell nearly three inches, ac commodating a ten degree bend at the joint without separations. These features solve many of the problems which occur when heavyweight large diameter pipe is installed in sub surface drainlines. The Plasticast process also lends itself to the manufacturer of larger diameter pipe up to 72 indies. The first Plasticast agricultural drainage system was installed in severe soil conditions in California by McElvany Tile, Inc. m July, 1975. Contractor Ike McElvany said cave-ins pushed the shield 12 inches or more out of line at one joint. According to William R. Chew, president of Centaur, Plasticast is also manufactured as close joint drainage or low head Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Dec. 13,1975 irrigation systems. The primary material for manufacturing the closed joint pipe will be Cycolas ABS, supplied by Borg- Warncr, because ABS materials lend themselves to solvent welding. The closed joint pipe is a straight wall configuration with bell and spigot designed to meet standard R-4, Bureau of Reclamation “0” ring joint specification. An additional feature is a one-inch wide solvent welding ring situated on the spigot. Clearance between the bell and spigot at the welding ring is .005.” The solvent welded joint is watertight and as strong as the balance of the pipe. When the joint is solvent welded, the need for an “0” ring is eliminated. For more information on Plasticast, write to Centaur Manufacturing, Inc., 743 Landess Ave., Milpitas, Ca. 95035.
