Primary Use
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) PE4710 pipe for sewer and wastewater applications. The light gray color of DriscoPlex® 4600 / 4700 series PE piping reduces glare and reflects sufficient light to help facilitate TV inspection of the pipe for sewer and wastewater applications.
Material
DriscoPlex® 4600 / 4700 series PE piping is manufactured from a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material with an ASTM D3350 Cell Classification of PE445574E and a PPI TR-4 listed material designation of PE4710. Additional material properties are detailed in the product’s Data Sheet.
Sizing
DriscoPlex® 4700 series PE piping is manufactured in Ductile Iron Pipe Sizes (DIPS), while DriscoPlex® 4600 series PE piping is manufactured in Iron Pipe Sizes (IPS). Standard sizes are shown in the products’ Size and Dimension Sheet.
Appearance
Solid gray pipe. Solid gray pipe with coextruded green stripes is also available. DriscoPlex® 4600 series PE piping’s striping pattern is four equally spaced single stripes to designate IPS sizing, while DriscoPlex® 4700 series PE piping’s striping pattern is three equally spaced sets of dual stripes to designate DIPS sizing.
Standards
DriscoPlex® 4600 / 4700 series PE piping is either manufactured to ASTM D3035 for sizes ≤ 3” or ASTM F714 for sizes ≥ 4”.
