Pipes
Lay-Flat
PVC	Blue Lay Flat, Red Lay Flat, Contractor Hose, PVC Lay Flat, Vinyl Hose. Used for mines, construction, irrigation, agricultural, quarry, industrial and water. Red is flame resistant.
Nitrile (Buna-N)	Black Lay Flat, Yellow Lay Flat. Used for industrial washdowns, irrigation watering, bypass systems, some oil and chemical, dewatering. Nitrile has excellent resistance to petroleum-based liquids. Moderate resistance to aromatics.
Polyurethane	Tan Lay Flat or High Pressure Hose. Used for sewer discharge, dewatering, wastewater, reclaimed water, heavy duty industrial, hydrocarbons, some chemicals.
Firehose	Nitrile liner. Construction site firewater supply, industrial washdown, irrigation, watering, bypass systems, some oil and chemical, dewatering.
Rigid
Red Stripe	Dock Hose, Cargo Hose or Suction Hose. Suitable for pump suction and discharge lines.
Spiral	Imbedded wire helix. Suitable to pump suction and discharge.
Chemical	Various materials available. Can be used for pump suction as well as discharge.
Hoses
METALLIC
Quick Disconnect	Galvanized steel, Quick-Disconnect, Quick-Couple. Quickly and easily coupled and uncoupled. Articulation up to 30º. O-rings are required. OK for vacuum and pressure. Standard lengths of 10' and 20'. Much lighter than Thick-walled steel pipe.
Industrial Groove	Aluminum Victaulic, Vic, Industrial Groove Pipe, Cam and Groove, Irrigation. This type of pipe can also be provided in PVC.
Welded	Steel, Welded Pipe, Refinery Pipe, API Pipe, Fixed Pipe, Hard Pipe. Field welding is required.
NON-METALLIC
Glued	PVC, CPVC, PP, PVDF, Plastic Pipe, Thermoplastic Pipe, PVC Pipe. Readily available in numerous sizes and thicknesses. Easy to assemble. Temperature sensitive.
Bell and Spigot	PVC, Bell and Spigot PVC. Readily available in numerous sizes and thicknesses. Easy to assemble, no tools required. O-rings are required. Suitable for vacuum and pressure.
Restrained Joint	PVC. Unique joining system. O-rings are required. Ends do not have to be cut off to disassemble the pipe. Temperature sensitive.
HDPE	HDPE, Poly Pipe, Thermoplastic Pipe. Fusion machine and service is available to join pipe sections and fittings. Frequently required for sewer bypass projects.
Fittings
Quick Disconnect	Articulation up to 30º. Nitrile (red) and Buna-S (black) O-rings are available for a wide variety of applications. All standard type fittings available, including air vents.
Cam and Groove	Can be used on pipe and hose. Can be constructed out of many types of materials. Buna-N, Viton, EPDM, and Neoprene Elastomers are available.
Industrial Groove	Steel, Aluminum, PVC, and HDPE. Nitrile gasket available is good to 180º F, EPDM (not for petroleum) is good to 230º F. PVC version limited to 100º F. Flanged adapter is for HDPE pipe. Can be used for all joints or just at the ends of the line or at branch connections or fittings. Victaulic HDPE version eliminates the need for fusing joints together.
Flanges	Floating flanges available. Fixed flanges (welded to steel pipe) for high pressure ratings.
Restrained Joint	This is a piping system with a unique end fitting that comes only with this type of pipe. Uses a synthetic rubber O-ring for sealing and draw strings for clamping.
PVC	Bell and Spigot. This is a piping system and not a fitting that can be “added” to various types of hose or pipe. Uses an elastomeric O-ring for sealing. Some types are for gravity flow, others for pressure.
