Certification of National Sanitation Foundation(NSF)

• iPVC Pipe is NSF/ANSI 61 Certified. What does this certification mean?


• NSF/ANSI 61 is intended to cover specific materials or products that come into contact with drinking water, drinking water treatment chemicals or both. The standard is routinely monitored and updated by a joint committee comprised of equal parts public health experts, end users and industry members.

Compared with international standards

Partnership America's No.1 Water Utility Corporation

• 

  American Water, the largest water corporation that provides services to approximately 14 million people in 46 U.S. states partnered with PPI Pipe to install our revolutionary iPVC C900 pipe into their water systems.

• 

  With continued support, American Water has also agreed to Co-Research the iPVC Water Fitting to develop the ultimate non-corrosive water pipe system in the world.
  
  During AWWA ACE Annual Conferences from 2016-2019, David Hughes, American Water’s Senior Researcher announced the test results from the Water Research Foundation (WRF) that PPI Pipe’s iPVC was (SIGNIFCANTLY BETTER THAN CONVENTIONAL C900).

Cornell University 2018 Study on iPVC Pipe for Seismic Applications

• A 2 years of joint research with Cornell University, a leading authority on earthquake resistance performance evaluation.

• Successful testing resulting in the conclusion that the iPVC water pipe would have survived 95% of the World’s Historical Earthquakes.

Participants applauded the performance of iPVC Water Pipe
after completing the Full-Scale Fault Rupture test.

At the maximum bending angle of 52.5 degrees of deflection, the iPVC bell and spigot had zero leaks nor damage. This is the first and only pipe to have achieved maximum deflection in the history of Cornell University’s testing facility. (Please note there was an external restraint joint used)

Professor Thomas D. O’Rourke, Associate Director of the Cornell Program in Infrastructure Policy, congratulates PPI Pipe’s CEO and Vice-President on all the successful testing.

iPVC Seismic Water Pipe Installation in Oakland, CA

• East Bay Municipal Utility District, colloquially referred to as "East Bay Mud", is a public utility district which provides water and sewage treatment services for an area of approximately 331 square miles. EBMUD sits between two of the largest fault lines in the West Coast of the US, San Andreas and Hayward Fault Lines respectively. Due to this, they have seismic activity on a daily basis, which led to constant damage to their cast iron pipes.


• In 2018, EBMUD decided to replace all of their water lines with seismic resistant pipes in which the iPVC pipe was the only PVC pipe selected. To date, there has been over 40 miles of iPVC 6-12 inch pipe installed.

• There was frequent damage to cast iron pipelines from earthquakes as the city is located in the Pacific Seismic Zone.
• The iPVC Seismic Water Pipes were installed and will be used without replacement for the next 100 year.
• 65km of 6-12 inch (150~300mm) iPVC Water Pipes have been installed since 2018.
  (As of April 2021, total 65km installed)
