a polyethylene (PE) based structural tubing solution for the full replacement of water service lines using pulled-inplace pipe technology. A trenchless solution that is both time and cost efffcient, with no deconstruction of the property or the premises required. The tubing is tested and approved for use with potable water.

Primary Uses & Applications
• Structural replacement of potable water service lines using pulledin-place pipe technology for applications ranging from ¾” to 2 ½” diameter.
Features
• Approved for transfer of potable water.
• Lightweight and easy to install.
• Flexible polyethylene material suitable for bending.
• Leak-proof tested structural tubing solution, supplied in a tape wrapped “U”-shape.
Construction
• A high tensile polyester reinforcement jacket enveloped by a flexible polyethylene lining and cover material resistant to many chemicals, ozone, and abrasion.
• The polyethylene is extruded through a circular woven reinforcement made from filament polyester yarn.
• A strong bond between cover and lining prevents delamination, as well as firmly encapsulating the reinforcing polyester.
Properties
• Color options: Blue (standard).
• Maximum recommended operational temperature is +23° (+73°F) at a pH range 4-9.
• Expected minimum service lifetime is 50 years.
