Features

Material: The pipes are made from grey cast iron, which is known for its strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. Grey cast iron is particularly suitable for sewage and wastewater applications due to its non-reactive nature.

Sizes: ASTM A888 pipes come in a range of sizes, typically from 1 ½ inches to 15 inches in diameter, to accommodate various plumbing needs.

Hub and Spigot Joints: The pipes are designed with hub and spigot joints, allowing them to be easily connected together during installation. These joints provide a secure and leak-resistant connection.

Wall Thickness: The standard specifies the minimum wall thicknesses for different pipe sizes to ensure structural integrity and longevity.

Coatings: ASTM A888 pipes may be coated with an external coating to provide additional protection against environmental factors and enhance their service life.

Fittings: ASTM A888 also covers the requirements for fittings used with these pipes, such as bends, tees, and reducers, to create a comprehensive drainage system.

It's important to follow the guidelines set forth in ASTM A888 when installing and using these pipes to ensure proper functionality and compliance with industry standards. Additionally, local building codes and regulations may also dictate specific requirements for plumbing systems.
