Product Information
Description
Ductile cast iron pipe DN 600 of the VRS®-T system with Portland composite cement lining, zinc coating and PUR-Longlife coating. The VRS®-T system is a ductile centrifugal cast iron pipe with a socket and spigot connection with welding bead and locking elements, providing a highly loadable, flexible and tensile force-locking connection. Pipes are 5 m long with nominal diameters from DN 80 to DN 600.
Application
Mainly for drinking water supply, fire-fighting lines, snowmaking systems and turbine lines. Installation methods include conventional trench, trenchless, bridge pipelines, interim pipelines, and float-in installation.
