♦Non-Combustible
Cast iron provides unsurpassed fire resistance.
Cast iron does not burn, does not give off gas when heated to temperatures normally encountered in structure fires.
The resistance to burning has the added benefit of requiring simple and low-cost fire stopping material for the annular space.
♦Low Acoustic Noise
Cast iron is often referred to as the quiet pipe because of its superior noise suppression.
The lamellar graphite structures in cast iron pipes are good at vibration absorption and noise suppression. The noise from rushing wastewater is 6-10 db lower than PVC pipe and 15 db lower than ABS pipe.
Cast iron is ideal for condominiums, hotels, healthcare facilities and educational institutions.
♦Durability
Cast iron is an alloy with a high carbon content, making it resistant to corrosion.
Cast iron pipes have been used since the early days with record going back to 1623 at the Fountains of Versailles in France which is still in function today.
♦Easy to Install & Service
Cast iron pipe and fittings are joined together with No-hub couplings consisting of neoprene gaskets and stainless steel shields and bands. These can be assembled or disassembled very easily.
Cast iron is time and money saving by taking advantage of the simplicity of the No-hub system.
Cast iron is resistant to quakes, temperature extremes, invasion of roots and rodents biting, making it low maintenance service.
♦Low Thermal Expansion Rate
Cast iron has low linear expansion coefficient, which ensures negligible effect of expansion or contraction on it under shifting ambient temperatures.
♦Environmentally Friendly
Cast iron does not contain toxic substance and is eco-friendly material.
Cast iron is 100% recyclable and can be recycled an infinite amount of times.
