Specialty Products
IPEX offers a selection of innovative specialty products engineered to deliver superior performance, low-maintenance, safety and long service life throughout your municipal infrastructure.
IPEX PVC Manholes
IPEX PVC manholes are designed to replace traditional concrete manholes, a weak link in the majority of municipal sewer systems. Made of tough, non-corroding Big Brute™™ PVC pipe, they are immune to corrosion from H2S, chlorides and other chemicals commonly found in sanitary sewers.
Unlike concrete, IPEX manholes will not crack and deteriorate – eliminating exfiltration, groundwater infiltration and root intrusion into the sanitary sewer, overloaded treatment plants and corroded, broken manholes that compromise roads and public health.
IPEX PVC manholes incorporate an innovative top connection consisting of a floating frame seated on a recycled-rubber riser ring. This design creates a gasket-type seal while absorbing heavy impacts, transferring the load to the surrounding soil, not the manhole.
Available with precast, protective coated or lined concrete base adapters for connection to mainlines <24" (600 mm), or PVC tee risers for mainlines >24" (600 mm).
Inlet Control Devices
A cost-effective alternative to designing for “100-year” or even “25-year” storms, IPEX PVC inlet control devices (ICD’s) reduce the risk of flooded basements and surcharged sewers upstream of the catch basin during major storms, by diverting rainfall to temporary surface storage such as catch basins, parking lots and roadways – away from basements and foundations.
The IPEX ICD’s patented, low-maintenance sump-scouring design draws the water level below the main orifice keeping it free of floating debris during dry periods. What’s more, during heavy rainfall it generates a strong vortex action in the approach flow, vigorously scouring sediment from the sump of the catch basin.
Available in a tapered “plug” design to fit 8", 10" or 12" (200 mm, 250 mm and 300 mm) PVC, clay, concrete or other type of pipe; as well as a fabricated “frame” design to fit any size and type of pipe.
