All our spacers and end seals are manufactured in the U.S., and usually ship two to three business days after your order is placed.
Traditionally, end seals were made of brick. But as plastic and rubber technology has evolved, the preferred material for end seals has been EPDM rubber that expands and contracts to ambient temperatures and doesn’t crack and fail as brick and mortar is apt to do. Casings are used for underground placement of carrier pipe beneath highways and other roads, railroads, and through commercial and residential areas. End seals are a cost-effective solution to keep water and foreign material from getting between the casing and carrier pipes.
Casing spacers prevent corrosion by insulating the carrier pipe from the casing. They also eliminate the need to blow sand into the annulus between the pipes, and are easier to attach and slide into place than are wood skids. By eliminating the inner fill, the casing and carrier pipes can be repaired easily or removed later, lowering installation and maintenance costs. These spacers are corrosion resistant and require no special tools or grease for installation; they are simply bolted on and secured to the casing.
Each end of the casing pipe can be sealed off with our most popular wrap-around or pull-on end seals. Link seals are also available. End seals pull over the carrier pipe and the casing pipe. The end seal boot is then secured by steel straps for easy installation. End seals homogenize the system and prevent leaks and pipe failure. If the pipe has a bore grade change, the end seal is long enough to adjust to the pipe and conditions.
Our end seals can be customized to meet your unique needs. Whether it’s for an existing pipe system or you’re looking to install new casing or new construction, Pittsburgh Pipe has the correct materials to satisfy any requirement.
