Again, the coupling or adaptor must be the correct size and range for DI pipe. These devices can come in restrained and non-restrained configurations.

Every manufacturer will have their own specific instructions on how to assemble and tighten the connection for their coupling on the type of pipe being used. Please be sure to follow the manufacturer&#;s recommendation for their product and the pipe being used.
Inserting DI pipe into a PVC pipe bell (DI Size PVC) or inserting DI OD PVC pipe into a DI pipe bell should technically work, when no other means are available.
Considerations for this application are, the depth markings on the pipe being inserted must be adjusted to accommodate the depth of the bell that the &#;other&#; pipe is being inserted into.
If there is an issue with the joint after installation, the manufacturers of the two pipes may not be able to provide help with their material connecting to the other material.
And last, when restraint is required, one manufacturer&#;s restraint method may not apply to the other manufacturer&#;s material. For example, a DI restraint gasket may not work on PVC pipe that is designed to work on DI pipe.
When connecting DI pipe to an existing steel pipe, concrete pressure pipe, AC, or other pipe, it may be necessary to expose the existing pipe to determine the type, size, OD, and if possible, manufacturer of the existing pipe. Many types of pipe will require custom-made couplings to make the connection to DI (or any other) pipe.
In some cases, the pipe manufacturer may need to make this adapter. There are many coupling manufacturers that can make couplings for the exact material you are connecting, once you have determined the type, size, and OD you are connecting.
I have listed several companies that manufacture standard, and special, custom-made couplings that should suit any application you have. Your local McWane sales representative or McWane distributor will be able to help you find the best option when connecting DI to other pipe materials. You should refer to the recommendation of the pipe manufacturer AND the coupling/fitting manufacturer when installing any pipe.
Ductile iron pipe
Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP) is a widely used piping material in hydraulic transmission, water supply, and drainage systems. So, how is Ductile Iron Pipe joined? Let's find out.
Plastic cast iron pipe is mainly connected in the following ways:
1. Flanged Connection:
If you are looking for more details, kindly visit MIDAS.
Flanged connection is one of the common connection methods for plasticized cast iron pipe. This type of connection uses flanges at both ends of the pipe and bolts the flanges together. Flanged connections are used in many situations, especially for systems that need to be disassembled and serviced frequently.
2. Mechanical Joint:
Mechanical Joint is a type of connection that fastens a sleeve to a pipe. The sleeve is placed at the end of the pipe and bolted together to form a tight joint. This type of connection is suitable for some occasions where high water tightness is required.
3. Push-on Joint:
Push-on joint is an easy and quick connection without the use of bolts. By setting a rubber seal at the end of the pipe, the socket of one pipe is inserted into the port of another pipe to form a tight seal. This type of connection is suitable for some occasions where the water tightness is not too strict.
4. Heat Fusion Joint:
The Heat Fusion Joint is a relatively new method of connecting plasticized cast iron pipe. This method uses heat fusion equipment to heat the ends of the pipe, fusing them to form a strong connection. This type of connection is suitable for applications where there are higher requirements for strength and sealing of the connection.
The choice of the above connection methods depends on the specific application requirements and piping system design. When using plasticized cast iron pipe connections, ensure that you choose the appropriate connection method to ensure the safe, stable, and efficient operation of your piping system.
