KIMAX GLASS DRAINLINES FOR LONG-LASTING, DURABLE UNDERGROUND INSTALLATIONS The toughness and durability of Kimax Glass Drainline is demonstrated by their superior performance in thousands of underground installations. Underground drains have more exacting performance criteria than above-ground drains. Kimax glass pipe is corrosion resistant, it can handle future anticipated requirements. And glass pipe isn't affected by external corrosion either. Kimax Glass Drainlines are unaffected by lime, moisture, and other materials in the soil. The smooth, non-porous surface of a Kimax Glass Drainline minimizes plugging and scale build-up - an important feature for buried pipe.
Kimax Glass Drainlines are also tough enough to withstand the rigors of underground installation methods. EPS*-covered Kimax Glass Drainline meets or exceeds ASTM requirements for buried heavy schedule cast iron pipe. EPS-covered Kimax Glass Drainline passes the ASTM three-edge bearing test, the impact test, and the earth loading test. (Testing report from Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory available upon request.)Kimax couplings not only resist internal and external corrosion, but their ability to deflect up to 4 degree without leaking allows buried Kimax Glass Drainlines to flex with shifting ground conditions.
