ADS Drainage Pipe, Corrugated HDPE Single Wall Black 6" x 100' | DPE060S

The ADS Drainage Pipe, Corrugated HDPE Single Wall, Black 6″ × 100′, is ideal for managing water in residential, commercial, agricultural and civil applications. Manufactured by Advanced Drainage Systems (ADS), as one of the world leaders in drainage solutions, this pipe is designed to provide strength, flexibility, and durability to serve even the most adverse conditions.

Product Overview

This drainage pipe is known for its strength and durability and is constructed from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Having a 6-inch diameter and 100-foot continuous length increases the water flow and reduces the number of joints required. The black finish is resistant to ultraviolet light (UV) and so can be used both above and below ground.

Key Features

Built with advanced materials, the ADS pipe provides both structural strength and adaptability in the field.

• HDPE Composition: For excellent resistance to chemical corrosion, rust and abrasion.
• Corrugated Design: The single-wall corrugation provides added structural strength with more flexibility for easier installation.
• Black UV-Stabilized Finish: Contains carbon black to protect against degradation caused by ultraviolet light and is suitable for above ground or shallow burial applications.
• Lightweight Build: Compared with the concrete or steel pipe, the pipe is very light and so it is very easy to handle, transport and install.

Performance Benefits

This pipe provides lasting value by combining chemical resistance, high strength and flexibility.

Durability and Longevity

• Resistant to chemicals, salt and corrosive soils.

Pros and Cons

The ADS Drainage Pipe stands out with several advantages, but there are definitely a few other things users must be familiar with before buying.

Pros

• Long Continuous Coil: Minimizes the leak points and the flow of water becomes efficient.
• Cost Savings: Costs of materials and installation are reduced over those of steel or concrete.
• Flexible Performance: Navigates site-specific obstacles and rough terrain.
• Corrosion-Free: Unlike metallic pipes, it would not rust or deteriorate in the soil or in acidic or alkaline soil.
• Environmentally Friendly: HDPE pipes have the capacity to be recycled which promotes the aspect of sustainable construction.

Cons

• Not Designed for High-Pressure Applications: Being a single-walled corrugated pipe, it is designed to only work in the drainage system and is not advisable to be used in a pressurized water system.
• Soil-Tight Joints, Not Watertight: Standard couplers can seal off soils, but will not necessarily provide a watertight seal in all situations..
• UV Exposure Considerations: Though UV stabilized, extended exposure on the surface will lead to shortened system lifespan compared to buried installations.

Wrap Up

The ADS 6″ × 100′ Corrugated HDPE Single Wall Drainage Pipe is extremely versatile, durable, and cost-effective in its scope of drainage applications. Ideal for residential landscaping, commercial infrastructure, and agricultural applications, it offers efficiency, ease of installation and decades of proven performance.
