What Is an ADS Dual Wall Corrugated Pipe?

Properties of Corrugated Pipes

• HDPE is corrosion- and chemical-resistant. The pipes are flexible and have less internal roughness, allowing the use of pipes with a smaller diameter. HDPE can be melted and solidified any number of times without losing its physical properties. It is also resistant to abrasion and piercing.

Uses of Corrugated Pipes

• Corrugated pipes are used for storm drainage, in sewer systems and for industrial water waste.

Advantages of Corrugated Pipes

• Because HDPE pipe is lightweight, no heavy-lifting construction equipment is required for pipe installation. With a high resistance to corrosion, the pipes have a minimum life expectancy of 50 years. Because of its flexibility, corrugated pipe does not break during an earthquake. Extremely difficult to puncture, they will not pollute the soil or ground water. With its ability to be melted and re-melted, HDPE corrugated pipe is easy to use with many different types of pipe fittings.

ADS Dual Wall Corrugated Pipe

• ADS's N-12 brand of corrugated pipe was introduced in 1987. This is a dual-wall pipe with a smooth interior and it is manufactured in diameters ranging from 4 inches to 60 inches. A green stripe on dual-wall corrugated pipe indicates it was manufactured by ADS and meets American Society for Testing and Materials and American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials standards.
