  • How Do Spigot Stripes Assist in the Assembly of Ductile Iron Pipe?

    How Do Spigot Stripes Assist in the Assembly of Ductile Iron Pipe?

    By Carolyn Lopez   06/22/2018  In Installation

    Spigot stripes are used as a guide for assembly and a deflection check after assembly. Pipelines are not always designed in a straight line. It is often necessary to deflect pipe from a straight line to follow the curvature of streets and roads both vertically and horizontally. Ductile iron pipe is well suited for joint deflection.
