  • How Can I Connect Other Materials to Ductile Iron Pipe?

    How Can I Connect Other Materials to Ductile Iron Pipe?

    By Jeff Henderson   07/31/2019  In Installation Technical

    Ductile Iron (DI pipe) was first used in the United States as early as 1950's. Since iron pipe was one of the earliest pipe materials to be used in modern water works and wastewater systems, most early fittings and couplings were designed to be used on Grey Cast and then Ductile iron pipe.

    So, connecting “other” piping material to DI pipe is very straightforward on the Ductile pipe side of the fitting. The most important item to consider is on the other material side of the connection.
