MATERIAL
SPECIFICATION
SHEET
BRUISER High Density Polyethylene Pipe
SCOPE:
This material specification designates the requirements for Vanguard BRUISER HDPE, PE4710 cold water
service tubing products. All BRUISER CTS dimension tubing and IPS-ID dimension piping products meet
the respective requirements of CSA B137.1, ASTM D 2737, ASTM D 2239 and AWWA C-901.
MATERIALS:
All BRUISER tubing products are manufactured from PE4710 high density polyethylene resin. The inner layer
contains a minimum of 2% carbon black ultraviolet light protection to meet the cell classification 445574C per
ASTM D 3350. The outer blue layer contains pigments and ultraviolet stabilizers to meet the cell classification
of 445574E per ASTM D 3350. Since both layers are UV protected, BRUISER can be stored outdoors in direct
sunlight for up to 5 years with no change to its pressure rating or expected in-service performance.
MARKING & CERTIFICATION:
All BRUISER piping products are marked with the name VPFL as the manufacturer, BRUISER trade
Tec h Data
name, nominal size, design pressure and temperature ratings, relevant CSA and ASTM standard
numbers, manufacturing date and production code, as well as the NSF-pw stamp indicating
third-party certification by NSF International. NSF conducts random on-site inspections of Vanguard
manufacturing facilities and independently tests BRUISER piping and tubing products for compliance
with physical and toxicological standards.
RECOMMENDED USES:
BRUISER pipe and tubing are intended and recommended for use in cold potable water service line
and water well applications. Design pressure / temperature rating @ 73.4°F are 200 psi for SDR-9
tubing and SIDR-7 pipe and 160 psi for SIDR-9 pipe. For uses not listed here, consult with your CB
Supplies representative.
HANDLING & INSTALLATION:
BRUISER high densit y polyethylene pipe and tubing products are tough yet flexible. However, they
are sof ter than metals and may be damaged by abrasion or by objects with a cutting edge. BRUISER
can be stored outdoors for up to 5 years before installation into a sunlight-shielded application with
no change to the expected in-service per formance. BRUISER may also be installed outdoors where it will
be exposed to direct sunlight for up to 5 years. For pipe that is installed or remains outdoors after that
limit, CB Supplies expresses no in-service performance expectations. Do not drag or roll BRUISER coils
across rocks or rough ground. Installation practices for BRUISER in trenched applications should comply
with guidelines prepared by the Plastics Pipe Institute, American Water Works Association, Plastic Pipe
and Fittings Association, and the manufacturer.

BRUISER
BRUISER water service tubing provides both simple identification of water lines with its blue skin
and long term UV resistance with its black inner core. BRUISER is listed with NSF International to meet the
strict purity and performance standards for potable water applications. BRUISER pipe is indent printed for
long-term identification requirements and incrementally marked for ease of installation.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
When the product is marked with the CSA B137.1 and ASTM D 2737 or D 2239 designation, it
affirms that the product was manufactured, inspected, sampled and tested in accordance with the
specification and has been found to meet the specified requirements. BRUISER blue water service
tubing is produced with state-of-the-art extrusion equipment to maintain consistency and accuracy.

40 ft. long, with a 8 gpm flow
rate, calculate .051 psi x 40 f t.
= 2.04 psi pressure drop.
