Our state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and technology produces a
ceramic product which has great strength, high density and water tight
jointing. Vitrified Clay Pipe is the most inert of all sanitary sewer pipe
materials. It does not have gradual reduction in strength over time as with
resin type products. Chemical resistance likewise does not deteriorate.
Vitrified Clay Pipe is the only pipe which offers both a design and service
life exceeding 100 years.
We have shown standard stock items herein. We typically manufacture
non-stock items and non-standard sizes by special order. Please contact our
staff for specific dimension information as all dimensions shown herein are
subject to change without notice.

When it is necessary to use curvilinear alignment due to terrain or to avoid existing
structures, the following design and installation criteria may be safely employed:
R =
360 degrees
Ø degrees
X
L
2 π
Ø = Allow deflection angle per joint
L = Length of pipe
R = Minimum Radius of curvature
The design and installation of curved sewer pipelines is common. Bends and curves to accommodate both grade
and alignment changes are commonly accomplished by the deflection of straight pipe or by the use of mitered
bends, beveling the joints or any combination thereof.
We manufacture mitered bends in sizes 4" to 42" to accommodate any change in angle designed by the engineer.
The deflection of standard straight pipe generally provides the required change in grade or alignment. Utilizing
shorter pipe lengths decreases the allowable radius. We are providing the following to assist you in such designs.

Our SPEED-SEAL joints are manufactured from a proprietary design and protected by a registered
trademark. SPEED-SEAL is composed of a two part polyurethane mixture, factory applied to the ends of
our pipe. The spigot part of the joint has a smooth surface, whereas the bell portion has a raised ridge.
Our joints are designed not to leak as required by ASTM C 425. We regularly check our joints by an
internal hydrostatic test of 10 psig.
We provide a vegetable lubricant to be used when inserting the spigot into the bell. When lubricated
and pushed together, the ridge portion of the bell and the spigot casting deform assuring you of a leakproof
design by giving a predicted, residual compression around the full circumference of the seal.
Our polyurethane formulation is impervious to detergents, acids, alkalis and gasses normally present in
sanitary sewer lines.
Pipe Joints
We provide a vegetable based soap lubricant for use during the assembly of our SPEED-SEAL joints. The
lubricant should be applied full strength to each joint surface immediately prior to assembly, following the
removal of all dirt and debris.
SPEED-SEAL Lubricant
Gladding McBean, in addition to being a
manufacturer of Vitrified Clay Pipe, provides
