With a 100+ year service life, A-2000™ withstands corrosive attack from both acidic and alkaline soils. It is unaffected by chemicals found in normal sewage and is a cost-effective alternative to other pipe products. With its origin beginning in 1984, A-2000 is a high-quality PVC with a proven track record for sanitary and storm sewer applications. Its profile wall pipe has a smooth interior and corrugated exterior. Engineered for gravity flow applications in depths exceeding 30 feet, A-2000 provides excellent hydraulic properties with a Manning’s “n” of 0.009.
This exceptional PVC product far exceeds the durability and service life of HDPE sanitary sewer pipe and drainage pipe and provides material stiffness up to six times greater than HDPE. And unlike HDPE plastic drainage pipe, A-2000 has a minimum of 46 pipe stiffness for all diameters.
