Information for PVC Pipe Produced by
North American Pipe
To Whom It May Concern:
North American Pipe Corporation produces
pipe to a multitude of industry standards
for applications in raw and potable water
transmission and distribution, reclaim
water transmission and distribution,
sewage collection and transmission, irrigation,
and drain/waste/vent systems. Approximately
98% of the rework material generated
in the production of these products is
either recycled in our own process or
provided to third parties for incorporation
into other goods.
The standards to which we produce and the
listing bodies that monitor the production
of these products (NSF, Underwriters Laboratories,
Factory Mutual, and IAPMO) prohibit the
incorporation of post-industrial or post-consumer
recycled material into our products .
North American Pipe Corporation manufactures
PVC pipe in the following locations:
Booneville, Mississippi
Bristol, Indiana
Greensboro, Georgia
Leola, Pennsylvania
Litchfield, Illinois
Springfield, Kentucky
Van Buren, Arkansas
Wichita Falls, Texas
PVC pipe is designed and manufactured to
have a useful life that surpasses 100 years.
Because it will not corrode or wear out
it, replacement of the installed product
is generally only required when the needs
of the system exceed the designed capacity.
