DESCRIPTION
GOLDFLO & GOLDFLO WT are engineering grade, high-density polyethylene plastic pipe manufactured under controlled conditions through an extruding and vacuum-forming process. GOLDFLO & GOLDFLO WT’s combination of a strong, durable, corrugated polyethylene exterior and smooth interior wall results in the superior flow rates that are demanded for high volume drainage needs. GOLDFLO & GOLDFLO WT are available in non-perforated (solid) for culvert and storm drain applications, and perforated for drainage. If required, polyester sock can also be pre-installed on the pipe.
USES
Gravity storm sewers, culverts, highway drains, ventilation, aeration, and other fluid transfer usages.
FITTINGS
Prinsco, Inc. stocks a complete line of standard GOLDFLO® fittings.
