Today we're going to set the record straight on corrugated pipe. For years and years, I've been seeing this picture shared. Now I understand that the public and the average homeowner doesn't know the difference between the pipes. They hear a couple of things and then they start sharing it and I love getting on these multimedia sites and having a lot of fun seeing what you guys put together. It really entertaining at times, but uh, in truth you guys come up with some, some really, really cool stuff and somebody needs to address this here because nothing could be more misleading and nothing could be further from the truth. So let's go over corrugated pipe. The 101 of corrugated pipe. Let's go through it.
Oh, okay. So here is a skid of 20-foot lengths of corrugated pipe. Wait a minute, wait a minute. I mean, according to that picture and, and what I read, they're always criticizing the pipe because debris gets caught in the riffles, valleys, ridges that these pipes have. This is a dual wall and nobody is talking about it. Nobody. So I figured it's time that somebody sheds a little bit of light on it.
If it's smooth wall you want. And if you want the structural strength, you need the crush rating, you just go up to a dual wall. So this is in just about every size you can think of. We have it in four, four-inch, six-inch, eight-inch, 10-inch. It also comes in, perforated. This here is solid.
So, I know the next thing that you're going to wonder is, okay, so it's stronger, but is it a strongest PVC pipe?
I parked my one-ton truck up on this 20 footer and it's a section of dual wall and the wife called me and needed me up at the house and I got sidetracked a little bit long story. This truck spending up on top of this piece here for about three hours. When I get done with this video, I think I'm going to change my oil. You can see it's holding the truck up just fine. The front of the truck has the engine in it, so there is a lot of weight on that pipe. That pipe is holding its own, that's for sure. So you can see the tires buckled.
All right, so let's move on. So now we took care of that problem. You know if you want a pipe that's smooth wall. Corrugated pipe does come and smooth wall.
Now there's a lot of different pipes available and I think that's where we lose the average homeowner, the average consumer. So let's just go over it real quick.
The picture shows a green stripe on that pipe. Well, that's the trademark for ADS. Advanced Drainage Systems makes a fine product. There's nothing wrong with it. It's what is in all the big box stores. The Home Depot, that's what they carry right there. This is perforated. It's a three slot staggered and that's by ADS. [...]
