Summary
IPS PR 200 molecular oriented Ultra-Blue PVC pressure pipe was used to extend and upgrade a
water service in Pawnee, Texas. A highway marker was driven through the pipeline while it was
under full pressure, and Ultra-Blue did not split. The workers liked the light weight and the
toughness of the pipe. The client was very impressed and said that Ultra-Blue will solve a lot of
problems for them.
