HDPE Pipe Specifications
HDPE CORRUGATED PLASTIC PIPE
Pacific Corrugated Pipe Company’s HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) pipe is a heavy-duty pipe for storm sewers, culverts, storm water storage, and water quality applications. Pacific Corrugated Pipe manufactures our StormTite™ brand utilizing both recycled and virgin resins in both type C – single wall with a corrugated interior and exterior, and Type S – double wall with a corrugated exterior and a smooth interior wall. We supply sizes to the market ranging from 4” to 60” in diameter. Both solid and perforated pipe are available. Type-S pipe is available with a plain end or an integral bell and spigot system. All other product specifications are listed on the back of this sheet.
StormTite™ Bell and Spigot
StormTite™ 10.8 psi bell and spigot joint systems for Type S pipe has been certified by independent third party laboratories to meet the “watertight” requirements defined in ASTM D-3212. This system eliminates the need for separate couplers without giving up strength or superior hydraulic flow.

StormTite™, our 10.8 psi bell and spigot joint system has been certified by independent third party laboratories to meet “watertight” requirements defined in AASHTO M-294 and all applicable ASTM specifications including ASTM-3212. This system eliminates the need for separate couplers without giving up strength or superior hydraulic flow. This ease of installation of StormTite™, combined with its light weight and longer sections, ensures project savings over heavier materials such as reinforced concrete pipe (RCP). Using Pacific Corrugated HDPE pipe can lower your overall project construction costs as a result from the utilization of smaller crews, faster installation, easier handling of lightweight pipe and smaller equipment. Sizes in the following tables outline our entire product line of pipe that are available with a plain end or integral bell and spigot joint system for pressure applications:
