New flexible polythene piping hailed for Canadian farms
A minor revolution in piping arrives as flexible polythene plastic pipes offer corrosion resistance and easy installation across long farm lines. Weighing far less than steel, the 1½ and 2 inch pipes can be laid in shallow trenches and joined with hose clamps, with 400 foot coils handled by a single worker. Municipal and mining uses are noted with success stories in Dunnville and Starbuck, and Canadian production ramps toward a planned Edmonton plant late this year.
