GF Piping Systems Releases New Pipe Support System
GF Piping Systems Releases New Pipe Support System
GF Piping Systems has added more sizes to its Stress Less Pipe Support System line of plastic pipe supports. Stress Less supports are specifically designed for the needs of plastic pipes. Plastic pipes are often subjected to thermal expansion and if their supports hold them too rigidly, they are prone to leaks and failure. Stress Less supports are specifically designed to eliminate stress transfer to plastic pipes. These uniquely designed supports protect pipes from damage from seismic activity, with the gap between the support and pipe being engineered to prevent severe impacts. GF Piping Systems is now offering Stress Less guides in 125mm, 140mm, 250mm, 280mm, and 315mm sizes. Stress Less systems are suitable for a wide variety of applications, including indoor and outdoor installation, and highly corrosive environments. Read more here.

Surge in Plastic Pipe Demand Caused by Farmers
Surge in Plastic Pipe Demand Caused by Farmers
Demand for high density plastic pipe drainage systems is at an all-time high in the Midwest. Several farmers in the area are looking to invest in their drainage systems and this has caused a surge in demand for plastic pipe manufacturers and drainage contractors. Thanks to a couple of profitable years and recent tax cuts many farmers believe the time to invest in their business is now. On top of that the farming industry is seeing shortages in alternative investments such as grain bins or new combines. Additionally, land has seen a surge in prices making drainage investments more attractive given that they can boost productivity of land that is already being farmed. Orders are piling up for pipe manufacturers and drainage contractors and this may continue into the next few years. Learn more here.
