As users have become more familiar with joint restraint and EBAA Iron's Series 1100 MEGALUG® restraint, we have sought ways to apply this technology to restraining existing grey iron pipelines. Because MEGALUG restraints were designed for use with ductile iron pipe, applications involving grey iron pipe have been limited. The Series 1100 can be a valuable restraint tool for many grey iron piping applications however. Use of the 1100 Series with grey iron requires recognition of the fundamental differences between ductile and grey iron piping systems and informed application of restraint principles.
Three factors limit the use of MEGALUG restraints on existing grey iron systems: 1) the strength limitations of grey iron, 2) the condition of the existing grey iron pipeline, and 3) dimensional differences between grey and ductile iron pipe standards.
