TYTON JOINT® is U.S. Pipe’s trademark for pipe with a push-on type connection. Simplicity, sturdiness and watertightness are built into the system by design. Convincing proof of its worldwide acceptance is shown by the fact that more than 95% of the pipe now sold by U.S. Pipe is TYTON JOINT.

Gray iron pipe preceded Ductile Iron pipe by well over 100 years. Its intended use was to convey water as well as wastewater. Continuous tests and field experience have brought the production and use of Ductile Iron pipe to maturity. It has replaced gray iron pipe in practically all applications. Ductile Iron is a high-strength, tough material used in water and sewer systems in all states within the U.S. and in many other areas of the world.

Many owners and installers prefer the strength and simplicity of HDSS Pipe and Fittings. The joint is integrally restrained which gives it four advantages:

The patented U.S. Pipe TY-CON Conductive Gaskets are for use in Ductile-Iron pipe and fittings provided with the time proven TYTON JOINT®, and HDSS® restrained joint. TY-CON gaskets are intended to provide pipe joint conductivity for thawing service connections in cold climates.
