Model AZ Non-metalalic Casing Spacers

Description

AZ non-metallic casing spacers are designed for use with water and sewer pipes 3.85” to 13.75” in diameter. They are an economical alternative to banded woods skids and stainless steel bands for inserting pipes into casings. AZ spacers also eliminate the need for sand or grout filling of the annular space in the casing. All are adaptable to a wide variety of carrier pipe O.D.’s found on PVC Pressure/Sewer Pipe, DI-Ductile Iron, C-900, P.E., and IPS-Steel Pipes
