Stray electrical currents can be present in water service lines and may cause issues in the metallic piping systems, including shock hazards for field personnel and accelerated corrosion of water distribution system components.

A.Y. McDonald’s newest innovation, called the TITAN™ Swing Connect Saddle, leaves conventional saddles in the dust. Unlike regular saddles with loose bolts that are easily lost or damaged, our TITAN™ Swing Connect Saddle is available with a TITAN™ bolt that comes pre-attached on a pivoting joint.

The corporation stop is the initial control valve of the service line as it is the first valve off of the main. The sole purpose is to allow for the installation of a new water service line without interrupting the water main pressure.

Standards provide people and organizations with a basis for mutual understanding and are used as tools to facilitate communication, measurement, commerce, and manufacturing.

Water works parts are responsible for providing a home/building access to the public water supply. The water service lateral itself includes any water service part, from the water main to the water meter. One of these solutions involves the service fitting.

North America’s water infrastructure consisted primarily of lead-based service lines just a century ago, which is exactly how old many of the country’s underground pipes are.

Measuring and recording water usage with a meter is essential to the function of a water service lateral. These devices sit between the main supply line and the structure, measuring usage accurately.

Stray electrical currents can be present in water service lines and may cause issues in the metallic piping systems, including shock hazards for field personnel and accelerated corrosion of water distribution system components. This can even occur on service lines located on the water service lateral.

Safety is paramount in the water works industry, where the need to deliver clean and reliable water to communities drives innovation and progress. One critical aspect of this safety concern lies in the protection of workers and equipment against electrical hazards. Di-electric bushings play a pivotal role. These insulating components serve as a barrier between electrical currents and the surrounding environment, safeguarding against shocks and preventing potential disasters.

The Cambridge Coupling is a unique fitting with a patented design that provides the installer with a 0.400” range to accommodate varying outside diameter (OD) sized pipes. Additionally, the part will accommodate pipes that are slightly oval or slightly deformed, saving time and materials in different sizing situations.
