At Wolf Creek Portable Piping Products, we know temporary piping products and fittings inside and out. It’s why we decided to create our very own “association” to represent our dedication to our products and customers — the Temporary Piping and Fitting Manufacturing Association (TPFMA)!
Each November, we observe International Suction & Discharge Month, sponsored by the TPFMA. Sure, it’s a made-up holiday, but it’s also our way of raising awareness about the importance of temporary piping in our everyday lives. From construction to sanitary sewer upkeep, agriculture, mining, and more, temporary piping systems keep countless industries flowing smoothly.
We’re thankful for our customers who trust Wolf Creek for all their portable piping needs, and we invite you to recognize the 4th annual Suction & Discharge Month with us. Here’s how:
#1: Protect Your Pumps
Industrial pumps represent a significant investment in portable piping projects. It only makes sense to protect your valuable equipment from being clogged with harmful debris by using a quality pump strainer.
For suction and discharge applications, we highly recommend the Wolf Creek Hunnebucket inline strainer to protect both sides of your pump. With a large basket/screen, the Hunnebucket traps everything from rocks, bricks, and sticks to trash, paper products, wipes, and even animal bones. Keeping these items from entering your sensitive pump system will help prevent costly repairs and delays.
#2: Improve Safety on the Job Site
Safety is a top priority for any construction project manager or civil engineer, and one way to foster a culture of safety is to ensure your teams have the best possible tools for the job.
Wolf Creek recognizes that setting up and tearing down portable piping systems poses injury risks to workers’ fingers, hands, backs, and shoulders. To help enhance safety, we invented the Warhammer multi-closing tool. This innovative double-sided tool makes it fast and easy to open and close both Anfor and Bauer fittings. Your team will appreciate having a tool designed to make their lives easier when connecting and disconnecting pipe!
#3: Choose the Industry’s Best Fitting
When it comes to temporary piping products, there’s no substitute for the industry’s best fitting: Genuine Bauer. Imitation “B-type” fittings lack the quality, durability, and reliability of the original Genuine Bauer quick coupler. Remember, if it doesn’t have “Bauer” stamped on the lever, it’s not true Genuine Bauer!
Wolf Creek is proud to offer one of the largest inventories of Genuine Bauer fittings in North America. We fabricate custom pipe fittings and hose connector sets in-house using Bauer fittings, providing a reliable connection every time. Best of all, our long-time partnership with Genuine Bauer means you can order the highest-quality fittings quickly and easily, without a long delay for overseas shipping.
