Summer may be coming to a close, but infrastructure projects are still heating up across the country. From sanitary sewer bypass pumping and repair projects to new civil and commercial construction contracts, there’s plenty of activity on the horizon.
When the time comes to choose piping for your third and fourth-quarter projects, it’s important to consider that not all materials and pipe fittings are created equal. With over 25 years of experience in temporary fluid transfer systems, Wolf Creek has identified and assembled the best quality products for all your portable piping needs, including our galvanized steel pipe with Genuine Bauer fittings.
Here are three reasons to choose Wolf Creek’s Genuine Bauer galvanized steel pipe for your next temporary piping project:
#1: Galvanized Steel Pipe with the Industry’s Best Pipe Fitting
Reliability matters when you’re connecting steel piping for suction or pressure applications. You can’t afford to risk leaks or losing connection with your heavy-duty pumps and hoses.
This is why Wolf Creek is proud to offer galvanized steel pipe paired with True Genuine Bauer quick-connect fittings, the industry’s best pipe fitting. Often imitated but never duplicated, Genuine Bauer couplings are the original “B-type” lever fittings designed for unmatched reliability and ease of use. Our galvanized steel pipe combined with Genuine Bauer couplings allow for quick and seamless assembly and disassembly, with the ability to articulate up to 30 degrees to handle the most uneven terrains.
Wolf Creek is your trusted supplier of steel pipe with true Genuine Bauer couplings. Remember, if the name “BAUER” isn’t on the handle, it’s not Genuine Bauer!
#2: Lightweight Steel Pipe Helps to Reduce Strain and Injuries
Unlike heavy ductile iron pipe, Wolf Creek’s galvanized steel pipe was designed to be lightweight and easy to transport. The weight difference is significant, especially for projects requiring a quick setup and teardown. For example, our 8-inch by 12-foot steel pipe only weighs 100 pounds, whereas a ductile iron version weighs about 500 pounds. Switching to lighter piping materials can make life easier for you and your workforce, reducing the chances of back strain, joint and muscle overuse pain, and other injuries in the field. Even our largest pieces of pipe can be moved by two people with ease!
But just because our galvanized steel pipe is so lightweight, that doesn’t mean it’s any less dependable. Wolf Creek’s steel pipe is hot-dipped galvanized for added durability, designed to endure any fluid substance with a heat resistance rating up to 230 degrees Fahrenheit.
Our steel pipe also meets ISO #9001 specifications, with a suction-tight seal and pressure rating up to 174 PSI on sizes ranging from 4-inch to 8-inch diameter. For jobs requiring a larger-diameter steel pipe, we also carry 12-inch by 10-foot steel pipe, which has a working PSI of 75 and A-type (Anfor) couplings.
#3: Steel Pipe Available in Bundles for Your Convenience
Wolf Creek is all about making our customers’ lives easier, which is why we offer our galvanized steel pipe in convenient bundles that fit perfectly in our durable pipe storage racks. We can stack bulk orders of steel pipe on these racks and ship directly to our customers’ warehouses or job sites, enabling them to unload the entire rack using a forklift and easily transport it around the site to keep their pipe inventory safe and organized.
Available in six-foot or 18-foot long options and constructed from high-strength tensile steel, our durable, stackable pipe racks can hold up to 40 pieces of our 4-inch by 20-foot steel pipe, 30 pieces of the 6-inch diameter versions, and 20 pieces of 8-inch steel pipe.
