TAM Pipe

Strata-Tech supplies tubes in both meter and foot lengths, and also makes custom tubes, including schedule 80, schedule 120, and special rubber spacing. We offer both raised and recessed rubbers, pipes that attach using couplings, and pipes that couple with a glued slip joint for flush inside and outside assembly. All surface mounted rubbers are held in place with a light adhesive and are taped down at both ends with electrical tape.

Meter-length TAM pipe (one, two, three, and four meter lengths) has flush in/flush out glue joints with flush-to-surface rubbers on 33cm spacing. This pipe is non-stock special material. Please allow up to several weeks lead time.

For customers using TAM as an anchor re-grout strategy, Strata-Tech can also offer a coiling re-grout tube that has real benefits and significant cost savings. Call for details.

Strata Tech has several price options for TAM pipe. Normal prices apply to pipe and accessories bought off the shelf for shipment today. Special prices apply for big jobs where the customer gives us lead time, a large production quantity, a schedule, and the chance for other savings which accrue from planning. The customer may, for example, buy his own pipe because he feels he can get a better price, and we will convert it for him.

Couplings

Choices of couplings include center stop, smoothbore, extra-length, heavy duty, and steel. Coupling choice is affected by depth of hole and by choice of packer, since slide packers (o-ring, leather cup, and poly-cup) work less well with center stop coupled pipe due to the tendency of the seals to hang up or catch in the gap created by the stop.

Packer Rod

Packer rod is a flexible yet stiff polyethylene plastic hose used to connect the packer to the grout pump. The type of polyethylene used is resistant to attack by cement and all other grouts, solvents, and cleaning chemicals normally found in grouting work.

Packers can be attached to the packer rod in a number of ways, but two methods are favored: 1. Tapered NPT threads cut directly into the packer rod using our Rod Threading Tool or an appropriate pipe threading die or 2. The rod can be equiped with a swagged hydraulic coupling.
