We have just completed an installation of 2000 ft of 24" Mcwane Dutile Iron Pipe. We used a resrtained or loking gasket maunufactured by Gripper Gasket Co. WE have already removed 8 rolled/leaked joints. This is not by far our first installation of 24" DIP. We have quite a few miles under our belt with no rolled rubbers.
Has anyone used or heard of any problems with this manufacturer. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
