Garry 

All right. Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to another great edition of ISCO insights. My name is Garry Bouvet. I’ll be your host today with this great topic that we have for us. And I’m going to take a little sidebar here. And this is like a Christmas Eve holiday. For me it’s sweet 16 in the NCAA basketball tournament, and my favorite team, the fighting alumni, my alma mater, has got a game tonight at 1010 Eastern time against Iowa State cyclones. And I’m so excited. I can’t wait till that moment gets here. But before we get there tonight, I’ve got two great guests with me joining me, we’re going to be talking all things some ISCO innovation, some product, new products that we’re bringing to the marketplace. And I got two fabulous guests with me today. regulars on ISCO insights, many of you may have seen them before. First one I got Timmy Tipton joining me here in studio, and I’ve got Andy Rogers. But before we get into them, I just want to talk a little bit about the webinar. For those who might be new to the show. We’ve got all of your video and audio turned off to enhance our video quality. If you’ve got feedback, yet troubleshooting issues, please drop some drop a message into the chat box, and one of our technicians will try to help get you on board and get you going with whatever your issue is. If you’ve got a question about a particular item or product that we’re showing today, please drop that in the q&a. We’re going to be looking at those. We’ll try to answer some of those live. But I’ve also got Brett sills and Jeremy Becker behind the scenes helping answer and field those questions. So please drop those in the q&a. We welcome those opportunities to give you answers to the questions that you have. With that said, let’s get right into my guests. First one Timmy Tipton. Welcome back to this guy eggs insights. I think it’s like your third or fourth time now a regular Gary. Yeah, you’re becoming one of me. Yeah, I mean, that’s, that’s pretty good. Yeah, pretty good company. So tell the audience for those who might be on here today. Give them a little bit about your background.

Timmy Tipton 

So I’ve been in polyethylene for 18 years, and mostly technical. But I am our technical director, which means I lead our team of engineers to help develop products such

Garry 

as what you’ll see the day. Fantastic. Well, I know you’ve been a huge help to me over all these years, and a great friend as well. So thanks for joining us. My next guest another regular hair on his go insights. A lot of you have seen him around. Andy Rogers. Andy, welcome back to the show. This is like your third or fourth time you you become an account of a regular as well.

Andy Rogers 

It is it is glad to be here. It’s also opening day of baseball season. Yes, it is. And Easter weekend. Good time. So I’ve been ISCO, almost 16 years now, about 20 years in the HDPE industry, I manage several groups here sales groups estimating got a really strong knowledge of fabrication, custom kind of innovation. And that’s that’s the topic today. So glad to be here. And thanks for having me. Fantastic.

Garry 

I know both of you guys have had a big involvement in some of these products that we’re going to be showing the audience today. So let’s No more delays on that. Let’s go ahead and dive right in. First of all, we want to talk about now AMD you and I talked about this product maybe two years ago, I think year and a half on a previous insight, but it’s kind of evolved since that since that time, and that’s the fast flange, tell us a little bit about the fast flange.

Andy Rogers 

So two years ago, I think we didn’t even have the name yet. We called it a quick access lid, I believe. So a couple things have changed. Since then we have a name, obviously, the fast flange, we actually have inventory of this product. And when we introduced that a couple of years ago, really the two sides of this, we offered 18 inch and 24 inch, but now we also offer six inch, eight inch and 12 inch and this and to those sizes at the at the request of our customers really.

Garry 

So what what’s unique about the fast flange, I mean, where would this be used what what applications do you see this as an advantage over the traditional methods. So

Andy Rogers 

to keep it simple, it’s a different way to terminate a piece of HDPE pipe. It’s a low pressure solution to that. So everybody that’s worked with HDPE has seen a traditional flange adapter with backing ring and fold fancy 150 pound bolt pattern in the blind flange. So what this allows is for the operator and only one person to easily open and close a lid at the end of a pipe for a variety of reasons.

Garry 

So you’re eliminating the blind flange and been out on many job sites and in my 30 years in this business, I’m looking at this and thinking about the blind flange and bolts and nuts and dropping holes into the muck that I’m that I’m working in, right? This has some neat things because everything’s intact. And as you said, as a one, one person job, it’s

Andy Rogers 

a one person job, all the components to it are captive, so nothing can drop, you can’t drop a boat in the water, it also can be applied to a new build more, you can retrofit an existing. So if you have a existing blind flange in place, you can remove the bolts, you can drop the backing ring off the flange adapter, and then you can install this piece or you can install it on a brand new piece of pipe. I see a question how does it attach the plane in the pipe? Well, it doesn’t it you actually have to fuse on a standard flange adapter. But that’s it. Yeah. So the flange, the flange adapter itself provides the meat if you will, for the back of the front of the past flange to clamp on to. And

Garry 

I think we’ve got a couple pictures here, Andy to kind of highlight some of the applications where this has already been installed.

Andy Rogers 

Yeah, so the most popular one so far is a side slope riser on a landfill. But when we introduce items, it’s inevitable that people start coming forward with other potential applications and sizes. So that’s a lot of what each of what you see here are side slope rises on landfills, if you look at the picture on the right, you can actually see a discharge line that’s going into that pipe, we even prefabricate that entire piece with the fast flange on it, and the pipe that can actually exit the sidewall. So there’s a lot of different applications. Like I said, it’s got to be low pressure. The Lord gravity if you if you’re talking about a pressurized HDPE pipe system, you still need to use a traditional bolted blind flange. And

Garry 

that is going to be my next question. I think we’ve actually got a couple of questions that popped in here. While we’re on this topic. Jeremy asked is the opening of the fast flange full port full diameter, such a cleanout pig could be passed through for clean out?

Andy Rogers 

Well, it doesn’t affect the inside diameter at all. I mean, the inside diameter is controlled by the pipe itself in the flange adapter. So yeah, it is it is full force actually. Yeah.

Garry 

And then Dan asked, Can the fast flange be used in a landfill gas application where vacuum is applied? Absolutely.

Andy Rogers 

Yeah. In fact that that helps it feel even better. Right? Now, when we tested these, we had to put them through positive pressure, because it’s just a more strict environment to test a product against. But it absolutely works in a vacuum application.

Garry 

Right. Fantastic. I think we even have a video Andy did you can kind of walk the audience through on on an installation. Yeah,

Andy Rogers 

this is good, because obviously, it’s in the field. But the point I made earlier about a retrofit, you can actually see the old ductile iron backup ring already there. So they unbolted it blind, they slid it back. But these, this is one of those things that we don’t always think of, like, in our mind, the end was always at the top. And when one of our customers installed this, they put it to the side and swung it open, like a like a microwave door, if you will. And so we love that we we like to come out with new and innovative things. But we don’t always foresee exactly how it’s going to be utilized in the field. So it was just a really good example to show how quick and easy and that was 18 inch. And you saw how fast that guy did that. So that was an 18 inch fast flange that he opened in, I don’t know, 15 seconds, maybe?

Garry 

Yeah, yep. And I just had an O ring sealed on that on it. It

Andy Rogers 

is and that’s how we’re able to withstand small positive pressure or in a vacuum application.

Garry 

Yeah. Good. See some more questions popping in on these? What is the max pressure you would recommend? As low pressure applications? Can you define that low pressure?

Andy Rogers 

I can we publish it at two. Okay, now we were able to reach some pressures higher than that. But when you get into larger sizes, like the 18 inch, and the 24 inch, we had to be a little conservative in terms of what we published. So when we say low for this product, we’re specifically talking about really low, really two psi. So

Garry 

essentially gravity or vacuum. Yes, yeah. Okay. Fantastic. Michael asked, How do you get a torque wrench on those wing nuts? And I mean, we really don’t need a torque wrench on those right. I mean, their hand, their hand by hand when we’re talking about low pressure gravity application.

Andy Rogers 

I understand the question, I could see the need for that if we were dealing with pressures that were significant, but for what they’re being put in, it’s really a hand tight. And if it’s applied to vacuum, I mean, you can tighten it as much as you need.

Garry 

Yep. Fantastic. All right, well, keep those questions coming. We really appreciate it, everybody. And hopefully we’re gonna answer all those. And if we don’t get to your question today, please, by all means, know that we will answer everybody offline. Later on. We have a whole team that will respond to any questions that are still open ended. So thank you again for those and keep them coming. Let’s talk about our next product here. And Andy and Timmy. This is Dual containment HDPE ball valve. Now, you know, we’re familiar with the process of putting valves in, you know, fused ball valves on polyethylene lines. You’re now needed in dual containment, you do a lot of dual containment, Andy in the landfill application. How did this come out of discount product come about and the needs for it?

Andy Rogers  

Well, the history of this product or something related to it is a little patchy there to two years ago, we did this, we had actually shown a dual containment butterfly valve that’s no longer manufactured. But for the applications that was being put in, it was really an on off application. So we needed to develop a dual containment ball valve. Now while we are actually working on some additional product development, this is what we came up with, as the interim. So what you see is a it’s pretty simple, essentially, it’s a it’s a fusible HDPE full port ball valve housed in a containment structure or containment piece, excuse me. And this has become more and more popular, because you can put it in a buried application, but what you’re doing is bypassing a potential structure. So to bury a line or to make a line dual containment in two inch or three inch or four inch ball valve, a lot of times you’d have to actually house it in something larger think 2436 M. So not only would you be saving money with this piece, but you’re also saving, installation costs your your footprint, you have to dig a big hole for a for a structure. And then you simply take a riser to the ground surface with a cap or a blind and you can operate the valve on and off in a varied application.

Garry 

Right. And I know a lot of talk, a lot of engineers over the years would love love to eliminate valve vaults. Because those are a big headache for them. And as you said, for construction and having the you know, not enough space for that in their system. So I think we’ve got a cutaway of the cross section kind of way that you can see the valve inside the actual structure. Yep.

Andy Rogers 

Yes, it’s it’s not too complicated. But it’s one of those things, again, that our customers are giving us feedback in the field and the patchy history of a product even being available in the first place is kind of what led us to help develop this and hopefully to develop it even further in the future and offer larger sizes, because right now we stop at four by eight, we do have plans to go larger than that, right? The dual containment market, like you said earlier on the fast one is it’s been landfill heavy for many decades. But we’re absolutely seeing dual containment more and more in other industries now,

Garry 

right, we see it in, you know, chemical plants and different things. If you’ve got a concern about you know, environmental concerns, which is on everybody’s forefront, you know, this could be an option for you to look at for sure. All right, then moving on to let’s see, do have any questions on that?

Andy Rogers 

We did get one from David. David. Yeah.

Garry 

If defective? Would you need to cut out and replace that section of pipe valve? Or can you just replace the valve?

Andy Rogers 

Yeah, that’s a question. We thought like, David, David’s got it figured out. That is the issue. Okay. And so there’s a little bit of a risk reward there. Where if something did happen with the valve, but I think the good news is, is that full port HDPE ball valves in an on off application are super reliable. So I’m not saying that once you bury them, you have nothing to worry about. But what I am saying is the the chance of something going wrong with that valve is very low. And in terms of value cost and the valve versus a large structure. You’re you’re still winning with with that product. But yes, if you had a actual issue underground, you would have to excavate and cut down.

Garry 

Yep, no good bread. Good question, David. Thank you very much. All right, let’s move on to our next topic. Our next product that we have, and that is the dual containment test pool. So again, we’re staying in that dual containment world that we were just talking about. And this is a test pool. What’s the origination what? What kind of brought this one to the, to the say, so

Andy Rogers 

this one wasn’t like an idea, you know, that ISCO had and like we need to build this. This is a perfect example of our customers giving us feedback in the field, when they have to actually test dual containment piping systems. We would historically supply all these components. And our customers would weld all these components together in the field, they would test the dual containment pilot, the carrier and the containment, and they would move on. So a couple years ago, one day a customer is like well, can you just pre assemble the whole thing for me? Sure. So we do it. It’s successful. We get the request again, we get the request again. And now Now we’re making these pieces as a fully assembled piece in the factory from two To buy four all the way up to eight by 12. And one of the best parts about this product is you can reuse it. So if you were to look at the drawing, and there’s a note there that you can’t actually see, but this centralizer here is not fixated to the pipe itself. So this is a piece, you can do a simultaneous spot fusion welding the field, you can test the carrier, you can test the containment, you can test both the same time, and then you can cut the piece off and use it on a future project. Right.

Garry 

So multiple reuse with this with this product. And do you foresee additional sizes coming? Or is that kind of the the sweet spot window?

Andy Rogers 

I mean, I think we could. But once you go beyond eight by 12, not that we don’t make plenty of larger diameter. Yeah, I just don’t think it comes up enough to warrant the production yet. But like I said, we’re constantly that’s what this is about, we listen to our customers. If the need is there, we will, we will proceed with the r&d requirements, develop larger pieces, exactly. It’s kind

Garry 

of been our moniker all throughout the history of ISCO. If you can draw it, we can build it. And that’s kind of what what we’ve done here.

Timmy Tipton 

So I mean, so far, we’re three for three on listening to the customers here. That’s

Garry 

good. That’s really good.

Andy Rogers 

And we haven’t dropped anything. But things on the table. So

Garry 

then the next one is the HDPE 360 ball valve. So just a standalone ball valve. And this one’s kind of new from what is traditional ball valves and polyethylene, Timmy think this, you’ve had a lot of involvement with this one. So

Timmy Tipton 

traditional ball Valve, quarter turn and ball valves. And in that your your gearing has it where you open your valve so fast, you can get a water hammer, you can break off, you can over torque, you can break the nut, you can do many things that are that are damaging to the ball valves. With the 360 ball valve, you make a complete 360 degree rotation to open and close right? It reduces your amount of water hammer, it reduces the ability to over torque, essentially what we believe is it gives it a long life, or a longer life than a quarter turn ball valve. The other cool thing is on the top, you can actually see there’s a indicator or a gauge, which shows the ability to have it open and close. So you know where you are, as you’re standing on top. Turning it you go

Garry 

open green, and then it’s red, right? Yep.

Timmy Tipton 

Well, you turn that pretty easy to him, it is a completely low torque. Now if I got water pushing against that, you’re gonna be able to turn it that so it is a low torque ball valve. So it’s actually a lot lower torque than even the quarter fairing. So, yes, the answer is yes.

Garry 

We see we’re seeing a lot of this in our irrigation side or golf irrigation in particular, where it’s being utilized. You know, those two things, valves aren’t buried super deep. So that being able that visual identification when they open up the valve box, that’s usually maybe a foot or a foot and a half buried tip. Works very works very well. Absolutely. Yeah. So currently in two and three and 4233 edge. Is there, we’ll think it’ll go bigger. Are we gonna let the market

Timmy Tipton 

we’re gonna let the market decide, you know, the customers requested it. We we have it now. Now we just need to see what the market indicates where we need to go.

Garry 

John asked question, do you make the valves in hurt? Not currently. Currently, that valve is not available. John in the for the product line, which for those who don’t know, we’ll talk about hurt here. What a segue in watching our presentation, but heard is a polyethylene raise temperature. So for maybe hot water applications, higher temperatures than what traditional standard HDPE pipe can handle. But currently, the blouse would not be if we need a valve in the PERT we’re usually looking at either a gate valve of some type or more commonly we see like stainless steel ball valves in that market. So but thanks for that question. So again, John leading us right in. Let’s talk a little bit about Kurt. Now, this may not necessarily be a new product, it isn’t for me, I’ve been involved in this product for almost eight years now. But it’s a polyethylene raise temperature. And again, designed for hot water hot higher temperature liquid applications than what traditional HDPE can handle which is limited to 140 degrees. So this product is per pipe can go up over 280 degrees and it’s identifiable to distinguish it from traditional HDPE with the for what they call platinum striper gray stripes that are on the pipe that distinguishes it from traditional HDPE pipe? nd I know you’ve guys in the landfill side have had some usages with the with the per pipe? Yeah,

Andy Rogers 

like you said, it’s not new, it’s not a new material. But when we started introducing it, what 789 years ago, you know, we were, we were telling people that wood could be used in hot landfill gas applications. Well, now we can prove it. It’s it’s been successfully installed in over 20 landfills, hot landfills, with no reported failure. So of course, when that happens, and we have success with it, we will start to stock in certain sizes and perf patterns, but it is absolutely become a viable alternative to CPVC or hot landfill gas wells in addition, all the other markets that you deal with, on a constant basis. So it’s just a not only as a great product when it came out. Now it’s a proven product. And I think that was part of the point of kind of keeping it in this in the with one of the products we’re showcasing exactly

Garry 

and Timmy you and your team, your group work, do a lot with the PERT fittings, right. So I have full range of fittings and connections to other pipes. If

Timmy Tipton 

pipe can be made, we have a fitting for it.

Andy Rogers 

So and we’ve actually even made several structures now out of pipe, which we couldn’t talk about that six, eight years ago. So

Timmy Tipton 

on and it’s pretty consistent now. Yeah,

Andy Rogers 

we’ve actually made quite a few now. And on landfill. Yes. Applications completely own or even dual containment structures. Yeah,

Garry 

that’s totally cool. So yeah, so if you’ve got some high temperature applications, and you know, love the value and benefits of HDPE pipe, give us a call, or reach out to us, this is a great product for those applications. And here, I think we’ve got even a few pictures from some of your some of the different job sites where the pipe has been going in some wells that you were talking about, and

Andy Rogers 

always good to show it actually being installed instead of just putting it up on a table. Right?

Garry 

Absolutely. Fusion procedure is exactly the same joining it. So the same fusion equipment and process for doing for standard HDPE. And this is just the kind of operating temperature table that’s available for the end the pressures based on the Dr of the pipe. So again, reach out to us if you’ve got think you may have an application or a need for it. Now the the the fun one, right, this is the this is the big one to start the show big reveal. We are introducing the molded outlet reducing T please tell us we’re not going to make that the more acronym It’s

Andy Rogers 

already been a couple times. I don’t know Yeah. For now we’re we’re still saying the complete for saying

Garry 

that complete pray. So branch saddle reducing teeth, right. We’re used to that method. That’s what I’ve been. They’ve been in this business over 30 years. That’s how we do reducing tees, we fuse a sidewall fuse a branch saddle on, tap it out, and then extend our lateral coming out. We’re now introducing what we call a molded outlet reducing tee, right? For multiple main sizes, and for various outlet sizes as well. Want to tell us a little bit about the origination Timmy of of how this came about. And

Timmy Tipton 

absolutely. So as you said, traditional means is using a 412 by six reducing T’s gonna be using a 12 by six or using a six inch branch saddle. The six inch branch saddle is something that you know, sometimes it’s more difficult to procure than others, right? You’re using a sidewall fusion, and then you’re fusing it to another pipe right. Ultimately, what we’re doing here is we are using a molding process to then make a straight fusion. Anytime you can make a straight fusion we as a company believe that a straight fusion is always in the best interest of our customer and for quality reasons. Secondly, as we began to mold these outlets, we found that the interior of this is a significant positive step towards making a smoother transition from the branch or the outlet or the outlet to the branch so the flows are essentially better. Yes. Okay. And then finally, you know, we don’t need to track all the heater adapters every size has a heater adapter we now we now have we now no longer have to track them quite as quite as much. Yes.

Garry 

So this what standards is this applied to right because reducing T These were under ACF. 2206. Right now we’re

Timmy Tipton  

in the molded right, yeah, this is this is what we call a molded size. It’s a molded outlet because we’re using a molding process to get where we need to be meets ASTM D 3261. You know, we did extensive short term pressurization and long term elevated temperature steam pressure tests. And then in this market, the thing that we the thing that we’re really trying to move forward with is understanding the shear resistance of the stub outs in landfill type applications. Generally, we’re going to be in a landfill application and be doing a gusseted burning shuttle reducing T. We wanted to get somewhere that we where we could remove the gussets to help. You know, honestly, it’s a it ends up being a velocity manufacturing velocity equation at that point. But if we could get to something that that can have the shear resistance equal to or greater than the gusseted branch out on reducing t, we thought we had a win, okay. In this particular case, we have a win.

Garry 

Big win. Right? Absolutely. And Andy, he mentioned the landfills how, tell us how this, how this really affects your market that you’re that you’re in and the customers that you deal with.

Andy Rogers 

In the last I’d say 10 to 12 years gusseted reducing teas have really been used almost exclusively, compared to a traditional branch that already some tea because the burial environment on a landfill is super dynamic, it changes a lot, it puts a lot of external stress. So designing and building this with the same internal pressure rating as a brand subtle reducing, he was great. But there was another challenge to meet. And that challenge was to meet or exceed the strength of the gusset and t in that in that dynamic environment. And it’s probably the the most harsh that you can actually put an HD maps in because

Garry 

those soil it’s moving all the time, right? Yeah, compacted very well. Your Ground is constantly shifting right.

Andy Rogers 

So I think we have a photo maybe of some of that testing that we did. And I’ll let me describe the photo. So what

Timmy Tipton 

we decided to do is we want to lateral shear, and that’s what we’re checking on. And so we in one of our shops, we decided to rig up a an apparatus to understand what what the comparative analysis was to differing options. In this case, we’re applying a load on the outlet. We’re measuring the load in psi or in hydraulic force, just to kind of see what’s going on. It’s really about a chain like what is the change? What does it look like? How do you compare from one to the next actual value is insignificant at this point. But what we did was we ended up getting into results where our molded outlet tees or molded outlet reducing tees surpassed in every instance a gusset to branch out or reducing T from the shear side from pressure side as well. It became we brought each one to failure. And the failures were what we wanted to see which were nice and ductile failure as well.

Garry 

Fantastic. So they they are proven to be as good or better than the gusset at outlet tees. And absolutely that’s that’s a big advantage for the customers. And I think Oops, there’s a table with different size ranges that are available. And you can see there at this Timmy mentioned earlier. So we got anything from you know, eight eight inch outlet six inch outlets even up to 12 inch on 24 inch and 18 inch pipe bear let us zoom in on

Timmy Tipton 

that you can zoom in to look at some of the what the ID looks like and see the

Garry 

the overall internal aspects of the this moulded reducing T we’re gonna get bear to third hand and here in a second. He’s

Andy Rogers 

always looking at Focus might be a tough shot to see. But

Garry 

let’s say either there. Oh, there we go to keep that light. You can see. Go ahead and he talked or Timmy Yeah, so it’s about that

Timmy Tipton 

generally when you’re when you have a price, I’ll tell you what you end up with is a very sharp edge on the ID of whatever size the the outlet is, in this particular case how the geometry forms, you end up with a larger bore at the very base, and then you do the pie. And so every time it’s going to increase your flow or it’s going to have your pumping costs be less.

Garry 

You know, one of the other things I liked about this, we don’t have the risk of any you know, shavings or anything being being in there now that it’s a molded, molded Trading App. So

Andy Rogers 

yeah, so if you go back to the charts, if so the big wing here is the size combo was the main and the branch there’s some overlap there at the top that would fall by six and toll by a there there are commercially available injection molded reducing seas, which we supply and all the time. The challenge was above that. So while you get to 16 and 18, and 24 inch all the way on a 24 inch main and as large as a 12 inch outlet right now we’re entering a brown that we’ve just had not been in before. So it’s an exciting size range, exciting product, exciting strength. So we were to we’re proud to show the world today.

Garry 

And I don’t think we’re stopping. We’re stopping here on these I mean size combos again, it’s probably kind of what the market dictates rice and needs that we see for that. What do

Timmy Tipton 

you see in wheat, jute and we’re calling me sizes, our Phase One sizes, which always leads to hopefully a phase two, we’re gonna go to larger diameters. We’re gonna see what we can do different equipment, things of that nature. But I would I would be on the lookout for more sizes in the future.

Garry 

Fantastic. Yeah. Yeah, I’m, I’m really impressed with this. This is great work by by the entire team to me on that fitting.

Timmy Tipton 

So the great news is, in the last, as we have brought out our molded outlet, reducing these bread over here in the corner has updated our ISCO specifications as well. And so molded outlet tees are now included in our specifications online.

Garry 

Already online. Fantastic. Brett, great job. Yeah. We’ll see any check if there’s any questions here that don’t see anything a lot answered. A lot of answered already. Brent and Jeremy have been busy typing away back there. Well, those are those are really the products that we wanted to show today. A little bit about ISCO. For those that may be new to, to our insights and who we are what we do, we none of us could be here today to bring these to you without you know, giving props to the company that we all work for right? Largest HDPE solutions provider in North America. And I say that easily. We cover facilities all across both the United States and Canada. With not just pipe and fittings, but you know equipment, all the rental equipment or if you want to purchase a machine we have the largest fleet available multiple options to get you hooked up with equipment new used. We also do a lot of custom standard fabrication do you live that every day absolutely handy in your world. Again, as I said earlier, if you draw it, we can build it full custom range of fabricated components, a great engineering and estimating and technical staff. Head by by led by Timmy here that can help you with your specifications, your standards, anything that you need, and training on both fusion equipment, and even just product knowledge what our team can bring that to you see our locations around the country. This is what we do polyethylene all day, every day. That question

Andy Rogers 

let’s see here. Matthew asked is the molded outlet reducing T available in dips and our smaller diameter reducing tees and 12 inch available that will

Timmy Tipton 

so right now dips is not available. And then 12 inches our smallest main, um has to do with some other commercially available molded products. So injection molded reducing these in particular, right. We believe that they covered the market pretty well. Yeah.

Garry 

I saw it. I think I saw a question earlier if there was part available with these molded reducing tees. So

Timmy Tipton 

at this exact moment, the answer is no. But we believe we will be doing it in the future. You know, I

Garry 

put that on your to do list. I know it’s already bad here.

Andy Rogers 

We also have a question from Jacob bar. The part is part pipe and our mold introducing teas available to purchase now. Yes. And yes. Yes. Before we showed the world of molded outlet reducing t we started building inventory with all the size ranges that you saw on that chart right in part by obviously out and available for a long time now. So

Garry 

you got so great questions, folks. Thank you very much for that

Andy Rogers 

the resources we’re

Garry 

going to add, right? Okay. Sorry, I was looking down instead of up. So a lot of resources that ISCO has a net let’s keep growing seems like every time I do one of these I’ve got an additional bullet points. But a wide range of these inside presentations are all available. If you’ve got teammates that weren’t able to join us today. These they can be reviewed and gone through a we do a lot of podcasts on a lot of different topics with A lot of subject matter experts, our video library is continuing to grow our CAD library. I really like to talk about that one, we got to think we got another slide on that. We’ve got field reports on different places where a certain project using a particular technology or product, or ISCO garage, which is really geared toward

Timmy Tipton 

industry leading industry leading by the way what’s at this stage overall? Yeah,

Garry 

it’s there is no other is there nope, death. And just a wealth of technical resources a lot on our on our website. And this is just a smattering of some of the things that you can see here, but I want to highlight a couple of them. In particular, HDPE fabricated structure guide. This one is kind of your brainchild, Timmy, putting together a full manual on structures, manholes that we make out of using all polyethylene, how to handle it, from design, how to how to put it together, how, you know, knowing what’s going to work, what doesn’t work. Even the installation, all those kinds of things. Andy, I know you’re you use a lot of this with their, in your world.

Andy Rogers 

Yeah, it’s just a great resource. We get so many questions all day, every day about structures and burial of them, and what size pipe should I use? And how thick should it be? So this really focuses on things like, you know, the ASTM 1759 standard for burying HDPE, pipe, a variety of different topics. I referenced this all the time, just in my daily work. So if it’s not useful to me, I’m certain it’s very useful to our engineering community. So it’s a great resource, right.

Garry 

And this is available to anybody, we’ll be glad to send it out if you if you have a need for it. The other big one that I would love to highlight is ISCO CAD library. I mean, basically every, every fitting component that that we produce, the available drawings are right there. In a in the CAD drawings are right there, that they can drop in that. That was a labor of love. I know for Brendon here and Timmies team, putting all that together. So you want to let stand up on that?

Timmy Tipton 

Well, yeah, it’s we were very proud of the CAD library, I put a lot of people on it. We’re hoping that it just makes an engineers job easier to specify what we do. If you have a question about dimensions, if you’ve got to understand if you need to understand how it needs to fit into a particular layout or, or in your project, we have it if it’s not there, send a send an inquiry into us and we’re gonna we’re gonna be able to get you some information to answer it. But we hope that we are giving you the information that you need at your fingertips. Right. And

Garry 

these remolded reducing T’s are they are already in that file.

Timmy Tipton 

They are not yet. Okay, but we will be I would didn’t mean to put you on the spot you did. I saw the smile.

Garry 

Very good. No, this, this is a great resource for all of our engineers online. They’re putting together these projects and laying these things out. This is I mean,

Timmy Tipton 

it’s just a great go to even our catalog. Yeah, the catalog is industry leading as well. We have all of our dimensions in it. We have technical information, that 15 pages of technical information that you can become a polyethylene expert on some level, if you just reach don’t

Garry 

get with someone after my job, he told me he can beat he can. There you go.

Andy Rogers 

Yeah, I just I want to stress in addition to the resources, like most of the products that everybody saw today, they they came from our viewers, I want to encourage everybody that’s watching this, everybody that watches this later, we’d love ideas, we love hearing what’s going to help you in the field, save time and save money and make your job easier. So by no means I mean, keep them coming, and give us feedback. And we’d love to listen to those ideas and see if we can develop them into real actual products that you can utilize one day. Absolutely.

Garry 

Because we’re all about, you know, continuing to grow the industry with with new resources and tools for them to use. We have there’s a see

Andy Rogers 

here any future plans to add different file file types other than step to the CAD library? Outside

Garry 

of my domain?

Timmy Tipton 

I can so at this moment, no, if you need something specific, just reach out, we can see what we can do.

Garry 

Okay, thank you for that. Is that all the? That’s all the questions that we’ve gotten right now. Well, now I get to ask a question of the audience. In our poll question.

Timmy Tipton 

Who’s going to win the NCAA?

Garry 

I mean, everybody’s going to be rooting for Illinois or Houston. Well, you don’t even have you’re not even supported and really quite thorough when you’re not going to be on tomorrow. So now the poll question relates to the topics that we’ve covered today. So if you would just take a moment and answer of what you saw today, whether it’s the the branch and the molded reducing tee, the ball valve, the dual containment, ball valve structure or the dual contained testing. Which one do you have an immediate need or more interest more need for information? Please respond to that. Let us know. We’ll be glad to get you additional information.

Andy Rogers 

I heard you almost a branch right there. And

Garry 

you know, I,

Andy Rogers 

I caught my snowboard still getting used to the new 30 years.

Garry 

30 years. Let’s see here. Oh, and we got seriously we got some some Yahoo on here and a Mike James, doing something about Arizona Wildcats. So I I’m sorry, Mike, we’re gonna have to disregard that that comment. But Dave asked, are the Mort products available for jurisdictional natural gas and I know, Timmy, those should have probably a different standard. Hello, B

Timmy Tipton 

3261 is the standard for some of that. It is not a target market at this exact moment. But it easily can be a targeted market in the future. So we’re talking about natural gas distribution. Right.

Garry 

Very good. Yep. So be on the lookout Dave. So 61 product may be coming in the in the near near future. Let’s see here. What do we have Jeremy asked current challenge we’re facing is fitting air valves on top of Barry pipes with required spacing, incorporating shorter air valves standpipe would be useful.

Andy Rogers 

Oh, I mean, it’s sounds like a cut maybe a potential. So

Garry 

just say, Hey, Jeremy might be asking us another. Another product needs. So

Andy Rogers 

Jerry, I think we’re gonna we’ll engage with you outside of the meeting and learn a little bit more about what you’re asking. But great. I mean, idea. We’d like to listen, I’d like to talk to you and see where we can take it. Absolutely.

Garry 

So now there’s Michaels jumping in here go line I had that guy wins the day right there. So thank you. Question, Rob.

Andy Rogers 

Doug, maximum pipe size for molded reducing teams, I assume that he means the main

Timmy Tipton 

Yeah, the main, the main is going to be 24 inch, currently 24 by 12, the largest main outlet combo. Working on other additional sizes in the future. Yep.

Garry 

Fantastic. Fantastic. Well, thank you, everybody. Thanks for answering the poll question. And we, if you’re on here and you’re needing see us today, please take a moment, scan this barcode and see in front of him. This will get that information sent over to us. And we will get you the CEU records for for you to share. So I’ll leave that up for just a minute for everybody to grab a snapshot of that. And if we if you miss it, or you didn’t get it, just please reach out to us. That the ISCO dash pipe.com backslash CEU. And we can still get them for you. So no worries on the on the Barco. Other ways you want to connect with us? My goodness, I mean all of them there. Right? I know. Yeah. Some of these I don’t

Andy Rogers 

even know about their ways to connect with us. We had to explain what that x meant to you earlier that

Garry 

well, that’s not the x that I see on my phone. Right. That’s what that is. I know, I’m still looking for the bird, a little bird, Little Blue Bird. So keep changing things on me. But yeah, please check those out. If they’re you’re prone to one or the other. Yeah, you’ve got multiple ways to get in touch with us. And with that, I don’t see any other questions in the in the box.

Andy Rogers 

So yeah, I just want to stress the email address up there insights that is good Ash pipe.com. We have a very comprehensive, thorough Follow Up program. So if you email questions to that email address, not only is it going to get answered, but we’re also going to determine what sort of true follow up is required with the customer. So I just want to push that because we’ve gotten really, really good at answering all these questions before during after right yeah, and

Timmy Tipton 

then you know, even if you got a question that comes up in the next week or two, don’t don’t hesitate send it inside to ISCO-pipe.com We will answer that question.

Andy Rogers 

wanted you to go back to the scene. You slide Garry so he can probably take a picture. Okay,

Garry 

there we go. Yeah, I saw that come across. But anyway, Andy, Timmy. Thanks again for joining me. Always a pleasure to have you guys in studio with me Jeremy and Brett. Appreciate you guys. Fill in all those questions coming in. I saw you guys were typing away I think I see a little smoke coming off your off your laptops there. But I can’t do it. I couldn’t do this without you guys. So thanks again for joining me in here and appreciate all of you today. Thank you for joining us here on ISCO insights, hope you found it beneficial, got some information out of it. And again, if more questions come up later on, please reach out to us and we will get back with you in touch and get you answered and get you taken care of. So with that, we’re going to sign off for now. Thanks again for joining us and happy fusing.
