Porcelain Glass Lining
C&B Piping manufactures CBGL911 Porcelain Glass Lining for ductile iron piping systems. Glass lining is typically used to prevent clogging, build up, or wear for sewage service lines which contain solids content. Glass lining provides a superior non stick surface. It is also abrasion and corrosion resistant. CBGL911 is deep green in color. CBGL911 has been offered since 2003 and has been installed in hundreds of treatment plants in the USA, Canada, and across the world. CBGL911 lined ductile iron pipe provides superior bonding characteristics over steel pipe due to the inherent surface characteristics of the centrifugally cast surface of ductile iron pipe.

ISO 8179-1 Arc Spray Zinc Metallizing
C&B Piping provides Arc Spray Zinc application to ductile iron pipe, fittings, fab closures, and flanges. Our process complies with ISO 8179-1. Zinc is effective in providing cathodic protection to the surface of iron & steel which extends the service life of the product.
Estimating
C&B Piping provides material take-offs and project price estimates taken directly from engineer’s plans & specifications. Each quotation includes all the ductile iron pipe systems required for the project listed by pipe system & lining/coating. Our easy to read format is used by our customers to review internal estimates for accuracy and to consider other ways of building the pipe system. We provide our estimates in spreadsheet format for those using spreadsheets to run material comparisons and cost evaluations.
Special Application Linings & Coatings
C&B Piping can furnish special application linings or coatings on ductile iron pipe & fittings. We offer Ceramapure PL90 NSF-61 approved lining for potable water and salt water applications, and special exterior coatings such as Sherwin Williams ZincClad XI to meet ISO 8179 specifications.

Drafting & Value Engineering
In order to further assist the contractor, C&B can provide ductile iron pipe layout drawings for the project. Our drawings illustrate the piping system and include a listed bill of material on the drawing to facilitate a clear and easy process for releasing to production and tracking the material onsite through installation. Each item is marked with a tag number and associated to the drawing. Our drawings can be used as a submittal to the engineer if desired. Our customers can modify the drawing to match field conditions and it can be used as an “as built” as needed by the contractor.
C&B enjoys over 30 years of focused service on the unique needs of the water and wastewater contractor. Our seven sales people have over 175 combined years of experience with ductile iron piping products and contractor installations. Our experienced drafting team enjoys assisting the contractor and engineer with improving their pipe layouts and designs. We are actively reviewing project plans and specifications and providing layout assistance targeted to either reduce unnecessary product costs or enhance the value of the final pipe system. We are here to help you.
C&B currently uses AutoCad® to develop our drawings and we provide the AutoCad® files to you including in the cost of this service.
