Single-Wall Pipe
Springfield Plastics' single-wall pipe is manufactured for underground drainage applications where soil support is given to the flexible walls.
The use of single-wall plastic pipe is only recommended where drainage water is free of debris and floating material. Its primary use is to collect and convey drainage water by open gravity.
The plastic pipe is manufactured to the highest quality control standards only using high-quality virgin high-density polyethylene. The plastic pipe meets or exceeds the following specifications: ASTM F405-13, ASTM F667-12, AASHTO M252, and AASHTO M294.

Technical Data
Gravel-Less Leachfield
The gravel-less leachfield system (GLS) uses large-diameter (8" and 10") corrugated pipe manufactured from high-quality, high-density polyethylene.
Holes are drilled in the valleys of the corrugations, and the entire plastic pipe is encased in polyester filter fabric. This filter fabric serves the system by wicking effluent around the circumference of the pipe for further treatment. The native soil is used for backfilling, eliminating the need for gravel. The GLS serves the disposal system in two important functions: the system is a conveyance and storage system for the septic tank effluent, and the system acts as a secondary treatment process to the effluent.
The large-diameter plastic pipe provides storage capacity and carries the effluent to the soil. The plastic pipe also provides better oxygen transfer capabilities due to the larger surface area of effluent and increased oxygen content present. The holes, located at 60 degrees off the bottom of the center, create a settling basin for the organic solids carryover from the septic tank. The solids are then further stabilized by bacterial action producing a quality effluent from the gravel-less pipe and reducing the organic load on the soil.
Springfield Plastics' GLS pipe meets or exceeds the requirements of ASTM F405 and ASTM F667 standards. The pipe is approved in many areas, but the use of and installation requirements are subject to the applicable governmental agency. Our team is happy to assist you in seeking necessary approvals or determining proper installation requirements.
