GeneralStark,
When I say "naturally", I'm mean that the original formula of virgin polyethylene is non-toxic. You could eat a handful of polyethylene pellets without any problem (I'm not...
Mark,
Simply a question of inventory. Do you imagine doubling all the sizes and lengths for a 15-year mainline? We would have to create 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2" and 2" with 500footer and reel...
It won't be a surprise for all of you if I'm telling you that PVC is an outdated product for maple sap collection. As we are a PE Pipe supplier, it's easy for me to say that HDPE is a better resin....
Several times, we have heard people using the RAPIFIX (RAPITUBE'S black tie) for quick repairs in the woods even if you are using wired mainline. We have decided to make a short video to show how...
Hello snowman,
To have a regular and even heating we would recommend heating with hot water only. Not that torching the tubing would necessarily be a bad thing, but it's harder to always have the...
Hello Buffalo Creek Sugar Camp,
(I already answered you on another forum, but in case you would prefer this one..) :)
The rate of linear expansion should be very similar. However, you will still...
These chairs were quite popular at the Verona Maple Show last weekend. We were promoting the fact that you have more time to sit and relax when you choose the RAPITUBE! :)...
Hello GeneralStark,
Until we gather all HDPE fittings, we are still using stainless steel for some connections.
We offer coils of VERSAPIPE FUSION from 1-1/4 to 4". 500-footers from 1-1/4" to...
Hello folks,
This year at Verona, Versaprofiles and CDL were presenting this new video showing how to install VERSAPIPE FUSION + ELECTRO FUSION couplings in a sugarbush. The system consists of...
We saw some holes becoming oblong in the past when improperly installed. With the RAPITUBEV2 this problem was solved. The tube wall is now thicker, so the hole won't deform. You can use a CDL...
trevorhallam,
You could also do it the easy way with wireless mainline: RAPITUBE. :)

Hello cur dog,
The "FLASH" color seemed to be more popular than the "SHADOW" at this show. Unfortunately, we might develop more with this first color in the upcoming months. We are going to have...

cur dog,
Longevity will be the same as any other Versaprofiles (IPL) 5/16" tubing. Our 4-SEASON "SHADOW" as a 10 year warranty, but you can expect a couple years more depending of where you are...
Hello cur dog,
The 4-SEASON "SHADOW" is a flexible 5/16" not a semi-rigid.
Please contact your dealer for price.
Hello Flatlander,
We are returning back from a maple show in Verona, NY and I have talked with some producers who are in the same position as you. Quoting them: "Rapi-Tube was the system we were...

Is your Black 1" Pipe had a deal on it? Is it HDPE or LDPE?
You will...

Perryfamily,
Two things are sure with the Rapi-Tube: 1- It is much more easier to install and repair. 2- It is not as cheap as the regular mainline.
I hope that this Excel sheet will answer...
lew, GeneralStark,
The tools (heating devices) used to FUSE the HDPE pipe can be rent or bought from your CDL rep/installer. CDL and Versaprofiles (formerly IPL) will recommend (if not oblige) you...
