Transcript

All right. Good afternoon, everybody.
Welcome to anothergreat edition of ISCO Inside.
My name is Garry Bouvet.
I'll be your host todaywith this great topic
that we have for usand then take a little sidebar here.
This is like a ChristmasEve holiday for me.
It's Sweet 16 in the NCAAbasketball tournament.
And my favorite team, the fighting Alive.
And I, myalma mater, has got a game tonight at 1010
Eastern time against Iowa State cyclones.
And I'm so excited.
I can't wait til that moment gets here.
But before we get there tonight, I've gottwo great guests with me joining me.
We're going to be talking all things,some ISCO Innovation, some products,
new productsthat we're bringing to the marketplace.
And I got to fabulous guests with metoday, regulars on the Just Go insights.
Many of you may have seen them before.
First one, I got Timmy Tiptonjoining 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 webinarfor those who might be new to the show.
We've got all of your video and audioturned off to enhance our video quality.
If you've got feedback troubleshootingissues,
please dropsome, drop a message into the chat box
and one of our technicianswill try to help
get you on board,get you going with whatever your issue is.
If you've got a questionabout a particular item product
that we're showing today, pleasedrop 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 Brad Sills
and Jeremy Becker behind the sceneshelping answer and field those questions.
So please drop those in the Q&A.
We welcome those opportunities to get youanswers to the questions that you have.
With thatsaid, let's get right into my guests.
First one, Timmy Tipton.
Welcome back to this guy's insights.
I think it's like your third or fourthtime now, a regular Garry.
Yeah, you're becoming one to me.
Yeah.
I mean, that's that's pretty good.
Co-host Yeah, pretty good company.
So tell the audiencefor those who might be on here today,
give them a little bitabout your background.
So I've been in polyethylene for 18 yearsand mostly technical,
but I am our technical director,which means I lead our team of engineers
to help develop productssuch as what you'll see today.
Fantastic.
Well, I know you've been a huge help to me
over all these yearsand a great friend as well.
So thanks for joining us.
My next guest,another regular here 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 are becominga kind of a regular as well.
But it is it is glad to be here.
It's also opening day of baseball season.
Yes, it is.
And Easter weekend was a good time.
So I've been Esko almost 16 yearsnow, about 20 years in the industry.
I managed several groupshere, sales groups estimating
I got a really strong knowledgeof fabrication, custom kind of innovation.
And that's a topic today.
So glad to be hereand thanks for having me. Well, fantastic.
I know both of you guyshave had a big involvement in
some of these products that we're goingto 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, Andy,you and I talked about this product maybe
two years ago, I think a yearand a half ago on a previous insights.
But it's kind of evolvedsince that, since that time.
And that's the fast flange.
Tell us a little bit about the fast plans.
So two years ago,I think we didn't even have the name yet.
We called it a quick access led,I believe.
So a couple of things have changedsince then.
We have a name,obviously the fast flange.
We actually have inventory of this productand when we introduced it
a couple of years ago, really intwo sizes, we offered 18 inch and 24 inch,
but now we also offer a six inch,eight inch and 12 units.
And this and those sizes at theat the request of our customers, really.
So what what's uniqueabout the fast flange?
I mean, we're where would this be used?
What what applications do you see this
as an advantageover the traditional methods?
So to keep it simple, it's a different wayto terminate a piece of HDPE pipe.
It's a low pressure solution to that.
So everybody that's worked withHP has seen a traditional land adapter
with backing ring and full Nancy one£50 bolt pattern and blind flange.
So what this allows is for the operatorand only one person to easily
open and close a lid at the end of a pipefor a variety of reasons.
So you're eliminating the blind flange binout on many job sites.
And in my 30 years in this business,
I'm looking at this and thinkingabout a blind flange and bolts
and nuts and dropping those into the markthat I'm that I'm working in.
Right.
This has some neat thingsbecause everything's intact.
And as you said, as a11 personjob, it's a one person job.
All the components to it or captive.So nothing can drop.
You can't drop a bolt in the water.
It also can be applied to a new buildor you can retrofit an existing
so if you have a existingblind plans 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 iton a brand new piece of pipe.
I see your question.
How does it attach to plane in pipe?
Well,it doesn't that you actually have to fuze
on a standard flange adapterbut that's it. Yeah.
So the find the flange adapter itselfprovides that the meet if you will,
for the back and the front of the passplans to climb on to.
And I think we've got a couple pictureshere, Andy, to kind of highlight
some of the applicationswhere this has already been installed.
Yeah.
So the most popular one so far isis a side slope rise or on a landfill.
But when we introduce items,it's inevitable
that people start coming forward withother potential applications and sizes.
So that's a lot of what what you seehere are side slope rises on landfills.
If you look at the picture on the right,
you can actually see a discharge linethat's going into that pipe.
We even pre fabricate that entire piecewith the fast flange on it
and the pipethat can actually exit the sidewall.
So there'sa lot of different applications.
Like I said, it's got to be low pressureor gravity.
If you if you're talkingabout a pressurized pipe system,
you still need to use a traditional boltedblind flange.
That's going to be my next question.
I think we've actually got a
couple of questions that pop in herewhile we're on this topic.
Jeremy asked Is the openingof the first flange for poor
full diameter, Such a clean outpig could be passed through for clean out.
Well, it doesn't affectthe inside diameter at all.
I mean, the inside diameter is controlledby the pipe itself in the flange adapter.
So yeah, it is,it is small for initially. Yep.
And then Dan asked in the fastlane is be used
at a landfill gas applicationwhere vacuum is applied.
Absolutely yeah but in fact thatthat helps it sealing in better right.
When we tested these
we had to put themthrough positive pressure
because it's just a more strictenvironment to test the product against.
But it absolutely, absolutely worksin a vacuum application, right?
Fantastic.
I think we even have a video, Andy,
that you can kind of walk the audiencethrough on on an installation.
Yeah, this is goodbecause obviously it's in the field.
But the point I made earlierabout a retrofit, you can actually see
the old ductile backup ring already there.
So they unbolted it blind,they split it back.
But these this is one of those things thatwe don't always think of in our mind.
The end was always at the top.
And when one of our customersinstalled this, they put it to the side
and swung it open like alike a microwave door, if you will.
And so we love that.
We we like to come up with newand innovative things,
but we don't always foresee exactly howit's going to be utilized in the field.
So it was just a really good exampleto show
how quick and easy and that was 18 inchand you saw how fast that guy did that.
So that was an 18 inch fast lingerie openand I don't know, 15 seconds maybe.
Yeah. Yeah.
And I that an O-ring seal on thatthat it is and that's how we're able
to withstand that small positive pressureor in a vacuum application.
Yeah well good to see some more questionspopping in on these.
What is the max pressure you wouldrecommend as low pressure applications.
Can you define that low pressure?
I can.
We published it at two. Okay.
Now we were able to reach some pressureshigher than that.
But when you get into largersizes like the 18 inch and the 24 inch,
we had to be a little conservativein terms of what we published.
So when we say low for this product, we'respecifically talking about really low
like two pieces.
So essentially gravity or a vacuum.
Yes. Yeah. Okay, fantastic.
Michael asked, How do you get a talkranch on those wingnuts?
And I mean, we really don't need
to talk a ranch on those, right?
I mean, there hand their hand, right hand.
Luke You know, we're talking aboutlow pressure gravity application.
I understand the question.
I could see the need for that
if we were dealing with pressuresthat were significant.
But for what they're being put in, it'sit's it's really a hand tie.
And if it's applied to vacuum, I mean,you can tighten it as much as you need.
Yep. Fantastic.
All right. Well,keep those questions coming.
We really appreciate it, everybody.
And hopefullywe're going to answer all those.
And if we don't get to your questiontoday, please, by all means, know
that we will answereverybody offline later on.
We have a whole team that will respond toany questions that are still open ended.
So thank you againfor those and keep them coming.
Let's talk about our
next product here and Andy and Timmy.
This is dual containment, HDP ball valves.
Now, you know, we're familiarwith the process of
of putting valves in fuzed ballvalves 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?
A discount product come aboutand the needs for it or the history
of this product or something related toit is a little patchy there too.
Two years ago when we did this,we had actually shown a dual containment
butterfly valve that's no longermanufactured, but for the applications
that that was being put inand it was really an on off application.
So we needed to develop a dualcontainment ball valve.
Now while we are actually workingon some additional product development,
this is what we came up withas the interim.
So what you see is it's pretty simple.
Essentially, it's a it's a usableHDP, full port ball
valve holes in a containment structureor containment piece excuse me.
And this has become more and more popularbecause you can put it
in a buried application.
But what you're doingis bypassing a potential structure.
So to bury a lineor to to make a line dual containment
in two inch or three inchor four inch ball valve, a lot of times
you'd have to actually house itin something larger.
I think 2436.
And so not only would you be saving moneywith this piece, but you're also saving
installation costs for your footprint,you know, to dig a big hole for a
for a structure.
And then you simply take a riserto the ground surface with a cap or a line
and you can operate the valve on and offin a buried application.
Right.
And I know a lot of talk,a lot of engineers over
the years would love lovedto eliminate valve vaults
because those are a big headache for them.
And as you said, for construction againand having the reason
and not enough spacefor that in their system.
So I think we've got a cutawaycross-section, cutaway
that you can see the valveinside the actual structure. Now,
Yes, it's
not too complicated,but it's one of those things, again,
that our customersare giving us feedback in the field
and the patchy history of a producteven being available in the first place is
kind of what led us tohelp develop this and hopefully
to develop it even further in the futureand offer larger sizes.
Because right now we stop at fourby eight.
We do have plans to go larger than that,right?
The dual containment market,like you said earlier on the fast lasers,
it's been landfill heavy for many decades,but we're absolutely
seeing dual containmentmore and more in other industries now.
Right.
We see it in chemical plantsand different things.
If you've got a concern about it,you know, environmental concerns,
which is on everybody's forefront,
you know, this could be an optionfor you to look at for sure.
All right.
Moving on tolet's see the beginning questions on that.
We did get one from David. From David.Yeah.
If the fact is what you need to cut outand replace
that section of pipe valves,can you just replace the valves?
Yeah, that's a questionwe thought might come up.
I mean, Dave, David's got it figured outand that that is the issue.
Okay?
And so there's a little bit of a riskreward there.
Or if something did happen with the valvethat I think the good news is,
is that full bore HDPE ball valves inan 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 chance of something goingwrong with that valve is very low.
And in terms of value cost in the valveversus
a large structure, you'reyou're still winning with that product.
But yes,
if you add a actual issue underground,you would have to excavate and cut that.
Yeah, no. Good.
Very 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 containmenttest spool.
So again, we're staying in that dual
containment worldthat we were just talking about.
And this is a test spool.
What's the origination?
What we kind ofbrought this one to the to the say so
this one wasn't like an idea that Isco hadand like we need to build this.
This is a perfect example of our customersgiving us feedback in the field
when they have to actually test dualcontainment piping systems.
We would historically supplyall these components
and our customers would weld all thesecomponents together in the field.
They would test the dual containmentby the carrier and the containment
and they would move on.
So a couple of years ago,
one day a customer was 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 againand now now we're making these pieces
as a fully assembled piece in the factory
from two by four,all the way up to eight by 12.
And one of the best parts of allthis product is you can reuse it.
So if you were to look at the drawingand there's a note there
that you can't actually see,
but the centralize hereis not fixated to the pipe itself.
So this is a piece you can do asimultaneous perfusion well in the field.
You can test the carrier,
you can test the containment,you can test both at the same time
and then you can cut the piece offand use it on a future project. Right.
So multiplereuse with this with this product.
And do you foresee additional sizes comingor is that kind of the
the sweet spot window?
I mean, I think we could,but once you go beyond
eight by 12, not that we don't make plentyof larger diameter.
Yeah, I just don't think it comes upenough to warrant the, the production yet.
But like I said, we're constantlythat's what this is about.
We listen to our customers, right?
If the need is there, we willwe will proceed with the R&D requirements
to build larger pieces. Exactly.
It's kind 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 donehere.
So, I mean, so far we're three for three.
On listening to the customer care.
That's good. That's really good.
And we haven't dropped anything,you know, put things on the table.
So then the next one is the HDPE360 ball valve.
So just a standalone ball valve
and this one's kind of newfrom what is traditional ball valves.
And obviously to me think this you've hada lot of involvement with this one.
Yeah.
So traditional ball builder quarterturn ball valves and in that you're Gering
has it where you open your valve so fastyou can get a water hammer,
you can break off, you can over talk,you can break the knot,
you can do many things that arethat are damaging to to the
the ball valves with the 360 ball valve,
you make a complete 360 degree rotation
to the Tobin
right It reducesyour amount of water hammer it reduces the
the ability to over talk essentiallywhat we believe is it gives it a long life
or a longer life than a quarterturn ball valve.
The other cool thing is on the top,you can actually see there's a indicator
or a gauge which shows the abilityto have it open and closed.
So when you know where you areas you're standing on top, turning it,
there you go.
Open green and then red, right? There
you go.
Well, you turn that pretty easy toit is completely low talk.
Now, if I got a water push, I guessthat you're going to be able to turn it.
So it is a low torque Bouvetble.
So it's actually a lot lower torquethan even the quarter turn.
So, yes, the answer is yes.
We see we're seeing a lot of thisin our irrigation
side, our golf irrigation in particular,where it's being utilized.
And you know, those things valvesare buried super deep so that being able
that visual identification,when they open up the valves
box, that's usually maybe a foot or footand a half buried.
It works very it works very well.
Absolutely. Yeah.
So currently in twoand it was at three and four
orienting the branch to it is therewill think it'll go bigger
or go to let the market workand let the market decide.
You know the customers requested it.
We have it now.
Now we just need to see what the marketindicates, where we need to go.
So John asks question
Do you make the the valves in Curt
Not currently.
Currently,that valve is not available. John.
And the for the product line,which for those who don't know
we'll talk about PERT herewhat a Segway has been
watching our presentation butPERT is a polyethylene raised temperature
so for maybe hot water applications,higher temperatures
than what traditional standardHDPE 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 or some type or more commonly
we see like a 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 PERT now.
This may not necessarily be a new product.It is it for me.
I've been involved in this productfor almost eight years now,
but it's a polyethylene raised temperatureand again,
designed for hot water, hothigher temperature, liquid applications
than what traditional HDPE can handle,which is limited to 140 degrees.
So this product, this per pipe,can go up over to 180 degrees,
and it's identifiableto distinguish it from traditional HDPE
with the for what they callplatinum stripe or gray stripes
that are on the pipe that distinguishes itfrom traditional HDPE pipe.
Andy,I know you've guys in the landfill side
have had some usageswith the with the pipe.
Yeah, like you said, it's not new, it'snot a new material.
But when we started introducing itwith seven, eight, nine years ago,
we were,
we were telling people it could be used inhot landfill gas applications.
Well, now we can prove it.
It's it's been successfully installedin over 20 landfills,
hot landfills with no reported failure.
So, of course, when that happensand we have success with it,
we will start stocking certainsizes and patterns.
But it is absolutely become a viable
alternate to PPCor hot landfill gas wells.
In addition, all the other marketsthat you deal with on a constant basis.
So it's just a
not only is a great product when it cameout, now it's a proven product.
And I think that was partof the point of kind of keeping it in
this in thewas one of the products for showcase.
Exactly.
And Tammy, you and your team,your group work do a lot with the PERC
fittings, right?
So full range of of fittingsand connections to other pipes.
If the pipe can be made,we have a fitting for it.
So and we've actually even madeseveral structures now out of part pipe,
which we couldn't talk about that six,eight years ago.
So on and it's pretty consistent now.
Yeah, we've actually made quite a few nowand yes,
applications completely outor even dual containment structures.
Yeah, so that's pretty cool.
So yeah, so if you've got some
high temperature applicationsand you love the value
and benefits of HDPE Pipe,give us a call, give reach out to us.
This is a great productfor those applications
and I think we've got even a few picturesfrom some of your,
some of the different job siteswhere the pipe has been going in Chicago
wells that you were talking aboutand always good to show it actually
being installed instead ofjust putting it up on a table, right?
Absolutely.
Like that fusionprocedure is exactly the same.
Joining it.
So the same fusion equipment and processfor doing for standard HDPE.
And this is just the kind of operatingtemperature table that's available
for the and the pressurebased on the DA of the pipe.
So again, reach out to us
if you think you may have an applicationor a need for it.
Now the the the fun one right.
This is the this is the big onestar of the show, big reveal.
We introducing
the bolded outlet Reducing t
Please tell us we're not going to makethat the more acronym.
It's already been said a couple timesI don't know yeah.
For an hour or still saying the completestill saying the complete frame so
break shadow reducing TS Rightwe're used to that.
That's what I've beenI've been in this business over 30 years.
That's how we do reducing ts refusea sidewall fuze a branch saddle on,
cap it outand then extend our lateral coming out.
We're now introducing what we calla molded outlet of reducing t right
for multiple main sizes
and for various outlet sizes as well.
Want to tell us a little bitabout the origination
Timmy of of how this came about and
absolutely so as you said,
traditional means is using a4a12 by six reducing
T is going to be using a 12or using a six inch branch saddle.
The six inch branchsaddle is something that know
sometimes is more difficultto procure than others. Right.
You're using a sidewall fusion and then you're fuzing it to another pipe.
Right.
And ultimately what we're doing here is
we are using a molding process
to then make a straight fusion.
Any time you can make a straight fusion,
we as a companybelieve that a straight fusion is always
in the best interest of our customerand 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 transitionfrom the branch 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 heateradapters, every size has a heater adapter.
We now we now have we now
no longer have to track themquite, quite as much. Yes.
So this what standardsdoes this apply to.
Right.
Because reducing TS were under a year22 or six.
Right now we're in the molded right.
Yeah.
This is this is what we call a molded size
it's a molded outletbecause we're using a molding process
to get where we need to be meetsACM D 30 to 61.
Okay.
You know, we did extensive short
term pressurization and long term elevatedtemperature, sustained 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 step outsin landfill type applications.
And generally we're going to bein a landfill application
and be doing a gusset advance shuttlereducing t
We wanted to get somewhere that wewhere we could remove the gusset to help.
You know, honestly, it's ait ends up being a a
a velocity manufacturing velocity equationat that point.
But if we could get to something thatthat can have the shear resistance equal
to or greater than the gusset to branchout of reducing t we thought we had a win
in this particular case.
We have a win win.
Big win, right?
Absolutely. And Andy,he mentioned the landfills.
How tell us how this howthis really affects
your market that you're that you're inand the customers that you deal with
in the last I'd say 10 to 12 years
gusset reducing to use have really beenused almost exclusively compared
to a traditional branch that already citybecause the burial environment
on a landfill is super dynamicit changes a lot.
It puts a lot of external stress.
So designing and building thiswith the same internal pressure
rating is a branch that'll reduce.
He was great,but there was another challenge to meet
and that challenge was to meetor exceed the strength of the gusset in T
and that in that dynamic environmentand it's probably the
the most fastthat you can actually pull the nation
in because those soil, it'smoving all the time, right? Yes.
Compacted very well.
Your ground's constantly shifting. Right.
So I think we have a photomaybe of some of that testing that we did.
And I'll let Timmy describe the photo.
So what we decided to dois we want a 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 comparativeanalysis was to differing options
in this case,we're applying a load on the outlet.
We're measuring the load in PCI
or in the hydraulic forcejust 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 itfrom one to the next?
The actual value is insignificantat this point, but what we did was
we ended up getting into our resultswhere are molded outlet
tees are molded out like reducing teessurpassed in every instance
a gusset that it out of reducing Tfrom the shear side from pressure side
as well it became we
we brought each one to failure and the failures were
what we wanted to seewhich were nice and ductile fail as well.
Fantastic.
So they are they are proven to be
as goodor better than the gusset of outlet tees.
And that's, that's, that's a big advantage for the customers.
And I think what's there
is a table with different size rangesthat are available
and you can see therethere's Timmy mentioned earlier
so we got anything from, you know, aeight inch outlet, six inch outlets,
even up to 12 inch on 24 inch and 18 inch.
I barrel once you zoom inand all that gives him an opportunity
to look at some of what the it looks.
You can see thethe overall internal aspects of the
this molded reducing t
are going to get buried
a third hand in here in a second.
So in focusthis might be a tough shot to see
but let's say therethere we go to keep that light.
Yeah you can see.
Go ahead, Andy. Talk to me.
Yeah, tell us about that.
Generally,when you're when you have a brace,
I'll tell you what you end up withis a very sharp edge
on the idea of whatever size the
outlet is.
And in this particular case,how the geometry forms.
You end up with a larger bore at thevery base and then you do the bottom.
And so every time
it's going to increase your flow or it'sgoing to have your pumping costs be less.
And, you know, one of the other things
I like about this,we don't have the risk of any shavings
or anything being being in therenow that it's a molded, molded fitting.
So yeah.
So if you go back to the chart and so the
the big win here is the,
the sizecolumn of the main and the branch.
There's some overlap there at the top,but it would fall by six I'm told by a
there are a marginally availableinjection molded reducing tees
which we supply all the time.
The challenge was above that right.
So while you get to 16 and 18 and 24 edgeall the way,
24 inch mainand as large as a 12 inch outlet, right
now we're entering a realmthat we just have not been in before.
So it's a exciting size range, excitingproduct, exciting strength.
And so we are we're proudto show the world today.
And I don't think we're we're stopping.
We're stopping here on these size combos.
Again, it's probably kind of whatthe market dictates, right?
The needs that we see for that would bewhat do you see?
And so we do itand we're calling these sizes
our phase one size is what always leads tohopefully a phase two.
We're going to go to larger diameters,we're going to see what we can do,
different equipment,things of that nature.
But I would I would be on the lookoutfor more sizes in the future.
Fantastic.
Yeah. Yeah.I'm really impressed with this.
This is great work by by the entire team,Timmy on that setting.
So the great news is in the lastas we have brought out our molded outline
reducing tees Bret over here inthe corner has updated our specifications
as well and so mobile outlets are nowincluded in our specifications online
already online.
Fantastic. Bret great job. Yeah,
we'll see any
check if there's any questions here.
I don't see anything. A lot answered.
A lot answered already.
Bret and Jeremy have been busytyping away back there.
Well, those arethose are really the the products
that we wanted to show todaya little bit about just go for for those
that may be new to to our insightsand who we are and what we do.
You know we none of us could be here todayto bring these to you without,
you know, give a props to the companythat we all work for.
Right.
The largest HP solutionsprovider in North America.
And I say that easily, we cover
facilities all acrossboth the United States and Canada
with not
just type and fittings, but,you know, equipment,
all the rental equipmentor 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 customstandard fabrication.
Do you live that every day,Andy, in your world?
Again, as I said earlier,if you draw it, we can build it
for customrange of fabricated components,
a great engineeringand estimating and technical staff
headed by led by Timmy herethat can help you
with your specifications, your standards,anything that you need,
and training on both fusion equipmentand even just product knowledge.
Our team can bring that to you.
You can see our locationsaround the country.
This is what we do polyethyleneall day, every day, no question.
Let's say here,
Matthew, you ask is the molded outletreducing t available in dips
and our smaller diameterreducing tees and 12 inch available.
So right now dips is not availableand then 12 inches
our smallest main has to do with,you know, some other commercially
available molded products so injectionmolded reducing days in particular.
Right. We think we believethat they cover the market pretty well.
Yeah I had saw itI think I saw a question earlier
if there was per availablewith these molded reducing tees.
So at this exact moment the answer is no.
But we believe we will be doing itin the future.
You know, I put that on your to do list.
I know it's already back here,but we also have a question from Jacob
Are the part is part pipe and are moldedreducing tees available to purchase now.
Yes and yes both yes.
Before we showed the worldthe molded outlet reducing heat,
we started building inventory with all thesize ranges that you saw in that chart.
Right. In part by obviouslyhaving available for a long time now.
So. Exactly.
So great questions, folks.
Thank you very much for that.
Let's
go to the resources oncewe're right there.
Okay. So I was looking down instead of up.
So a lot of resourcesthat this go has a net loss keep growing.
Seems like every time I doone of these, I've got bullet points.
But a wide range of these insidepresentations are all available.
If you've got teammatesthat weren't able to join us today,
thesethey can be reviewed and gone through.
We do a lot of podcasts,
a lot of different topicswith a lot of subject matter experts.
Our video library is continuing toto grow our can library.
I really like to talk about that one.
We gotI think we've got another slide on that.
We've got field reportson different places where
a certain project using a particulartechnology or product or ESCO garage
which is really geared towards industryleading industry leading, by the way.
What's that?
yes. There is no other is there?
Nope.
Yeah,and just a wealth of technical resources.
A lot on our on our website.
This is just a smattering ofsome of the things that you can see here,
but I want to highlight a couple of them.
In particular,the fabricated structure guide.
This one is kind of your brainchild,
Timmy, putting together
a full manual on structures
that we make out using all polyethylene,
how to handle it from design,how to how to put it
together, how, you know, knowingwhat's going to work, what doesn't work,
even the installation, all those kind of things.
Andy, I know you're you use a lot of thiswith their in your world.
Yeah it's just a great resource.
We get so many questions all day,every day about structures and burial,
all of them and what size pipeshould I use and how thick should it be.
So this really focuses on thingslike the ASTM 1739 standard
for burying the pipeof a variety of different topics.
I referenced all the timejust 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?
And this is to anybody
would be glad to send it outif you if you have a need for it.
The other big one that I love to highlight is this Notepad CAD library.
I mean, basically every every spinning
component that we produce, good bailable
drawings are right there in a
and the CAD drawings are right there,but they can drop in that.
That was a labor of loveI know for for Brendan
here and Timmy's teamputting all that together.
So you want to stand up on that.
Well yeahwe we're very proud of the CAD library.
I put a lot of people on it.
We're hoping that it just makes andengineer job easier to specify what we do.
If you have a question about dimensions,if you've got to if you need to understand
how it needs to fit into a particularlayout or or in your project, we have it.
If if it's not thereto send an inquiry into to us
and we're going to, we're going to be ableto get you some information to tantra.
But we we hope that we are giving you
the informationthat you need at your fingertips. Right.
And these remolded reducing.
TS Are they are there any in that file?
They are not yet, but we will be.
I didn't mean to put you on the spotthere. You did.
I saw the smile.
Very good.
Know this?
This is a great resourcefor all of our engineers online.
They're putting together these projectsand laying these things out.
This is, I mean, just a greatgo to even our catalog.
The catalog is industry leading as well.
We have all of our dimensions in it.
We have technical informationwith 15 pages of technical information
that you can become
a polyethylene expert on some levelif you just don't get it done.
After my job, you tell me,can be the HP Credit Union.
There you go.
Yeah, I justI want to stress, in addition,
the resources, like most of the productsthat everybody saw today, they they
they came from our viewers.
Right.
And I want to encourageeverybody that's watching this,
everybody that watchesthis later is that we'd love ideas.
We love hearingwhat's going to help you in the field,
save time and save moneyand make your job easier.
So by no means I mean, keep on comingand give us feedback.
And we love to listen to those ideasand see if we can develop them
into real actual productsthat you can utilize one day.
Absolutely.
Because we're all about,you know, continuing to grow the industry,
but with new resourcesand tools for them to use.
Well, we have there's a say here.
Any future plans to add different filefile types
other than step to the ad librarythat's outside of my domain.
I can so at this moment know if you needsomething specific, just reach out.
We can see what we can do.
Okay.
Thank you for that. Is that all the.
Yep, That's all the questionsthat we've got right now.
Well, now I get to ask a questionof the audience in our poll question.
Who's going to winthe inside of your island trip?
I mean, everybody's going to be rootingfor Illinois or Houston.
What do you even you'renot even supporting play by play more?
Well, we're not going to be on tomorrow.
So now the poll
question relates to the topicsthat we've covered today.
So if you would just take a moment
and answer of what you saw today,whether it's the
the, you know, branch of the moldedreducing t the ball valve,
the dual containment ball valve structureor the dual contained testing,
which one do you have immediate needor more interest
more need for information please to that.
Let us know.
We'll be glad to get you additional information.
I heard you almost say branch right there.
You know, I caught yours.
So getting used to the ideafor the new 30 years
and 30 years.
Let's see here.
and we got seriously,we got some some Yahoo!
On here named Mike James doingsomething about Arizona Wildcats.
So I'm sorry, Mike.
We're going to have to disregardthat that comment. But
Dave asked,
are the bought productsavailable for jurisdictional natural gas?
And I know me those should have a probablya they have a different standard.
So D 3261is is the standard for some of that.
It is not a target marketat this exact moment
but it easilycan be a targeted market in the future.
So we're talking about natural gasdistribution, right?
Very good. Yeah.
So and so be on the lookout. Dave.
So Americans 61 productmay be coming in the in the near future.
Let's see here what do we haveJeremy asked Current challenge
we're facing is fitting air barrelson top of buried pipes with required
spacing incorporating shorterair valve standpipe would be useful.
I mean, it sounds like a cut.
Maybe a potential.
Just say.
Yeah, well, Jeremy might be asking usanother another product needs.
So Jeremy
I think we're going to will engagewith you outside of the meeting
and learn a little bit moreabout what you're asking.
But great. I mean idea.
We like to listen, we like to talk to youand see where we can take it.
Absolutely.
So now there's Michael's jumping in here.
Go ahead.
I know that guy wins the day right there.
So my question of Doug, maximumpipe size for molded, reducing times.
I assume that he means the main.
Yeah, the main the main is going to be 24inch currently 24 by 12,
the largest main outlet combo working onother additional sizes in the future.
Yep. Fantastic.
Fantastic.
Well, thank you everybody.
Thanks for answering the poll question.
And we
if you're on here in your meeting,see use today.
Please take a moment.
Scan this barcodethat you see in front of you.
This will get that informationsent over to us
and we will get you thethe queue records for
for you to share.
So I'll leave that up for just a minutefor everybody to do.
Grab a snapshot of that.
And if,if you missed it or you didn't get it,
just please reach out to usat the disco desk, Time.com backslash.
See you and we can still get them for you.
So no worries on the on the barcode.
Otherwise you want to connect with us.
My goodness.
All of them, right?
All of them.
I don't.
Yeah, some of these I don't even knowabout their ways to connect with us.
We had to explain what that meant to youearlier.
Well, that'snot the acts that I see on my phone.
When I'm clear enough of that.
I know I was still looking for the thebird, the little bird, little blue bird.
So keep changing things on me.
But yeah, please check those outif you're prone to one or the other.
You know, you've got multiple waysto to get in touch with us.
And with that,
you know, I don't see any other questionsin the, in the box.
So yeah, I just want to stress
the email address of the insightsthat it's going to isco-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
I want to push that because we've gotten really, really good
at answering all these questions before, during  and after, Right?
Yeah.
And then, you know,even if you've got a question
that comes up in the next week or two,don't
don't hesitate to send it inside to thisgo dash five dot com.
We will answer that question.Yeah, we'll get it.
We'll get to you.
Michael wanted you to go back to the Cyou slide Garry
so you can probably take a picture.
Okay. Therewe go. Yeah, I saw that come across.
But anyway,
Andy Jimmy, thanks again for joining me.
It's always a pleasureto have you guys in studio with me.
Jeremy and Brett, appreciate you guys.
FIELDING all those questions coming in.
I saw you guys were typing away.
I think I see a little smoke coming offyour off your laptops there,
but I can't do it.
Couldn't do this without you guys.
So thanks again for joining me in hereand appreciate all of you today.
Thank you for joining us hereon ISCO Insights.
Hope you found it beneficial.
Got some information out of it.
And again, if more questions come up lateron, please reach out to us
and we will get back with you in touchand get you answered
and get you taken care of.
So with that,we're going to sign off for now.
