Atomatic Mechanical Services, Inc. and J.C. Cannistraro both rely on SureThread™ pipe from Wheatland Tube to keep their costs down. Cannistraro Fabrication Manager Billy Gardner said, “SureThread is the only brand we use for fabrication. It creates less wear on our tools, which saves us money.” Nick LaMonto, piping superintendent at Atomatic, added, “We’re threading every day. We can’t afford inferior pipe.”
The only domestically manufactured continuous weld standard pipe on the market, SureThread has a uniform grain pattern and smooth weld seam that makes it stronger and more ductile than electric resistance weld pipe. That makes grooving, threading, cutting and bending easier, with substantially less wear on tools and less rework required on the job.
SureThread ASTM A53, Type F, is now Grade B certified, which means it can be used in a wider range of applications, including small-diameter (less than 2”), low-pressure applications, making it a more cost-effective and readily available option than seamless pipe. SureThread comes with a exterior protective coating, Ultra Z-Coat™, that makes pipes more corrosion- and scratch-resistant, protecting them against the elements when stored in an outdoor distribution yard or jobsite. The coating has no volatile organic compounds and is produced with no hazardous air pollutants, making it more environmentally friendly than other options.
