Tyler Pipe

Tyler Pipe was established in 1935 and has manufactured cast iron soil pipe and fittings for drain, waste, and vent systems ever since. The company's foundry operates in Tyler, Texas, with a coupling and gasket manufacturing facility in Marshfield, Missouri, and distribution centers in City of Industry, California, and New Jersey.

Tyler Pipe is owned by McWane Inc., a privately held family company based in Birmingham, Alabama.

Product Lines

Tyler Pipe's core product is cast iron soil pipe, offered in both hub and spigot and no-hub configurations, along with the no-hub couplings and gaskets used to join them. The DuRa Pipe Epoxy product line and Ty-Seal compression gaskets round out the catalog.

Tyler Pipe has built on decades of manufacturing milestones, including the 1959 introduction of the first 10-foot cast iron soil pipe length, the 1964 start of no-hub pipe and fittings production, and the 1986 launch of its own no-hub coupling and gasket manufacturing.

Why Contractors Specify Tyler Pipe

Plumbing contractors working on DWV systems specify Tyler Pipe cast iron because the material meets or exceeds ASTM requirements and has a long track record in the field, backed by a company that has produced soil pipe since 1935.

Cast iron's inherent sound-dampening qualities make it a common choice for multi-family and commercial buildings where noise transmission through drain lines is a concern. The pipe is manufactured from more than 95 percent post-consumer scrap metal and can be recycled again at the end of its service life, a point contractors can raise on jobs with sustainability requirements.

How to Choose Tyler Pipe Products

Joint type is the first decision: hub and spigot pipe suits traditional lead and oakum or compression gasket joints, while no-hub pipe and fittings paired with no-hub couplings are typically faster to install on retrofit and renovation work. Ty-Seal compression gaskets are matched to hub and spigot joints and should be sized to the pipe diameter being installed.

Projects requiring chemical resistance in the drain line, such as those handling corrosive waste, should look to the DuRa Pipe Epoxy coated products rather than standard cast iron. Confirming local plumbing code requirements for cast iron versus other DWV materials before ordering helps avoid mismatched specifications on inspection.
