Choose the right HDPE products supplier
Due to our 40 years in the HDPE products business, we offer a complete line of both product fusion and rental services. In fact, we handle any HDPE pipe and fitting requirement.
Your trusted source for quality HDPE products from approved manufacturers.
HDPE products are long-lasting as well as sustainable solutions for a broad range of piping solutions such as those in industrial, marine, mining, landfill, and agricultural applications. When fused properly, HDPE pipe systems are both leak-free and also typically require less time and labor for installation in comparison to systems made from other materials. Accordingly, we combine our expansive inventory of HDPE products coupled with a range of specialty fabrication and HDPE fusion services.
Equally important, our value engineering solutions and capabilities reduce overall project costs and also increase site productivity.
Furthermore, we have strategically located equipment, field technicians, and facilities throughout the United States. As a result, we ensure our ability to supply pipes, fittings, and equipment quickly, regardless of your location.

Quality Assurance
Our HDPE Quality Process consists of several layers in order to meet our customer’s product requirements.
Inspection
All pipes and fittings are inspected multiple times throughout the fabrication process. Our process includes inspection of the heat fusion process reports, wall thickness, manufactured angles, and cosmetic issues. As a result, we ensure all the finished products meet specifications.
Traceability
A unique serial number is heat-stamped on all fittings so that it has full traceability. Furthermore, every fitting has a quality record in order to prove it was inspected and thus meets all standards.
Data-Logging
A standard procedure is used for all fabricated fittings and specialty products in order to record all the critical data points during the fusing process.

HDPE Barge for Lake Oswego Corporation
Ferguson Industrial was selected to be the HDPE products supplier for Lake Oswego Corporation. As the selected supplier, we provided technical support during planning as well as identified the required products to complete the project. In addition, Ferguson Industrial manufactured a barge using HDPE (high-density polyethylene) materials and a galvanized steel frame. The newly fabricated 384-square-foot barge carries up to 39,000 pounds of material subsequently providing Lake Oswego Corporation with a durable, low-cost, and environmentally friendly barge that is expected to provide many years of service.
Lake Oswego Project
Check out this great video featuring Ferguson Industrial fusion welding the HDPE pipe on the City of Lake Oswego Oregon project.
Manhattan Relining Project
It’s midnight on a Saturday night in downtown Manhattan… Do you know where your fusion technicians are? In spite of the weekend, Ferguson Industrial plastics technicians are hard at work fusion welding this 48″ HDPE pipe together in order to finish a relining project. In order to prevent disrupting the heavy traffic in the area, this project is done on weekend nights.
Pittsburg Waterline Expansion
Ferguson Waterworks in Pittsburg recently carried out an expansion to an existing waterline. To explain, we both prefabricated parts and provided fusion services. Furthermore, this Tee section was installed using electrofusion couplings. Ferguson Industrial Plastics Regional Sales Manager, Lawrence Norris, supervised during the installation.
Arizona Mining Site Project
Markedly, these large HDPE fabrications are part of a massive project for a mining site in Arizona. The pieces make up an SXEW (Solvent Extraction Electro-Wining) assembly used in the mining process. This project was very complex both in design and procedure. In fact, Ferguson Industrial Plastics performed two different testing procedures. The tests needed to be performed on all welds (TOFD or ultrasonic and Hydrostatic).
San Francisco Aquarium Project
Look down at the maze of HDPE pipe and fittings during the assembly for the new San Francisco Aquarium. This project located at the Golden Gate park site will eventually replace the old aquarium. The new site will include both coral reef and tropical rainforest areas. All the underground piping on this site is made from HDPE materials.
Orlando Fabrication
Ferguson’s HDPE branch in Lakeland Florida manufactures a large variety of fabricated polyethylene products. The pictures shown here are of an end cap to a heat exchanger that was fabricated from HDPE for FP&L in Orlando. The customer was having problems with their steel fabrications corroding due to the saltwater environment. Ferguson associates are committed to solving corrosion issues in power plants around the country.
Wareham, Massachusetts Pipe Installation
Bridge crossings make for an easy installation with HDPE pipe. On this project in Wareham Massachusetts, a 300-foot run was installed with 3″ of insulation and a poly jacket. In addition, the pressure pipe was butt fusion welded with a McElroy machine, Furthermore, the jacket was extrusion welded in place. The flanged ends were installed using an electrofusion coupling because of tight space constraints. As illustrated, Ferguson Industrial Plastics has certified technicians available to do installations using all three methods for welding HDPE pipes.
Hewitt Avenue Sewer Project
The Hewitt Avenue Sewer project in Everett Washington was indeed designed entirely in HDPE material. Furthermore, the pipe and manholes were built as a welded and sealed system in order to eliminate any infiltration, leakage, or root intrusion. As a result, Hewitt Avenue is now a beautifully landscaped street in the center of the city with large trees and artistic walkways. Subsequently, the sewer system had to be engineered to ensure that tree roots could not intrude into the pipe. In conclusion, a fusion-welded HDPE system was the smart choice.
Puyallup, Washington Pump Station Manhole
These photos are of a pump station manhole being delivered to a construction site in Puyallup, Washington. In detail, this particular manhole is 8 feet in diameter and over 30 feet tall. The manholes are made from Spirolite HDPE material and are complete with ladders, internal piping, and platforms inside.
HDPE Pump Station Manhole
These are photos of the inside of an HDPE pump station manhole. As you can see in the pictures we supply the structures with both platforms and ladders as well as the brackets to hold the pumps and piping.
South Florida Directional Bore Job
This is a directional bore job in a South Florida water main. Ricky Ward was the tech. In fact, McElroy wrote an article on this job to showcase the project’s success.
Designed for Abrasive Application
The FNW figure 160 O-Port Style HDPE Body Valve was designed to meet the requirements of systems utilizing HDPE materials in order to achieve high abrasion resistance. In fact, the entire main body of the valve is composed of HDPE material. Due to its unique construction, it allows the gate to be totally surrounded by the body material. Furthermore, this feature provides a valve with no chest cavity. This is important because chest cavities entrap material and then cause premature valve failure.
The basic design provides full flow passage, availability of different grades of HDPE material to fit the application, end connections to meet face-to-face requirements, and the high abrasion-resistant characteristics of HDPE. To clarify, it is designed for mine tailings systems where a high percentage of solids and abrasion are present.
Stocked in 150# ANSI flanged ends.
Special order: Also available in Victaulic or plain fusion ends.
