What National Pipe & Plastics does

National Pipe & Plastics, Inc. is a U.S. manufacturer of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe established in 1970 and headquartered in Endicott, New York. Since October 2021 it has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oldcastle Infrastructure, which is itself a subsidiary of CRH plc. The company runs two manufacturing facilities (Endicott, NY and Colfax/Greensboro, NC) and produces pipe from 1/4 inch to 48 inch diameter across four categories: water (DURA-BLUE C900 per AWWA C900-16 and DURA-FLOW SDR per ASTM D2241), sewer/wastewater (ASTM D3034, ASTM F679, and C900 force main), electrical and telecommunications conduit (WIRE-GARD Schedule 40/80 per UL 651 and ANSI/NEMA TC-2, plus DUCT-WAY, TELE-DUCT, and COMM-DUCT), and plumbing (PLUMB-RITE Schedule 40/80 per ASTM D1785 and D2665). All products are made from rigid PVC compound meeting ASTM D1784 Cell Classification 12454, and many carry NSF 14/61 potable water certification.

The company sells through a sales representative network, authorized distributors and retailers, and direct engagement with municipal/government utilities, primarily serving markets east of the Mississippi River with selected Canadian and export activity. Customers include municipal water and sewer utilities, electrical contractors, plumbing contractors, agricultural operators, and international buyers. Pricing is quote-based, not publicly disclosed, and typically attached to multi-year municipal and contractor framework agreements. Compliance with AWWA, ASTM, UL, FM, CSA, NEMA, and NSF standards functions as the primary technical and commercial credential, embedding NPP in municipal bid documents and engineer specifications. Co-location with Oldcastle Infrastructure's broader utility product portfolio enables bundled jobsite solutions and cross-sell rather than standalone pipe sales.
