GRE Pipe System Installation Guide

This 3 sentence summary provides the key information from the WAVISTRONG Installation Guide document: GRE pipe behaves differently than steel due to its low weight, flexible joints, and elastic material properties. The document provides instructions for installing, testing, and repairing GRE pipe systems to ensure proper performance while avoiding risks of injury from failures. Tests should use water as the medium and repairs involve replacing defective parts or the entire system according to the manufacturer's documentation.
