★ The Method

How The Pipe Force Method
Works.

A controlled trenchless process for residential water service replacement.

The goal is not to overpower the jobsite. The goal is to control the pull.

★ Old Way vs. Pipe Force

Same problem.
Better process.

✗ Traditional Replacement

Open The Ground To Reach The Line

Traditional replacement usually means opening the ground to access the line. That can require cutting through yards, landscaping, sidewalks, driveways, irrigation systems, and finished property.

The waterline may get replaced, but the job often leaves restoration work behind.

✓ The Pipe Force Method

Use The Pipe Path To Protect The Property

The Pipe Force Method uses the existing service route as the path for replacement whenever site conditions allow.

Instead of opening a continuous trench, the system is designed around primary access points, pipe conditioning, controlled scoring, expansion, compaction, mechanical connection, and controlled pulling.

Traditional trenching moves the property to reach the pipe.
Pipe Force uses the pipe path to protect the property.

★ The Process

Condition. Score. Expand.
Compact. Connect. Pull.

01
PF-12 set up at the access point

Access

The contractor establishes the proper access points and confirms the pull route. Pipe Force is designed around two primary access points instead of a continuous open trench.

02
Prep Glide conditions the host pipe

Condition

Prep Glide™ is introduced into the host pipe to condition the interior surface and help reduce resistance before the pull begins.

03
SR-91 scoring head on the cable

Score

The SR-91™ Scoring Head creates controlled scoring action inside the existing line.

04
SR-71 expanding and compacting the path

Expand & Compact

The SR-71™ Expansion & Compaction Wedge follows behind, expanding the host path, compacting displaced material and surrounding soil, and helping guide the new water service line.

05
Cable Grip connecting cable to replacement waterline

Connect

The Cable Grip™ mechanically attaches the 3/8" aircraft cable to the replacement waterline through a compression-style wedge connection and 3/4" threaded tie-on point.

06
PF-12 winch pulling the new line

Pull

ForceCore™ delivers slow, steady, controlled pulling force through the PF-12.

07
New waterline in place

Connect

Once the new line is in place, the system is disconnected, components are inspected, and the new water service line is mechanically connected to the customer’s plumbing.

08
Force the Duck shaking hands with a happy customer

Finish

Water line replacement is complete. Customer is happy. On to the next job.

★ Approved Host Pipe Materials

Designed for the materials
plumbers actually replace.

★ Copper Service

Copper Materials

  • Soft copper
  • Hard copper

★ Plastic Service

Plastic Water Service Materials

  • PEX-A
  • PEX-B
  • PVC
  • Poly / polyethylene-style water service piping

The system is intended for typical residential water service sizes — primarily 3/4” and 1” service lines — depending on field conditions, pipe condition, soil conditions, and the pull path.

★ Field Conditions Still Matter

Pipe Force is a professional trenchless replacement system, not a blind-force pulling method. Existing buried fittings, valves, repair couplings, irrigation tees, severe offsets, unknown transitions, or unusual changes in direction may require exposing the line, performing a spot dig, or modifying the pull plan.

The Pipe Force Method is designed to help plumbers reduce excavation — not ignore real-world jobsite conditions.

★ Why Control Matters

Not brute force.
Controlled force.

★ The Principle

Resistance is expected. Uncontrolled resistance is the problem.

Pipe Force is built around preparation, alignment, controlled pulling, and purpose-built components that work progressively through the host path.

★ How The Method Wins

The SR-91 scores.
The SR-71 expands, compacts, and guides.
ForceCore™ pulls at the pace the SR-Series was designed to work.

The system does not win by yanking harder.
It wins by pulling smarter.
