{"product_id":"s4c-half-inch-minus","title":"S4C (1\/2 Inch Minus) Pipe Bedding Rock","description":"\u003cp\u003eS4C is 1\/2 inch rock graded down to fines, a fine, evenly blended material designed to compact in controlled layers. Its defining use is as a pipe cushion, or bedding, for metal and PVC lines. The fine, uniform texture lets it surround the pipe completely and support it evenly along its length, which protects the line from point loads and from the stress of settling backfill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo work as intended, S4C is placed in lifts and compacted both beneath and around the pipe so there are no voids. That even support is what keeps a buried line from cracking or deforming over time. Because it is fine and compactable rather than free-draining, it is a bedding material first and is not meant for places where water needs to move through the layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePipe bedding is one of the areas where building codes are updated often, and the approved material can differ by pipe type and by jurisdiction. Always confirm current local building codes before you specify S4C for a given line, and check whether the pipe you are installing calls for a different cushion. Used in the right application, it gives a clean, compactable bed that supports the pipe evenly from below and around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:20px;\"\u003eCommon uses:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePipe bedding for metal and PVC lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompacted cushion layers under utilities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine fill in tight or shallow areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEven support beneath and around buried pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeveling under shallow installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;\"\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch rock graded down to fines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompacts in layers for even pipe support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA bedding material, not a drainage rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfirm current local codes before specifying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn stock now.
