CPP SMOOTH-CORE Double Walled pipes with a corrugated exterior wall, and a smooth interior wall has the Drilled round hole type of perforation in sizes 4″ to 48″. Drilled holes allow for more Inlet Area in the pipe’s surface while not jeopardizing a pipe’s loadbearing strength that is often needed. Holes are evenly spaced at 45 degree angles around the circumference of the pipe on sizes 4″ – 36″. Holes are spaced evenly at 36 degree angles around the circumference of the pipe on sizes 42″ and 48″.
