A GI Riser Pipe refers to a Galvanized Iron (GI) pipe used as a vertical section of pipeline to carry water upward from an underground or ground-level source to a higher point — often in borewell systems, irrigation, plumbing, or fire-fighting applications.
Key Features:
Material:
- Made of Galvanized Iron (GI), which is iron or steel coated with zinc to prevent rust and corrosion.
Design:
- Threaded ends for easy joining with couplers or fittings
- Available in standard lengths (typically 3m or 6m per pipe)
- Varying diameters – commonly 1", 1.25", 1.5", 2", or 3"
Strength:
- Suitable for high-pressure water systems
Provides rigid vertical support for deep or multi-level pipe installations
- Borewell/Submersible pump installations – to lift water from deep sources
- Drip and sprinkler irrigation systems – as mainline risers
- Overhead water tank connections
- Fire-fighting systems
- Industrial vertical water lines
- Corrosion-resistant due to zinc coating
- Long life and durable under outdoor and underground conditions
- High-pressure capacity
- Easy to install and replace due to standard threading
