Durant Insulated Pipe was a piping system made "exclusively for outdoor and underground use," listed by Keene in a 1990 EPA notice that published what the company reported.1 The notice names Durant as the maker and says it was produced from 1938 to 1945.1 It describes the product as metal piping insulated with 85% magnesia, then protected with a thick layer of a special high melting point asphalt cast inside a heavy sheet metal jacket.1
An insurance company's 1981 list of asbestos products, compiled from other companies' answers in lawsuits, lists Durant under Keene/Ehret as insulated pipe, with no years.2
