Sims Plastics

Sims Plastics is a family-owned supplier of plastic materials, parts and supplies for septic systems, water storage and irrigation, in business since 1979. The company stocks pipe, fittings, panels, tanks and pumps at retail showrooms in Midland, Odessa and Waco, Texas, and also sells online and over the phone. Stated customer base spans oilfield, residential, commercial, government, wholesale and retail buyers in those three cities and across the Permian Basin.

The company describes its inventory as deep and specialized, extending to hard to find items alongside standard stock. Some pipe is handled as special order rather than shelf stock. The site states that trucks deliver within a 20 mile radius of the store, with shipping also available through local hotshots and freight carriers.

Tanks, septic and drainage

Water storage and septic tanks are a core line, including Norwesco horizontal leg tanks and vertical white storage tanks. Low profile septic tanks are listed at 500 gallons non-plumbed and at 1,000, 1,250 and 1,500 gallons plumbed, with the 1,250 gallon tank described as UV stabilized and fitted with inlet and outlet ports. Septic chambers come from the Advanced Drainage Systems ARC 36 line, in standard and high capacity panels, which use a modular design that can be configured to the site.

Pipe and PVC

Pipe is a core line and is sold as a joint. The schedules and size ranges listed on the site are:

Connectors, fittings and valves round out the PVC side, including electric valves, globe and angle valves, valve scrubbers and pressure compensating bubblers. Weld-On 725 Wet R Dry low VOC solvent cement is carried for PVC plastic pipe, in container sizes from quarter pint to gallon. Split pipe insulation runs from 1/2 inch through 4 inch, with foil pipe insulation and Frost King heat tape stocked alongside it.

Pumps and irrigation

On the pump side the company lists the Grundfos SCALA booster pump at 3/4 HP and 115V for water well systems, and the A.Y. McDonald 6622-039 stainless steel submersible pump for chemical transfer, described on the site as suited to corrosive fluids in industrial and oil and gas settings.
