Les tuyaux en grès vernissé s'obtiennent par étirage à la filière et cuisson d'une pâte bien corroyée d'argiles sélectionnées. La cuisson est poussée jusqu'à la vitrification, soit à température voisine de 1 300 °. Il en résulte un produit imperméable à l'eau et qui résiste parfaitement aux acides. Les produits en grès doivent leur aspect brillant à la mince couche de verre qui les recouvre; elle se forme à la fin de la cuisson, après introduction dans le four de sel de cuisine. Du point de vue utilitaire, ce vernis, supprimant la rugosité, facilite l'écoulement de l'eau. 1, record 3, French, - tuyau%20en%20gr%C3%A8s%20verniss%C3%A9
