20、efield installation of the manhole and connecting pipes. The owner iscautioned to require inspection at the construction site.5. Principles of Design5.1 The design of the connector shall be such that positiveseal is accomplished at two locations: (1) between the connec-tor and the wall of the manhol

21、e or wastewater structure and (2)between the connector and the pipe. The seal between theconnector and the wall of the manhole or wastewater structureshall be made by either mechanical means, compression of theresilient material between the outside surface of the pipe andthe pipe opening in the wall

22、 of the manhole or wastewaterstructure, or by casting the connector integrally with the wall ofthe manhole or wastewater structure. The seal between theconnector and the pipe shall be made by mechanical means orby compression of the resilient material against the outside ofthe pipe. Resilient filler

23、 rings are not prohibited from beingused between the pipe and the connector to provide a seal.Whichever design is used, it shall be capable of maintaining aresilient, hydrostatic seal under the performance conditions inaccordance with Section 7. Devices used to effect mechanicalseals shall conform t

24、o the requirements specified in Section 4.5.2 For lateral to pipe connectors, the design of the connec-tor shall be such that a positive seal is accomplished at twolocations: (1) between the connector and the pipe wall and (2)between the connector and the lateral. The seal between theconnector and t

25、he pipe wall shall be made by either mechanicalmeans, compression, or by casting the connector integrallywith the pipe wall. The seal between the connector and thelateral shall be made by either mechanical means or bycompression of the resilient material against the outside of thepipe. Resilient fil

26、ler rings are not prohibited from being usedbetween the lateral and the connector to provide a seal.Connector design must not allow either lateral or connector toextend past the cylindrical plane of the pipe inside diameter.The connector shall be capable of maintaining a resilienthydrostatic seal un

27、der the performance conditions in accor-dance with Section 7. Devices used to effect mechanical sealsshall conform to the requirements specified in Section 4.5.3 Pipe StubsOwners shall require that all pipe stubsinstalled, to allow for future connections to manhole structures,be mechanically restrai

Basis of Acceptance6.1 For diameter 914 mm and smaller, at least one connectorshall be tested for each 152 mm increment in diameter. Fordiameters larger than 914 mm, at least one connector shall betested for each 3

29、04 mm increment in diameter.6.2 The acceptability of the resilient connector shall bedetermined by the results of the physical tests prescribed in thisspecification, if and where required, and by inspection, toTABLE 1 Resilient Material TestsTest Test RequirementsAASTM Test MethodChemical resistance
