If awater pipe must pass through such a contaminated area or an area subject tocontamination, consult with the manufacturer regarding permeation of pipe walls,jointing materials, etc., before selecting material

Fittings, valves, air vents, and hydrants shall be installed at the requiredlocations with joints centered, spigots home, and valve and hydrant stems plumb. Nodev

20、 of TrenchThe trench shall be excavated to the required alignment and depth shown onthe purchasers drawings or as subsequently required in writing by the purchaser, andonly so far in advance of pipe laying as permitted by the purchaser.4.4.1 Excavation methods. When necessary to prevent caving, tren
21、ch excava-tions shall be sheeted and braced or sloped according to applicable laws andordinances. When sheeting and bracing are used, the trench width shall not be lessthan that specified in Sec. 4.4.2. As backfill is placed and sheeting is withdrawn, thesheeting shall be withdrawn vertically in inc
22、rements of not more than 1 ft (0.3 m),and the void left by the withdrawn sheeting shall be filled and compacted before thenext increment is withdrawn. Excavated material shall be piled in a manner that willnot endanger the work or obstruct sidewalks and driveways. Gutters shall be keptclear or other
23、 provisions made for surface drainage.4.4.2 Trench width. The trench width shall be ample to permit the pipe tobe laid and jointed properly and the backfill to be placed and compacted as specifiedby the purchaser. Trenches shall be of such extra width, when required, to permit theconvenient placing
24、of timber supports and sheeting and bracing, as well as thehandling of specials.4.4.3 Trench preparation. The trench shall be prepared for the directplacement of the pipe. This preparation includes digging coupling holes in the trenchbottom or bedding. (Illustrations of the various bedding condition
25、s are presented inANSI/AWWA C401 and ANSI/AWWA C403.)4.4.4 Excavation in poor soil and refilling to grade. Any part of the trenchexcavated below grade shall be backfilled to grade with thoroughly compactedmaterial acceptable to the purchaser. When an unstable subgrade condition isencountered and, in
26、 the opinion of the purchaser, it cannot support the pipe, anadditional depth shall be excavated and refilled to pipe foundation grade withcrushed stone or other suitable material as required by the purchaser to achieve asatisfactory trench bottom.4.4.5 Pipe laid on trench bottom or bedding. Before
27、the pipe is lowered intothe trench, the constructor shall1. Excavate a coupling hole having sufficient length, width, and depth topermit assembly and provide a minimum clearance of 2 in. (50 mm) below thecoupling.2. Provide the pipe with continuous support between coupling holes.Copyright American W

29、g the trench bottom for pipe installation.Sec. 4.5 Laying of Pipe4.5.1 Lowering of pipe and accessories into trench. Pipe shall not be loweredinto the trench until the pipe bedding material has been brought to grade. Pipe andaccessories shall be inspected for defects. Dirt and other foreign matter s
30、hall beremoved from the interior and the machined ends of the pipe before it is loweredinto the trench. Pipe and accessories shall be lowered carefully into the trench byhand or with suitable equipment in a manner that will prevent damage to pipe andfittings or injury to the installers. The sealing
31、surfaces of all materials shall be keptclean during installation.4.5.2 Pipe joints. The machined ends of pipe to be jointed, couplinggrooves, and rubber rings shall be cleaned immediately before assembly, and assemblyshall be made as recommended by the manufacturer. CAUTION: Do not reverse thegasket
32、 when placing it in the coupling. Each pipe joint shall be sealed with a couplingconsisting of an asbestoscement sleeve and two rubber rings or an equivalentcoupling or joint of equivalent strength and performance. The pipe joint shall not bedeflected either vertically or horizontally beyond the lim
33、its recommended by themanufacturer.4.5.2.1 When pipe laying is not in progress, the open ends of installed pipeshall be closed to prevent the entrance of water into the line.4.5.2.2 Whenever water is in the pipe trench, enough backfill shall be placedon the pipe to prevent it from floating. Any pipe
34、 that has floated shall be removedfrom the trench and the bedding shall be corrected to conform to Sec. 4.4.3. No pipeshall be laid when the weather is unsuitable for proper installation, as determined bythe purchaser.4.5.3 Closure system. Closure lengths and closure couplings should be usedfor tyin
35、g in asbestoscement pipe. Closure lengths and closure couplings can spanclosure distances up to 13 ft (3.96 m) without any field cutting. They eliminate anypossible airborne asbestos fiber exposure, which may result from the field cutting ofpipe.4.5.4 Pipe cutting. Since the introduction of the clos
36、ure system, pipe cuttingis no longer required in the field. If pipe cutting is performed, methods that produce asmooth square-cut end, without damage to the pipe, and that do not produce airborneCopyright American Water Works Association Provided by IHS under license with AWWANot for ResaleNo reprod

Abrasive discs are prohibited unless they are equipped withlocal exhaust ventilation and a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter dustcollection system.4.5.5 End preparation. Whenever it is
38、 necessary to cut a length of pipe in thefield, the end shall be prepared as follows:4.5.5.1 The pipe end of random lengths shall be machined by commerciallyavailable field lathes designed to ensure that the diameter, profile, and roundnessmeet the pipe manufacturers specifications. The machined sur
39、face on which thecompression ring seals shall be smooth and cylindrical to ensure joint integrity.4.5.5.2 The pipe end of machined overall lengths shall be beveled accordingto the pipe manufacturers specifications.4.5.6 Length of pipe at fittings and rigid structures. Where rigid joints areformed by
40、 caulked materials or by bolts with rubber-ring seals, such as at fittings, thelength of 8-in. (200-mm) diameter and smaller pipe fitted into the bell of the fittingsshall not exceed 3 ft 3 in. (1 m); the length of 10-in. (250-mm) diameter and largerpipe shall not exceed 6 ft 6 in. (2 m). At least o
41、ne flexible joint shall be used betweentwo adjacent rigid joints. A coupling shall be cast in the wall of rigid structures at thepoint of entry of pipelines to provide flexibility at the wall. To provide additionalflexibility, the pipe at the point of entry shall have a laying length of not more tha
42、n6 ft 6 in. (2 m).Sec. 4.6 Jointing of Pipe to Valves, Hydrants, and Fittings4.6.1 General. Each valve, hydrant, or fitting connected to asbestoscementpipe shall have a profile that permits a seal to be made between the machined pipeand the bell of the fitting with a continuous rubber-ring gasket.4.
43、6.1.1 Before valves, hydrants, or fittings are laid, all lumps, blisters, andexcess coating shall be removed from the bell. The inside of the bell shall then bewire-brushed, and both the inside of the bell and the spigot end of the pipe shall bewiped clean and dry. Surfaces to be jointed shall be ke
44、pt clean until the joints aremade.4.6.2 Push-on joint. The push-on joint is a single rubber-gasket joint. It shallbe assembled by positioning a continuous rubber-ring gasket in the annular groove ofthe fitting bell and pulling the machined pipe end into the bell. A lubricantacceptable to the pipe ma
45、nufacturer must be used. The correct size of gasket for thefitting bell shall be used with the correct size of asbestoscement pipe.Copyright American Water Works Association Provided by IHS under license with AWWANot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-INST
