1、Designation: C 1478 07Standard Specification forStorm Drain Resilient Connectors Between ReinforcedConcrete Storm Sewer Structures, Pipes, and Laterals1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 1478; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption
2、or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers the minimum performance andmaterial requirements f
3、or resilient connectors used for connec-tions between precast reinforced concrete storm sewer struc-tures conforming to Specification C 478 and pipes, and be-tween precast reinforced concrete pipe and laterals for stormdrainage systems.1.1.1 These connectors are designed to prevent soil migra-tion b
4、etween the pipe and storm sewer structure, and betweenthe pipe and lateral.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are for informa-tion only.NOTE 1This specification covers the design, material, and perfor-mance of the resilient connec
5、tion only. Connections covered by thisspecification are adequate for hydrostatic pressures up to 6 psi (14 ft)without leakage when tested in accordance with Section 7. Infiltrationquantities for an installed system are dependent upon many factors otherthan the connections between storm sewer structu
6、res and pipe, andallowable quantities must be covered by other specifications and suitabletesting of the installed pipeline and system.1.3 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest methods portion, Section 7, of this specification: Thisstandard does not purport to address all of th
7、e safety concerns,if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the userof this standard to establish appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use.

16、3.2.3 pipethe inlet or outlet pipe connected to the man-hole.3.2.4 pipe stuba short section of pipe installed in thestructure as an inlet or outlet pipe, for future connection.4. Materials and Manufacture4.1 All materials shall conform to the following require-ments:4.1.1 Resilient materials for con
17、nectors and filler rings shallbe manufactured from natural or synthetic rubber and shallconform to the requirements prescribed in Table 1. If a spliceis used in the manufacture of the seal, its strength shall be suchthat the seal shall withstand a 180 bend with no visibleseparation.4.2 Mechanical De
18、vicesExpansion rings, tension bands,and take-up devices used for mechanically compressing theresilient portion of the connector against the pipe or stormsewer structure shall be made from a material or materials incombination that will ensure durability, strength, resistance tocorrosion, and have pr
19、operties that will ensure continuedresistance to leakage. All metallic mechanical devices, includ-ing castings and bolt assemblies used to mechanically deformresilient materials, shall be constructed of corrosion resistantmaterials meeting the physical properties and chemical com-position requiremen
20、ts of Specification A 493 and A 666, Type302 through Type 316.NOTE 3Experience has shown that successful performance of thisproduct depends on the type of bedding and backfill and the care in thefield installation of the manhole storm sewer structure and connectingpipes. The owner is cautioned to re
21、quire 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 storm sewer structure wall and (2) between theconnector and the pipe. The seal between the connector a
22、nd thestorm sewer structure wall may be made by either mechanicalmeans, compression of the resilient material between theoutside surface of the pipe and the pipe opening in the stormsewer structure wall, or by casting the connector integrallywith the storm sewer structure wall. The seal between thec
23、onnector and the pipe may be made by mechanical means orby compression of the resilient material against the outside ofthe pipe. Resilient filler rings may be used between the pipeand the connector to provide a seal. Whichever design is used,it shall be capable of maintaining a resilient, hydrostati
24、c sealunder the performance conditions in accordance with Section7. Devices used to effect mechanical seals shall conform to therequirements 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)
25、 between the connector and the pipe wall and (2)between the connector and the lateral. The seal between theconnector and the pipe wall may be made by either mechanicalmeans, compression, or by casting the connector integrallywith the pipe wall. The seal between the connector and thelateral may be ma
26、de by either mechanical means or bycompression of the resilient material against the outside of thepipe. Resilient filler rings may be used between the lateral andthe connector to provide a seal. Connector design must notallow either lateral or connector to extend past the cylindricalplane of the pi
27、pe inside diameter. The connector shall becapable of maintaining a resilient hydrostatic seal under theperformance conditions in accordance with Section 7. Devicesused to effect mechanical seals shall conform to the require-ments specified in Section 4.5.3 Pipe StubsOwners shall require that all pip
28、e stubsinstalled to allow for future connections to storm sewerstructures be mechanically restrained from movement bymeans other than, and in addition to, the resilient connectors.6. Basis of Acceptance6.1 For diameter 36 in. and smaller, at least one connectorshall be tested for each 6 in. incremen
29、t in diameter. Fordiameters larger than 36 in., at least one connector shall betested for each 12 in. 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 inspecti
