1、Designation: C 1478M 07METRICStandard Specification forStorm Drain Resilient Connectors Between ReinforcedConcrete Storm Sewer Structures, Pipes, and LateralsMetric1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 1478M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforig
2、inal adoption 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
3、requirements for 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 soi
4、l migra-tion between the pipe and storm sewer structure, and betweenthe pipe and lateral.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly. This specification is the Metric counterpart of Specifica-tion C 1478.NOTE 1This specific
5、ation covers the design, material, and perfor-mance of the resilient connection only. Connections covered by thisspecification are adequate for hydrostatic pressures up to 41 kPa (4.3 m)without leakage when tested in accordance with Section 7. Infiltrationquantities for an installed system are depen
6、dent upon many factors otherthan the connections between storm sewer structures and pipe, andallowable quantities must be covered by other specifications and suitabletesting of the installed pipeline and system.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associat
7、ed with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory requirements prior to use.

Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 Terms relating to plastics and rubber shall be asdefined in Terminologies D 883 and D 1566, respectively.3.1.2 Terms relating to precast concrete pipe, manholes, andrelated products shall
15、be as defined in Terminology C 822.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 connectorthe entire assembly, including resilientseals and metallic or nonmetallic mechanical devices, if any,used therein.3.2.2 lateralthe small diameter pipe connected to themain line pipe.3.2.3 pipethe inl
16、et 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 connectors and fille
17、r 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 DevicesExpansion ri
18、ngs, 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 properties that wil
19、l 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 requirements of Specificati
20、ons 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 require inspection
21、 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 and thestorm sewe
22、r structure wall shall 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 theconnector and t
23、he pipe shall be made by mechanical means orby compression of the resilient material against the outside ofthe pipe. Resilient filler 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,
24、hydrostatic seal under the performance conditions inaccordance with Section 7. Devices used to effect mechanicalseals shall conform to 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 twoloc
25、ations: (1) between the connector and the pipe wall and (2)between the connector and the lateral. The seal between theconnector and the pipe wall shall be made by either mechanicalmeans, compression, or by casting the connector integrallywith the pipe wall. The seal between the connector and thelate
26、ral shall be made by either mechanical means or bycompression of the resilient material against the outside of thepipe. Resilient filler 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 toexten
27、d past the cylindrical plane of the pipe inside diameter.The connector shall be capable of maintaining a resilienthydrostatic seal under the performance conditions in accor-dance with Section 7. Devices used to effect mechanical sealsshall conform to the requirements specified in Section 4.TABLE 1 R

32、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 914 mm and smaller, at least one connectorshall be tested for each 152 mm increment in diameter. Fordiameters larger t
33、han 914 mm, at least one connector shall betested for each 304 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, todetermine whether the connecto
34、r conforms to the specificationwith regards to design and freedom from defects.6.3 When requested, a current certification shall be fur-nished as the basis of acceptance. The certification shall consistof the connector manufacturers test report, or statement by themanufacturer, accompanied by a copy
35、 of the test results, thatthe resilient connector has been tested and inspected inaccordance with the provisions of Sections 4 and 7. Eachcertification so furnished shall be signed by the connectormanufacturer or an authorized agent.NOTE 4Certification shall be deemed current if it represents presen
36、tdesign and bears a date that is no more than five years older than thecurrent date.7. Test Methods and Requirements7.1 Install a pipe and the resilient connector to be tested inthe manhole base 1200 mm inside diameter or smaller. Subjectthe assembly to a hydrostatic pressure of 41 kPa (4.3 m) at th
37、ecenterline of the connector for a period of 10 min. Restrain thepipe against axial movement during the tests.7.1.1 Install a lateral and resilient connector to be tested intothe pipe. Subject the assembly to a hydrostatic pressure of 41kPa (4.3 m) at the centerline of the connector for a period of
38、10min. Restrain the lateral against axial movement during thetests.7.2 There shall be no leakage under any of the followingconditions, when subjected to a hydrostatic pressure of 41 kPa(4.3 m) for 10 min:7.2.1 Straight alignment of the pipe/lateral.7.2.2 Axial deflection of the pipe/lateral of at le

(Note: Pressure is notprohibited
40、 from being relieved while deflecting or loading testsection.)7.3 Leakage shall be construed to mean freely drippingwater emanating at the interface between the connector andeither the manhole base, the pipe, or the lateral; between theconnector and the filler rings; or through the body of theconnec
41、tor and the filler rings; or through the body of theconnector itself.7.4 Moisture appearing at random locations on the base ofthe outlet in the form of patches or beads adhering to thesurfaces shall not be considered leakage.7.5 A delay of up to 24 h is not prohibited prior to makingobservations of
