INSTALLATION PROCEDURES FOR HUBLESS CAST IRON SOIL PIPE AND FITTINGS FOR SANITARY AND STORMDRAIN, WASTE AND VENT PIPING APPLICATIONSX1.1 IntroductionX1.1.1 Several different types of hubless couplings areavailable for use
38、 in hubless cast iron sanitary and storm drain,waste, and vent piping applications to connect hubless cast ironsoil pipe and fittings by using a sleeve-type, or some other typecoupling device. It is the purpose of this portion of C 1540 tofurnish procedures as to the installation of couplings, which
39、 aremanufactured in accordance with C 1540 when applied to castiron soil pipe and fittings manufactured in accordance withCISPI Standard 301 and SpecificationA 888, latest revisions. Itmust be noted that these installation procedures are notintended to be applicable for couplings not made in accorda
40、ncewith C 1540.X1.1.2 The installation procedures stated below are illustra-tive only and are not a mandatory portion of C 1540.X1.2 PurposesX1.2.1 These installation procedures provide guidelines forinstallation, use and inspection of hubless cast iron soil pipeand fittings for sanitary and storm d
41、rain, waste, and vent pipingapplications when the coupling device described in C 1540 isused.X1.2.2 All construction projects involve many variables,hence it is not possible to state in advance every installationconsideration which may apply in the field. In the end the finaland controlling judgment
42、 decisions concerning installationFIG. 4 Unrestrained Hydrostatic Joint Testing ApparatusC1540044questions that arise must be made in the design and “on thejob” taking into account prevailing circumstances or condi-tions. These procedures are not a substitute for such informedjudgements and for manu
43、facturer-provided installation instruc-tions.X1.2.3 Complete stability of all components of hubless castiron soil pipe and fittings for sanitary and storm drain, waste,and vent piping applications should be given prime consider-ation.X1.3 Methods of Cutting Cast Iron Soil PipeX1.3.1 There are severa
44、l methods of successfully cuttingcast iron soil pipe. These methods may be placed into two basiccategories; those that require external power for their operationand those methods that require only hand operation. Methodsthat require external power are usually used for prefabricationwork or high volu
45、me cutting operations. Examples of this typeof equipment would be: (1) the abrasive saw (chop SAW), (2)power hack saw, and (3) an electrically actuated hydraulic snapcutter. Before using electrical equipment of this nature, themanufacturers operating instructions should be carefully re-viewed for sa
46、fe use of the equipment.X1.3.2 There are two hand operated cutting tools that areused in the industry today: (1) the standard steel pipe cutterusing cutting wheels specifically designed to cut cast iron soilpipe, and (2) the snap cutter. The snap cutter accounts for themajority of all cuts made on c
47、ast iron soil pipe in the field.There are several types of snap cutter available, the followingprocedure has been found to produce consistently good cuts:X1.3.2.1 After marking the pipe length to be cut, positionthe chain cutter squarely around the pipe to ensure a straightcut. The maximum number of
48、 wheels possible should be incontact with the pipe.X1.3.2.2 Score the pipe by applying pressure on the handlesto make the cutter wheels indent the pipe.X1.3.2.3 Rotate the pipe a few degrees and then apply quickfinal pressure to complete the cut. If a piece of pipe isunusually tough, score the pipe
49、several times before makingyour final cut. Scoring the pipe before the actual cut is the keyto a clean straight cut.X1.3.3 Cast iron soil pipe may also be cut with a hammerand a cold chisel. This method of cutting is very timeconsuming and should only be used if snap cutters are notavailable. Again, protective equipment, such as safety goggles,should be used. The procedure for cutting soil pipe with ahammer and chisel are as follows:X1.3.3.1 Measure the length to be cut and mark the cut linecompletely around the circumference of the pipe.X1.3.3.2 Place the mark t
