1.2.DUCTILE IRON: Ductile iron pipe shall conform to all requirements of
ANSI A 21.51 "Ductile Iron Pipe, Centrifugally Cast in Metal Molds or Sand
Lined Molds, for Water or Other Liquids." Minimum thickness shall be Class
51 with a 350 psi pressure rating.
1. JOINTS:
(a) Mechanical Joints. A11 mechanical joints shall meet requirements
of Specifications ANSI 21.6 and ANSI 21.11. A11 gasket surfaces shall be
smooth and free from imperfections. Gaskets shall conform to tests in accor-
dance with specifications and shall be less than one year old.
Bolts shall meet all requirements of the above specification, honoring all
characteristics, tolerances and tests.
(b) Push -On -Joints. A11 push -on joints shall meet the requirements
of ANSI 21.11. Gaskets shall be free from defects and not over one year old.
(c) Flanged Joints. Flanged joints shall be bolted firmly with machine,
stud or cap bolts of proper size. Flanges may be cast intergrally with the pipe
or may be screwed on threaded pipe. Flanges shall be faced and drilled and of
proper dimensions for size and pressure required. A11 flanges shall meet
requirements of ANSI A 21.10 "American Standard for Cast Iron Fittings."
Bolts and nuts, unless otherwise specified, shall be made of the best quality
refined iron or metal steel and have clean well fitting threads. Bolts will
be provided with standard hexagonal nuts and standard hexagonal heads. Bolts
shall be of the diameter required for each flange and when installed shall be
of length so that no more than 3/8 inch or less than 1/8 inch extends past
face of nut.
Gaskets shall be 1/16 inch thick made of best quality asbestos sheet gasket
material or equal. A gasket for each flanged joint of proper size, ring type
or full face.
(d) Compression Joints. Compression joints shall be mechanical joint
sleeve, Smith Blair 441 or Flanged adapter Smith Blair Type 900 or equal.
2. FITTINGS:
(a) Mechanical Joint Fittings. Mechanical joint fittings shall conform
to ANSI A 21.10 "American Standard for Cast Iron Fittings."
(b) Push On Fittings. Push on fittings shall conform to ANSI A 21.10
with bells, sockets and plain ends per ANSI A 21.11.
(c) Flanged Fittings. Flanged fittings shall conform to ANSI A 21.1,
"American Standard for Cast Iron Fittings."
A11 flanges shall be faced and drilled. Where cap screws or stud bolts are
needed, flanges shall be tapped to support cap screws or stud bolts.
3. LAYING PIPE: Ductile iron pipe shall be laid as specified in AWWA Standard
for "Installation of Cast Iron Water Mains" C-600.
Tees, elbows, crosses, and reducers shall be used for changes in direction and
outlet.
Anchore and thrust blocks shall be placed at valves, elbows, tees, etc.
A11 compression couplings, mechanical joints, flanged joints, and valves
exposed to soil shall be wrapped with 8 mil thick polyethylene film adhesive -
tape equal to Polyken No. 900 or Scotchrap No. 50. The tape shall be installed
to adhere securely to both the pipe and polyethylene. Enough film shall be
used to overlap the adjoining pipe a minimum of one foot.
Valves shall be wrapped by bringing the wrap on the adjacent pipe over the
bells or flanges of the valve and sealing with the adhesive tape. The valve
bodies are then wrapped with a flat sheet of the film passed under the valve
bottom and brought up around the body to the stem and fastened in place with
the adhesive tape.
A11 fittings that require concrete blocking should be completely wrapped
prior to pouring the concrete backing block.
Polyethylene wrap shall be protected from the sun and weathering prior to use.
Care shall be exercised during backfilling of the protected areas to prevent
puncturing the film. Bottom of trench shall be shaped to give substantially
uniform circumferential support of lower third of each pipe.
1.3 PVC PLASTIC PIPE: PVC Plastic Pipe shall be made from clean virgin, Type I,
Grade 1, unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and shall meet the requirements
of the latest revision of ASTM D-1784, ASTM D-2241, with standard dimension
ratio of 18 (Class 150 psi) for all pipe. A11 pipe and fittings shall be NSF
approved. Pipe shall also meet the requirements of AWWA C-900.
Pipe and fitting joints shall be deep socket weld type or rubber gasket bell
and spigot type.
Fittings shall be of the same PVC material as the pipe where possible and shall
in no case have walls thinner than the pipe used. Fittings shall be capable
of sustaining pressures equal to those defined by ASTM 1599 and ASTM 1598 for
quick -burst and sustained pressure tests. Fittings shall be specifically
designed to be compatible with the pipe joint.
Service connections to PVC plastic lines shall be through either tapped
couplings (AWWA thread) or bronzed service saddles specifically designed for
plastic pipe (equal to Christy) or polypropylene saddles with stainless steel
reinforcing caps (equal to Smith -Blair). Reducing bushings shall be of
nylon.
1.4 When PVC plastic pipe or other nonmetallic materials are used in the
installation of pipe for culinary water lines in the City, said materials will
require an electrically conductive wire be installed with the piping to
facilitate locating it with an electronic pipe locator. Other suitable material
or means for accomplishing this purpose may be employed. Said wire or
material must be installed at the expense of the contractor installing the
line, and installation shall be supervised and inspected by the City Utilities
Superintendent, or his authorized inspector.
