1. Jointing Procedure 1.2 Using Solvent Cement
1. Cut the pipe square using a fine pitch and saw.
o
2. To remove burns use a medium file. The end of the pipe must be chamfered with a 2mm x 45
average chamfer.
3. The pipe and fitting should be marked. This will help determine proper penetration of pipe into socket.
4.5.6. Lightly abrade pipe and fitting, then clean the contacting surfaces thoroughly by using a clean rag and
cleaning fluid.
7. Apply sufficient Solvent Cement to pipe and fitting using a clean brush. The number of coats needed
will vary depending on the diameter of pipe and fitting. About one or two coats are usually needed.
8. Assemble joint immediately. Avoid twisting and hold the pipe and fitting together for 15 seconds for
½”& 60 seconds for 8” pipe. A pipe joining device should be used when pipe with a diameter of 6” or
more is to be joined. This will ensure full entry of spigod.
9. Remove excess cement.
10 Close solvent cement tin tightly.
11. Clean brush after use.
12. DO NOT smoke near can, DO NOT leave can near open flame, AVOID skin contact, DO NOT inhale.

Drying Time will vary according to amount of Solvent Cement applied, ambeint temperature and testing pressure. Temperatures

2. Underground Installation 2.1 General Requirements

Installation to be according to the relevant Codes of practice and to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

? The trench should not be opened too far in advance of pipe laying and should be backfilled as soon
as possible.

? If pipes are jointed above ground before being laid in the trench, they should be brought to th
temperature of the ground and backfill material in order to avoid contraction.

? Excavation should be made under the bell of each pipe so that the entire length of the pipe, except
the bell will be supported on the bottom of the trench.

? At any change of direction, anchoring by concrete blocks must be provided. A flexible membrane is
recommended between concrete and fitting for protection.

? Mechanical remembers should only used above 300mm from the pipe crown.

? After testing, exposed joints should be filled by pad gravel, compacted and then backfilling should
follow .

? For water distribution, disinfection of pipes is essential before the system is put into use (also some
times during use). The pipe should be flushed (velocity at least 2 ft. per seconds), then refilled with
chlorinated water with a dose of 50-100 ppm. At the end of 5 hours, chlorine residual should not be less
than ppm.

2. Underground Installation 2.1 General Requirements

This recommended practice describes procedures for installing single wall thermoplastic pipe in excavated

trenches. Consideration should be given to allowable deflection due to pipe/soil interactions.

When preparing the trench, certain conditions may be encountered which require special treatment in order to

provide adequate bedding and foundation.

1. The trench width below the top of the pipe affects the soil load imposed upon the pipe. Therefore, this

width should not be greater than that necessary to provide adequate room for joining the pipe and

compacting the hunching and initial backfill.

2. Wjem unstable trench walls are encountered, this condition must be stabilized before laying the pipe. To

obtain the desired lateral support for pipe laid, the trench width sould be a maximum of 5 pipe diameters,

otherwise sheeting, trench box or any other method would be used to control such conditions. in some

severe cases well points or under-drain may be used to control excessive ground water conditions.

3. The trench should be as narrow as possible. If trench width is greater than 6 pipe diameters, hunching

and initial backfill should be compacted to at least 2.5 pipe diameters on either side of the pipe.

4. When an unstable trench, botton condition is encountered, it must be stabilized before laying pipe, or an

alternative foundation should be utilized. A 150 mm layer of processed stone or gravel, of suitable grade

and which the unstable soil will not be penetrate, should be used. This material should be comacted.

5. If the trench is over-excavated below a point of 150mm from the bottom of the pipe, but not beyond a

point of 300mmm, it would be necessary for this area to be filled with an embedment material and

compacted. However, if the trench is more than 300mm deeper than the bottom of the pipe, return fill and

ram selected stone-free soil to within 100mm. Then proceed as in para 4.

6. Bedding material should be to drace along the entire length of the pipe to be installed. Differential

setlement is to be avoided and blocking should not be used to bring the pipe to grade.

Materials used for bedding, hunching and initial backfill are as follows:

150mm is generally sufficient to provide uniformity with little or no compaction due to the nature of
angular particles. Type 1 is also suitable for hunching and initial backfill.

TYPE II Coarse sands and gravels with maximum particle size of 12mm (½”). This type is also suitable for
bedding. However, when in use for hunching and initial backfill, place initial backfill in two stages in
order to prevent movement of the pep: Stage 1- to the top of the pipe, Stage 2 to at least 150mm
over the top of the pipe. Mechanical or hand tamping compaction should be used.

TYPE II Fine sand and clayey gravel. in bedding this type should be well compacted. In hunching and initial
backfilling it should be used in the same way as Type II but with maximum compaction.

TYPE IV Earth and debris of rocks larger than 20mm (3/4”) diameter and other materials. This type is not
suitable for bedding, hunching or initial backfill. It is used for the filling itself to cover the trench. A
layer of around 500mm (31.5”) over the initial backfill before the trench is well loaded and a layer of
about 1200mm (47”) before utilizing a hydro-hammer during compaction.

Backfilling should be carried out between joints to pressure testing. After testing joint should be
covered with TYPE I or TYPE II material, provided particles larger than 12mm (½”) have been
taken out. Then continue as mentioned above for the rest of the backfill.

BEDDING (SAND & GRAVEL) 75MM

Requirements for bedding and backfill is practically the same as sewer pipes except for few items:

a) Haunching and backfill materials are of 12mm (½”) particle size of smaller and surround the pipe
completely. Type “III” is recommended as materials, also type 1, provided particles are 12mm and
smaller.

b) Sand and gravel containing a significant proportion of fine-grained material, such as silt and clay,
should be compacted by hand, preferably by mechanical tamper.

c) During trench cover and fill - up, rocks of 76mm (3”) and above must be removed; rolling equipment
or heavy tempers should only be used to consolidate the final backfill.

d) When pipe has been assembled on top of the trench, it is advisable to cool the pipe to ground
temperature before backfilling to prevent put-out due to thermal contraction.

e) When rubber-ring joints are used, suitable anchoring methods should be used to prevent excessive
longitudinal or bending movement of the piping: anchor points are at all sudden changes in
direction, such as elbows, tees, bends, etc.. It is necessary to withstand the pressure thrust.

f) If pipes are jointed above ground, they should remain undisturbed for 2 hours before being ‘snaked’
into the trench. Particular care should be taken to ensure pipes and jointing materials are throughly
dry when following the jointing procedure.

In overall use, gravel with fines and sands in the best backfill material for pressure pipe. sand and gravel
mixed with silts and clays, in which sand or gravel constitute at least 50% of the mixture, is also suitable.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
GRAVEL : Minimum grain size 6.4mm (1/4”)
SAND : Individual grains visible to the naked eye with maximum particle size of 6.4mm (1/4”)
SILT : Individual grain difficult to see with naked eye May be slightly plastic.
