F. The interior of all pipe, fittings, and other accessories shall be kept as free as possible from dirt and foreign matter at all times. Each piece of line as it is laid shall be cleaned of all debris. When the pipeline has become dirty on the inside during shipment or storage, it shall be swabbed out by drawing a damp swab through the line before placing in trench. Care shall be exercised to keep all joining surfaces clean. Any pipe with contaminated or damaged joining surfaces, which cannot be satisfactorily cleaned or repaired, shall be discarded. Under no circumstances shall pipe be installed in water, and no pipe shall be installed when trench conditions or the weather is unsuitable for such work. At all times when work is not in progress, all open ends of the pipe and fittings shall be securely closed to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer so that no trench water, rodents, earth, or other substance will enter the pipe or fittings.

7. When high density polyethylene or solvent weld joint pipe is used, it shall be weaved in the trench to provide horizontal slack in the line for expansion and contraction.

8. High density polyethylene pipe shall be allowed to cool to within 20ºF of the shaded trench bottom temperature before backfilling.

9. When pipes are installed in a structure or utility box, they shall be adequately supported.

10. Use proper fittings in order to follow the required line and grades and to avoid excessive curvature. Deflections from a straight line or grade, as required by vertical curves, horizontal curves, or offsets, shall not exceed the manufacturer's recommended maximum joint deflection or curvature for their pipe.

11. When more than one pipeline is in the same trench, the pipes shall be separated by at least eight horizontal inches, or as shown on the Plans.

12. Bends that result in joint tension or permanent pipe deformation are prohibited.

13. Pipelines may be relocated slightly, if necessary, to avoid existing obstacles.

However, the required slopes must be maintained.

L. Branch Connections

1. Branch connections to the main shall be made with tees.

2. Horizontal tees for waterline laterals shall not be permitted. The branch side of tees shall be up when drainage is toward the tee, and down when drainage is away from the tee.

3. Waterline tees shall be the same diameter as the largest pipe connected to the tee.

M. Pipe Joints

1. Joints shall be made, using jointing materials and applied with the proper accessories, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Completed joints shall be watertight, and capable of passing the required hydrostatic testing. If pipe and fittings are assembled with a lubricant, it must be nontoxic.

2. Dissimilar Joints: Connections between two dissimilar pipes or fittings shall be installed in manner recommended by the pipe manufacturer and approved by the Contracting Officer. Use adapters compatible with both piping materials, outer diameters and system working pressure.

c. Field cut ends shall be squared off by grinding or filing; ends shall be reamed with all chips and flakes removed.

d. Field cut threads or machined joints shall be made with sharp tools to sharp finished ends.

4. HDPE Heat-Fusion Joints

a. According to ASTM D 2657 and piping manufacturer's written instructions.

b. The joining method shall be butt fusion method and shall be performed in accordance with the pipe manufacturer's recommendations. Butt fusion equipment used in the joining procedures shall be capable of meeting all conditions recommended by the pipe manufacturer, including but not limited to, temperature requirements, alignment, and fusion pressures.

c. Personnel trained in butt fusion techniques by the manufacturer of the pipe, shall supervise or perform butt fusion operations.

d. Butt fusion shall be performed between pipe ends or pipe ends and fitting and valve outlets, of like outside diameter and wall thickness, SDR or DR. Butt fusion joining between same diameters but unlike wall thickness shall not be permitted. Transitions between unlike wall thickness shall be made with a transition nipple (a short length of the heavier wall pipe with one end machined to the lighter wall) or by mechanical means.

e. Branch connections to the main shall be made with polyethylene fittings, and butt fused.

f. Bent Strap Test: On each day that butt fusions are to be made, perform a “Bent Strap Test.” The first fusion of the day shall be a trial fusion. The trial fusion shall be allowed to cool completely, and then fusion test straps shall be cut out. The test strap shall be 12" (min) or 30 times the wall thickness in length with the fusion in the center, and 1" (min) or 1.5 times the wall thickness in width. Bend the test strap until the ends of the strap touch. If the fusion fails at the joint, a new trial fusion shall be made, cooled completely and tested. Butt fusion of pipe to be installed shall not commence until a trial fusion has passed the bent strap test.

3.2 DAYLIGHT DRAINS

WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS 221100-6

3.3 HYDROSTATIC TESTING

A. General

1. Contractor shall test all new waterline, waterline joints, and other connection points for leaks prior to backfilling.

2. Conduct piping tests before joints are covered and after thrust blocks, if required, have hardened sufficiently. Joints shall remain uncovered until testing is completed satisfactorily.

3. The Contracting Officer shall be present during the testing period.

4. No paints, asphalts, tars, enamels, or other types of pipe compounds shall be used to eliminate leaks.

b. Check system for leaks.

1) If no leaks observed, drain system completely, refill, and then check the system again for leaks.

2) If leaks are observed, drain system completely, repair leaking joints, pipe, etc. as applicable, refill, and then check the system again for leaks.

All visible leaks are to be repaired regardless of the amount of leakage.

c. Examination: All exposed pipe, fittings, valves, and joints shall be carefully examined. Any cracked or defective pipe, fitting, or valve discovered shall be repaired or replaced by the Contractor at his own expense with new material and the test repeated until satisfactory to the Contracting Officer.

3.4 CLEANING

A. Clean water-distribution piping as follows:

1. Purge new water-distribution piping systems and parts of existing systems that have been altered, extended, or repaired before use.

2. Flushing Pipelines
