For smaller sizes, up to 250 mm nominal bore, the pipe may be lowered by the use of ropes. All construction debris should be cleared from the inside of the pipe either before or just after a joint is made. This is done by passing a pull-through in the pipe, or by hand, depending on the size of the pipe. All persons should vacate any section of trench into which the pipe is being lowered On gradients of 1:15 or steeper, precautions should be taken to ensure that the spigot of the pipe being laid does not move into or out of the socket of the laid pipe during the jointing operations. As soon as the joint assembly has been completed, the pipe should be held firmly in position while the trench is back filled over the barrel of the pipe. The designed anchorage shall be provided to resist the thrusts developed by internal pressure at bends, tees, etc. The assembly of the pipes shall be made as recommended by the pipe manufacturer and using the suitable tools. The socket and spigot ends of the pipes shall be brushed and cleaned.

Jointing of Pipe. All joint areas on the pipe shall be cleaned and free from irregularities before an attempt is made to make up any joints.

In the case of rubber gasket joints, these joints shall be made up in accordance with the American Standard specifications for the jointing of cast iron pressure pipe and fittings including torque. ASA #A21.11 (AWWA #C111). Consult the Portland Water District for guidance in the proper selection of pipe gaskets in areas of contaminated soils. The Portland Water District reserves the right to specify the use of specialty gaskets, including nitrile and viton gaskets. In the case of flanged joints, flange faces shall be thoroughly cleaned before making up such joints, so that no paint globs or any other projections or rust or other foreign matter remain on the faces of the flanges and that they are smooth, clean iron. Bolts and nuts shall be tightened evenly, being tightened in pairs on opposite sides of the pipe, until all are equally torqued. When completely tightened, the bolts should be long enough so that all nuts are “full”. Solid long body sleeves per specifications shall be used when connecting new pipe of all sizes. When joining a new section of pipe to an existing section of unknown O.D., a “duo” sleeve shall be used for sizes up to and including 16”. The “duo” sleeve will accommodate the increased O.D. of older cast iron pipe. For connecting to a section of pipe with an unknown O.D. above 16”, an approved steel coupling may be used.
