1 WaterworksProductsPVC c900 HighPressure Water PipePVC c900 HighPressure Water , Reliable and Perfect for Municipal Water SystemsPWPipe is the largest producer ofPVC pipe in western North Americaand our products are available from Distributors throughout this geographic region. Our Water worksproducts are distributed primarily inthe states West of the products include PVC andpolyethylene pipe and tubing for a variety of applications servicing thepotable Water , well casing, sewer, turf, agriculture, plumbing, communications, and electrical markets. Our manufacturing facilities in Oregon, Washington, California, Utah, and Nebraska assure on-time c900 high Pressure waterpipe combines superior materials withthe latest manufacturing products meet or exceed industry standards because of our rigorous quality-control supports the PVC pipe industry s efforts to maintain the highest design and manufacturingstandards.

2 We are members of theUni-Bell PVC Pipe Association andAmerican Water Works Association(AWWA).Why more specifiers choose PWPipe c900 forpotable Water ResistanceC900 is immune to nearly all types of internal and external PVC is a non-conductor, it isnot affected by electrolysis. Nor is itsusceptible to alkaline or acid soilconditions. A correctly installed PWPipe system will provide long-termservice at reduced operating QualityExtractant Water purity tests performed by independent test laboratories ensure that our pipemeets the requirements for Water purity as specified by ANSI/NSF Standard Flow CharacteristicsAn extremely smooth inner surfacegives c900 a Hazen-Williams flow coefficient of C=150. This means lessburden on pumps and reducedpumping costs, because there s lessfriction between moving Water andpipe Strength andDurabilityEvery piece of c900 is hydrostaticallyproof tested at four times its safety factor is applied to the long-term Pressure capacity ofthe pipe.

3 The resulting value is furtherreduced by a surge Pressure value,which also incorporates a factor. Burst test Pressure capability of c900 Class 150 is atleast 755 psi, with sustained pressuretest capability of 500 the country, in all conditions and climates, c900 hasserved admirably in municipal watermains, fire lines, and sewage IntegrityPWPipe s integral bell gasketed joint meets the same strength requirements of the c900 pipe, aswell as the demanding test criteria ofASTM D 3139. The ability of PVC tobend without breaking allows the jointand pipe assembly to compensate forminor earth movement, which can cause problems in more rigid,non-PVC is periodically tested to maintainlistings from Factory Mutual System*(FM) and Underwriters Laboratories(UL). c900 also conforms to applicable requirements of the Uniform Plumbing Code .*Factory Mutual is not applicable toClass 100, DR 25 Assembly Instructions1.

Corporation stops should bein sizes 5 8, 3 4, or 1 inch. When sizeslarger than 1 inch are required, tapping saddles or sleeves should be Tapping:Saddle taps may be made in any size or class of c900 pipe. Maximum outlet sizerecommended for saddle taps is 2inches. For sizes larger than 2 inches,a tapping sleeve should be Sleeves:Tapping sleevesmay be used on all sizes and classesof c900 . Sleeves are available up : Saddles and sleeves should not: Distort the pipe when tightened Have lugs that dig into the pipewhen the bolts are tightened Have a clamping arrangement not fully contoured to the outside diameter of the pipeFor more information on tapping, see Uni-Bell s tapping video and publications Uni-B-8 and 1.

The push on features ofour joints provide many installationadvantages, but without adequatethrust restraint they can become push off problems. The large thrustforces present in Water -distributionsystems (see Table 1) require thrustrestraints designed to handle test andpeak operating Thrust BlocksIf concrete thrust blocks are used, the size and type of thrust blockingmust be based on the load-bearingcapacity of the soil, Pressure in thepipe, and diameter of the pipe. Table2 provides conservative estimates ofload-bearing values for various soiltypes.

If concrete thrustblocks are required, allow sufficientcuring before tests for Pressure and leakage may be performed. If separate tests are done, the pressuretest should be done first. See Table the line is under Pressure ,check for leaks in all exposed pipe,fittings, valves, and hydrants. Repairor replace all defective elements.
