17、 pipepipe with corrugated exterior andsmooth interior.3.2.2 pipesmooth or corrugated interior wall thermoplas-tic pipe.4. General Requirements4.1 StoragePipe should be stored with support from a flatsurface to prevent the pipe from developing a permanent set.4.2 HandlingCare should be exercised duri

18、ng loading,unloading, and in transit because pipe may be damaged byabrasion and sharp edges. Because thermoplastics are tempo-rarily softened by high temperatures, care should be takenunder these conditions to avoid damage during handlingoperations.4.3 If contact with chemicals not ordinarily presen

19、t insanitary sewage is anticipated, the approval of the regulatoryauthority to install pipe should be obtained.NOTE 1The manufacturer should be contacted for information onchemical resistance.4.4 Coiled pipe is not recommended for use in leach fieldsbecause it is difficult to install at the proper g

20、rade andalignment; it is acceptable with special equipment installation.NOTE 2Corrugated interior pipe should not be used between thedwelling and the waste water treatment unit (septic tank or similar device)because the corrugations may inhibit the flow of solids contained in thewaste.5. Installatio

21、nLeach Field5.1 Leach fields should be constructed to meet the require-ments of the local Department of Health or other governingauthority, which should be contacted for information andrequirements on design, location, installation, materials, and soforth.5.2 Before installation, pipe should be insp

22、ected for damagesuch as kinks, crushed portions, splits, and so forth. Anydamaged portions of pipe shall be cut out as a cylinder anddiscarded. Make a visual check of the bore to ensure it is clearof foreign objects that might impede flow.5.3 Gravel SystemsFor proper waste water flow into thesurroun

23、ding soils and to provide for support of pipe, a uniformlayer of 4 to 6 in. (100 to 150 mm) of graded aggregate shouldbe placed in the trench bottom and leveled true to grade priorto laying the pipe (see Fig. 1). Aggregate should range from34to 214 in. (13 to 54 mm) in size. The aggregate under the

24、pipeshould not be compacted; for example, by tamping or walking,as this may damage the soil interface.5.4 Fittings recommended by the pipe manufacturer shouldbe used at all joints and for changes of direction except thatpipe may be bent to a radius of not less than 5 times thediameter.5.5 Unless oth

25、erwise specified, pipe should be laid true tograde and aligned in the center of the trench, with the top printline or location stripe at the 12 oclock position so that holesare placed down. It should be held in place by alignmentsupports, such as wooden stakes or steel rods.NOTE 3Some authorities re

26、quire the covering of the line withuntreated building paper or a geotextile to prevent entry of aggregate,prior to the next step. This is usually required only in areas that require theperforations to be oriented on the top instead of the bottom of the pipe.5.6 For gravel systems, place aggregate ar

27、ound the pipeuntil only the top center is still visible. Make a final check ofgrade and alignment. It is particularly important that the sidewalls be given uniform and continuous support to providelateral restraint against deflection during backfilling operations.Care should be taken to prevent dama

28、ge to the lines. Do notpermit a dump truck or front-end loader to dump directly overthe pipe. Call for final inspection by local authority if required.5.6.1 Add additional aggregate until the lines are covered toa minimum depth of 2 in. (50 mm) above the pipe (see Fig. 1).Remove alignment supports,

29、level the aggregate, and backfillto grade with soil. An additional 4 to 6-in. (100 to 150-mm)overfill is recommended to compensate for settling.NOTE 4Some authorities require that the top of the aggregate beprotected from migration by a layer of nonbiodegradable, perviousmaterial such as untreated b

30、uilding paper or a geotextile. Installers shouldnote that the use of the impervious materials, such as plastic film, preventsupward evapotranspiration. The governing authority should be contactedto determine the type of material required.5.7 For the gravel-less leach lines, the plastic protectivecov

31、ering used in shipping must be removed from the pipebefore backfilling. The geotextile covering of the pipe must becontinuous and not damaged. Gravel-less leach lines should bebackfilled with the soil excavated from the trench. Placeembedment material, free of large particles such as rocks,clods, an

32、d other extraneous materials up to the spring line ofthe pipe. Work sufficient material along the sides of the pipe toprovide adequate side support, without compacting the mate-rial (see Fig. 2).5.7.1 Add selected backfill to a minimum of 6 in. (150 mm)over the top of the pipe. Remaining backfill ma

33、y consist ofnative soil. An additional 4 to 6 in. (100 to 150 mm) of overfillis recommended to compensate for settling.NOTE 11 in. = 25.4 mm.FIG. 1 Gravel Leach TrenchF 481 97 (2008)2NOTE 5A record of the installation should be made, including adimensional sketch, name of installer, date of installa

34、tion, type and brandof pipe installed, and other system details. It is suggested that the systemowner be provided with a copy of this record.6. InstallationNon-Perforated Pipe6.1 Non-perforated laterals and connector lines are notnormally bedded in an aggregate envelope but are usuallybackfilled wit

35、h the soil excavated from the trench. Therefore,place embedment material, free of large particles such as rocks,clods, and other extraneous materials, up to the spring line ofthe pipe and compact by hand or mechanical tamping. Worksufficient material under the sides of the pipe to provideadequate si

36、de support (see Fig. 3).6.2 Take care to avoid contact between the pipe andcompaction equipment. The initial backfill and backfill mate-rial should generally be compacted in such a way that thecompaction equipment is not used directly above the pipe untilsufficient backfill has been placed to ensure

37、 that such equip-ment will not have a damaging effect on the pipe. Refer also toPractice D 2321 or F 449 for additional details and definitions.7. InstallationCurtain Drains7.1 Curtain drains are installed to prevent water seepageinto a leach field area. They should be installed in accordancewith Pr

38、actice D 2321 or F 449 and at least 1 ft (0.3 m) deeperthan the leach lines and 8 to 10 ft (2.4 to 3 m) from the leachline. The curtain drain should be directed to a free or pumpoutlet.7.2 When perforated, slotted, or slitted pipe is used, gravelor porous backfill should extend as specified or to an

39、y seepplane (see Fig. 4).7.3 If edgedrain is used, permeable soil or gravel backfillmay be used (see Fig. 5).8. Special Precautions8.1 Effect of High TemperaturesPipe can reach compara-tively high temperatures when exposed to the sun and thisreduces the pipe stiffness appreciably. Therefore, precaut

40、ionsmust be taken to prevent the impact of sharp or heavy objects,the sudden imposition of heavy overburden or excessive pullon such pipe. The pipe regains full strength and stiffness as thetemperature decreases to that of the soil; this will normallyrequire about 5 min.8.2 Effect of Low Temperature

41、sCare in handling andinstallation should be exercised under low-temperature condi-tions to avoid damage. As temperatures decrease, some typesof pipe tend to become more brittle and less flexible.9. Keywords9.1 curtain drain; gravel-less; installation; leach fieldNOTE 11 in. = 25.4 mm.FIG. 2 Gravel-l
