24、 PVC HubsPVC pipe and joint sections that constitutethe hub component of this system shall be fabricated from pipeand joint that meet the requirements of either SpecificationD1785, D2665, D3034, F679 or AWWA C900.NOTE 3Experience has shown that successful performance of thisproduct depends on the ty

25、pe of bedding and backfill and the care in thefield installation of the manhole or wastewater structure and connectingpipes. The owner is cautioned that field inspection at the construction sitemay be necessary.5. Principles of Design5.1 The design of the connector shall be such that positiveseal is

26、 accomplished at two locations: (1) between the elasto-meric seal and the wall of the insitu pipe, manhole orwastewater structure and (2) between the elastomeric seal andthe pipe hub. The watertight seal between the insitu pipe,manhole or waste water structure is made by the compressionof the gasket

27、 between the insitu structure and the pipe hub.5.1.1 The seal between the connector and the wall of theinsitu pipe, manhole or wastewater structure shall be made bymechanical means, compression of the elastomeric seal be-tween the outside surface of the pipe hub and the opening in thewall of the ins

28、itu pipe, manhole or wastewater structure.5.1.2 The seal between the connector and the pipe hub shallbe made by mechanical means by compression of the elasto-meric material against the outside of the pipe hub with amechanical devise or band. Devices used to effect mechanicalseals shall conform to th

29、e requirements specified in Section 4.5.2 All pipe stubs installed shall allow for future connectionto the insitu pipe, manhole or wastewater structure, and bemechanically restrained from movement by means of theelastomeric connectors.

(6.25 mm) into the flow channel or void area of theinsitu structure.6. Basis of Acceptance6.1 Laboratory Testing:6.1.1 For each connector

31、 diameter, type and configuration atleast one connector shall be laboratory tested per year inaccordance with the procedures in Section 7. Tests shall beconducted on each combination of size, connector, pipematerial, and pipe/structure.6.1.2 The acceptability of the resilient connector shall bedeter

32、mined by the results of the physical tests prescribed in thisspecification, if and where required, and by inspection, todetermine whether the connector conforms to the specificationwith regards to design and freedom from defects.6.1.3 When requested, a current certification shall be fur-nished as th

33、e basis of acceptance. The certification shall consistof third party test report, accompanied by a copy of the testresults, that the connector has been tested and inspected inaccordance with the provisions of Section 4 and Section 7.Each certification so furnished shall be signed by the connectorman

34、ufacturer or an authorized agent.6.1.4 Certification shall be deemed current, if it representspresent design, and bears a date that is no more than one yearolder than the current date.6.2 Tee Bending Test:6.2.1 TeesThe tee connector shall be subjected to a load asillustrated in Fig. 2. The load shal

35、l result in a minimumbending moment of 100 ftlbf (136 Nm). The procedure may bemodified providing the resultant bending moment is main-tained.NOTE 4The tee bending test is intended to insure the connector wheninstalled in the insitu pipe/structure has adequate strength to preventdislodging during in

36、stallation and construction. It is not intended tovalidate the structural capacity of the either the connector or hoststructure.6.3 Field Testing:6.3.1 When required in the project documents, field air testsof connectors placed into insitu pipelines shall be conductedaccording the requirements of Sp

37、ecification F1417. Only theconnector needs to be evaluated, the incoming lateral pipe,which adjoins the connector, or the insitu pipe does not need toconstitute part of this test.NOTE 5When field pressure testing joint connections, extreme careneeds to be taken to insure all bulkheads and plugs are

38、properly securedand braced to prevent movement. This standard does not address all thefield related procedures necessary to conduct a safe test.6.3.2 In lieu of the requirements in section 6.3.1, if the pipeused in the insitu pipeline is within the scope of SpecificationF2487, it is permitted to eva

39、luate the performance and accep-tance of the connector as part of the infiltration and exfiltrationtest of the pipeline in accordance with the requirements ofSpecification F2487. The performance of the pipeline shall, asa minimum, be 200 gal/in/day (18.5 L/mm of internal diam-eter) or the project re

40、quirements, whichever is more severe orhas the higher requirement.NOTE 6Field performance depends greatly on the accuracy of the fieldcored hole in the host pipe, and the relative condition of the host pipe withregards to its overall deformation and deflection.7.
