10. HANDLING AND STORAGE REQUIREMENTS<br />

Do not stack pipe for storage without prior written approval from Future Pipe<br />

Industries. FRP Reka couplings should be stored flat.<br />

When storing the pipe directly on the ground, make sure that the ground is loose<br />

sand, level and free of potentially damaging debris or stones.<br />

Pipe sections 40 feet or less in length may be lifted using one support point. Any<br />

pipe section may be lifted using two support points separated by a third of that<br />

section length and located equidistant from the pipe section center.<br />

For lifting pipe, use pliable straps or rope. Do not use steel cables or chains<br />

unless sufficient padding is used to protect the pipe surface. Store rubber gaskets<br />

in their original containers (bags) in a cool, dry area shaded from sunlight.<br />

Do not drop or impact the pipe, particularly at pipe ends.<br />

Caution: Workers should wear gloves when handling pipe to protect hands from<br />

the rough pipe surfaces.<br />

Additional handling instructions shall be according to the Fiberstrong FRP Pipe<br />

Handling & Installation Manual for Underground Pipe Systems.
