Coiled HDPE pipe may contain energyas in a spring. Uncontrolled release, i.e., cutting of straps, can result indangerous uncontrolled forces. All safety precautions and proper equipmentis required.3.3 StringingReel trailers can be helpful when stringing out coiled pipe for direct burial,plow-in, pull-in or insertion renewal. It is helpful when handling coiled pipeto string the pipe out on the ground upon arrival at the job site. This allowstime for the coil set to relax, and will simplify handling and emplacement ofthe pipe.When uncoiling pipe by hand, only cut those straps on the coils, which arenecessary to uncoil outer rolls; cut internal bands whenever necessary asthe coil is unrolled.Always inspect the pipe as it is being uncoiled and during installation to makesure no damage to the pipe has occurred during shipment and subsequenthandling at the job site.12 HDPE WATER/SEWER PIPING SYSTEM TECHNICAL & INSTALLATION GUIDE
