Info

Publications by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM),American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the Plastics Pipe Institute(PPI) can also be helpful. Use of this information will minimize the potential forfailure resulting from improper design and installation practices.2.0 Product and Technical InformationThe JM Eagle Municipal & Industrial Water or Sewer Piping System is manufacturedto meet the requirements of ASTM D3035, ASTM F714, AWWAC901 or AWWA C906. Potable water pipe is listed to ANSI/NSF 14/61. Consultyour JM Eagle sales representative for advice regarding any questionsconcerning use of the JM Eagle Municipal & Industrial Water or Sewer PipingSystem.Potable water pipe is available with highly visible blue stripes OR a blueprint line.2.1 Effect of Environmental Exposure onPhysical Properties2.1.1 Chemical ResistanceJM Eagle Municipal & Industrial Water or Sewer Polyethylene Pipe, for allpractical purposes, is chemically inert. There are a few chemicals that willaffect it, but it will not rot, rust or corrode by electrolytic action or requirecathodic protection. Potable water pipe should be disinfected in accordancewith ANSI/AWWA C651. Chemical solutions used for disinfecting new or repairedpotable systems should not exceed 12 percent active chlorine. Higherconcentrations can degrade polyethylene.Chemical resistance data for polyethylene pipe can be found in the PlasticPipe Institute’s (PPI) Technical Report TR-19, found at www.plasticpipe.org.HDPE WATER/SEWER PIPING SYSTEM TECHNICAL & INSTALLATION GUIDE7
2.1.2 Weather ResistanceJM Eagle Municipal & Industrial Water or Sewer Pipe is protected againstdegradation caused by ultraviolet rays from direct sunlight. The polyethyleneresin contains 2 percent to 3 percent of finely divided carbon black.This provides the black color for JM Eagle Municipal & Industrial Water orSewer Pipe. Carbon black is the most effective additive for enhancing theweathering characteristics of polyethylene pipe. JM Eagle Municipal & IndustrialWater or Sewer Pipe can be safely stored outside in most climatesfor periods of many years without danger of loss of physical properties dueto ultraviolet (UV) exposure. In general, JM Eagle Co. recommends the useof a first-in first-out inventory management procedure.2.1.3 Installation TemperaturesJM Eagle Municipal & Industrial Water or Sewer Pipe can be installed at anyambient temperature condition in which normal installation operations wouldcontinue. In cold weather, however, special procedural recommendations, asoutlined in this bulletin, should be followed.2.1.4 Thermal Expansion and ContractionThe coefficient of thermal expansion for JM Eagle Municipal & Industrial Wateror Sewer Pipe is 9 x 10 -5 inch/inch/degrees F. This translates to an easyrule of thumb: the pipe changes in length 1 inch per 10 degrees F change intemperature per 100 feet of pipe length. The effect of expansion and contractionmust be considered when using compression and mechanical typefittings. The fitting must possess sufficient pullout resistance to counteractthe thermal stress forces generated by the pipe.2.1.5 Effect of External Loading StressesConsideration must be given to the installation of all plastic piping systems,including the JM Eagle Municipal & Industrial Water or Sewer Piping System,to avoid failures caused by excessive external stress. Field experiencehas shown that excessive externally induced stresses can act independently8 HDPE WATER/SEWER PIPING SYSTEM TECHNICAL & INSTALLATION GUIDE
