1.6 Distributing Along the TrenchIn stringing out pipe, keep these points in mind:1. Line pipe as near to the trench as possible to avoid excessive handling.2. If the trench is open, it is advisable to string pipe on the side away fromexcavated earth wherever possible, so that the pipe can be moved easilyto the edge of the trench for lowering into position.3. If the trench is not yet open, find out which side the excavated earthwill be thrown, then string out on the opposite side (leave room forthe excavator).4. Place the pipe so as to protect it from traffic and heavy equipment.Also, safeguard it from the effect of any blasting that may be done.5. Direct sunlight may cause the exposed side of the pipe to heat up, creatinga bow in the pipe. Should this occur, the bow may be alleviatedby rotating the cool side toward the sun or by placing the pipe in theshade. Leaving pipe in palletized units minimizes bowing due to heatfrom the sun.6. It is normal practice to string pipe with bell ends pointing upgrade.Figure 5EAGLE CORR PE INSTALLATION GUIDE13
