bolts are furnished in two lengths. Place short bolts where two plates lap. Place long bolts
where three plates lap. Replace all service bolts used in drawings plates together with
standard bolts.

3.4 CONCRETE PIPE OR BOX JOINT INSTALLATION

A. Cold Compound joint

1. Bell and Spigot Pipe. Completely coat the inside surface of pipe bells and the outside surface
of spigot
ends with joint primer. Prime pipe only when the pipe is clean and dry. Apply coating
sufficiently in advance so that primer will be thoroughly dry when pipe is laid. Pipe 24 inches
and larger must be primed at the point of manufacture. Apply a fillet of compound on jute
around the pipe and lap at the top and shove home the spigot of the pipe. Bring the jute
around the pipe, firmly caulking the jute into place. Jute should be sufficient to fill one-fourth
of the depth of the bell. Fill the remaining three-fourths of the depth of the bell. Fill the
remaining three-fourths of the depth of the bell with compound, taking care to leave no voids
and to provide sufficient compound to form a fillet sloping 45 degrees from outer end of the
bell to the barrel of the next pipe.
2. Tongue-and-Groove Pipe or Box. With compound, coat both ends of the pipe with primer on all
surfaces
that will be in contact. Coat pipe only when the pipe is clean and dry. Allow the primer to dry
before the pipe is laid. Pipe 24 inches and larger must be primed at the factory. After pipes
have been set to proper line and grade in the trench, trowel, or otherwise apply to the groove
end of the pipe a 1/2 -inch-thick layer of compound. Cover about two-thirds of the joint face
around the entire circumference. Next, shove home the tongue end of the next pipe with
sufficient pressure to make a tight joint. Take care to avoid leaving ridges of compound
projecting into pipe in a manner that would obstruct flow. Make necessary adjustments in the
quality and consistency of the compound, as directed.
3. Band for Tongue-and-Groove Pipe or Box. Install an outside band of joint compound
completely around
the circumference of the pipe at the joint. This will necessitate digging bell holes at each joint.
The band must have a thickness at the center of at least 3/4-inch tapering uniformly to nothing
approximately 3 inches on each side of the center. Where Type-A bedding is used, the band
may be omitted on the portions of the joint that will be embedded in cement stabilized sand
bedding.

B. Neoprene or Rubber Gasket Joints. Rubber gaskets meeting ASTM C 443 may be used in
jointing concrete pipe. Ends of the pipe must be accurately made and designed for use with
gaskets.
1. Lay the pipe sections in the trench to true alignment and grade. Take exceptional care in
placing pipe
and making field joints.
2. Properly lubricate the groove end of the pipe and rubber gasket with flax soap or equal.
Mineral
lubricants will not be permitted.
3. Stretch a gasket over the spigot end of the pipe and carefully seat the gasket in the groove.
Do not twist,
roll, cut, crimp or otherwise injure gaskets or force them out of position during closure of the
joint.
4. Joints in pipe 12 inches and over may be pulled home by suitable winch, come-along or jack,
3 tons

minimum capacity. Correct joint rebound before backfilling pipe.

5. Pull or push home pipe smaller than 12 inches in diameter by suitable means. Remove
foreign matter or
dirt from the pipe and keep the pipe clean during and after laying.

C. Positioning. Joints made with cold compound may be pulled home by means of a suitable winch
or other suitable power equipment or come-along. Do not use a bar stuck into the ground for
positioning joints on pipe larger than 10 inches. A bar may be used to push home the joints
multiplied by the laying length per joint must equal the actual length of sewer in any given
section. Pull pipe home in a straight line with all parts of the pipe on the line and grade. Do not
permit horizontal or vertical movement of the pipe during or after the pulling operation. Pull or
push home rubber gasket joints by any suitable means that will provide adequate pressure to
ensure proper assembly of the joint. Use special care to ensure that the joints are in accordance
with the published instructions of the manufacturer. Do not fill the outside of joints with mortar.

3.5 CORRAGATED STEEL OR ALUMINUM COUPLING INSTALLATION

A. Preparation. Keep the space between the pipe and connecting bands free from dirt and grit so
that the corrugations fit snugly. While tightening the connecting band, tap the band with a soft-
headed mallet made of wood, rubber or plastic to take up slack and to ensure a tight joint. After
jointing, fill the annular space between abutting sections with bituminous material.

B. Standard Field Joints. Unless otherwise specified, make field joints with outside bands, each
band consisting of one or two pieces. Provide the type, size and gauge of the band and the size
of angles and bolts and indicated or, where not indicated, as specified in the applicable
standards or specifications for the pipe.

C. Rubber-Type Gasketed Joints.

1. Make gaskets used with circular pipe having not over 5 percent ellipse of 3/8-inch-thick by
1/2-inch

minimum width closed-cell expanded synthetic rubber. Fabricate the gasket in the form of a
cylinder with a diameter approximately 10 percent less than the nominal pipe size. Provide
gasket material conforming to the requirements of ASTM C 443.
2. Furnish connecting bands of the angle-lug, rod-and-lug, or U-bolt type. Provide the type, size
and gauge
of band and the size of angles, bolts, rods and U-bolts as indicated or, where not indicated,
as specified in the applicable standards or specifications for the pipe.
3. Install gaskets in accordance with the recommendations of the gasket manufacturer. Use
lubricants and
cements recommended by the manufacturer and comply with the manufacturer’s installation
requirements.
4. Place the gasket over one end of the section of pipe for half the width of the gasket. Double
the other
half over the end of the same pipe. When the adjoining section of pipe is in place, roll the
doubled-over half of the gasket over the adjoining sections. Correct any unevenness in
overlap so that the gasket covered the ends of the pipe sections equally. Center the
connecting bands over the adjoining sections of pipe, place the rods or bolts in position and
tighten the nuts. Tighten the band evenly, keeping even tension on the rods or bolts. Verify
that the gasket is setting properly in the corrugations.
