The polyethylene pipe including the polyethylene appurtenances at joints shall be DriscePlox 1900 by Chovron Philipo Chomioal Co Ino, Plano, TX, or equal JOINTING METHODS ‘A. Lengths of pipe shall be assembled into suitable instalation lengths by the but-fusion process, All pipes so joined shall be made from the eame class and type of raw material ‘made by the same raw material supplier. ‘B. Installation lengths shall be joined by the use of stub onds. All stub ends for attachment to the polyethylene pipe shall be made from the same type and grade of polyethylene, from the same rew material supplier asthe pipe and shall be butt-fused to the pipe ends. ©. The polyethylene stub ends at joints shall be bacheu up by nylon custo steel tania ‘conforming to ANSI 816.1 and shaped as necessary to sul the outside dimensions ofthe pipe. The stub ends shall be connected with corrosion resisting bolts and nuts of Type ‘316 stainless sies! 2s specified in ASTM A/zo and ASIM A¥U/. Flat gaskets of 6 mm black reinforced rubber conforming to ANS! 816.21 shall he installed hatween the ‘opposing ends ofthe stub ends. D. In no case shall threaded male or female adapters of any plastic material be used for acapting polyethyiene pipe to systems, fing or auxiliary equipment of other materials, or for joining the installation lengths to each othe E. Termination t pipes, valves, or fitinge made of other material chal be by the flanged joints outlined in Paragraph 2.03C above. Ifthe pipe sizes are diferent, the Contractor ‘hall provide a ductile iron reducer to connect the two pipes. The pipe adjacent to these {into end to the joints themselves must be rigilly supported for a distance oT une pipe diameter beyond the flange. Buried couplings and flanges shall have a protective \weapping of "Denso" material by DENSO Inc. of Texas or equal, Where "Denso" material {s used, ie joint stall be packed up with “Densyl mastic’ to glve an even contour for \wrapping with "Densopol tape. A 1.5 mm thick enating of "anes pasta shall he applied following by 1 00 mm or more wide "Densopol” tape wound spirally round the joint with at least 50 percent overtap, PART 3 EXECUTION 301 HANDLING ‘A.
