The advantage of Marley Underground Drainage Systems
The Marley Plumbing & Drainage range of Underground Drainage Systems consists of two different kinds of PVCu pipes for different applications. The solid wall range, predominantly for house drainage and the Quantum structured wall range for sewer and highway drainage applications. Since exhaustive field trials in 1968 Marley Plumbing & Drainage have been leaders in the development and production of PVCu drainage systems in the UK. Over the years development programmes have led to many technical innovations, simplifying work on site, improving structural and hydraulic performance and reducing installation costs, whilst maintaining the highest levels of performance and quality. The majority of products are manufactured at the Marley Plumbing & Drainage factory in Lenham, Kent. Marley solid and structured wall drainage pipes and the majority of fittings are manufactured under a quality assurance system from unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (PVCu). Inspection chambers, gratings, covers and UE407 couplings are manufactured from polypropylene. Products comply with the material and performance requirements of the relevant British and new European Standards.
Quantum for Sewers

Working with the UK Water Industry and using the agreed performance criteria, the revolutionary Quantum PVCu sewer system was developed in 1991. The objective was to maximise the structural performance of plastic pipes and to ensure a pipe was produced that was easier to handle and use on site whilst ensuring the overall
The Range
Marley Plumbing & Drainage offer two different pipe systems for different applications. The comprehensive range of fittings include 250mm and 450mm chambers with 110mm or 160mm outlets as well as five different gully combinations and a range of covers and gratings. The original solid wall PVCu underground drainage system is available in 82, 110 and 160mm diameters and consists of all the components necessary for a quick and easy installation. The revolutionary high performance PVCu structured wall Quantum Sewer pipe with Water Industry approval for gravity sewer applications is a lightweight, cost effective, modern alternative to clay or concrete pipes. Available in 150, 225 and 300mm diameters. Quantum Highway Pipe system has Department of Transport approval for use in highway carrier and filter drains. Available in 150, 225, 300, 400, 500 and 600mm diameters.
installation cost was reduced. Quantum fulfilled this criteria, absorbing shock and deformation without breaking. Typically, in impact tests, Quantum proved twice as strong as a standard PVCu pipe, and even better against traditional materials. That was seen as a key point in reducing site breakage. Its twin-wall structure also proved a lightweight alternative to traditional pipes, enhancing site handling and installation, reducing the cost of site plant and helping towards minimising health & safety risks on site. Furthermore, once installed, Quantum sewage systems prove virtually maintenance free. The smooth, non-porous bore of the pipe improves flow characteristics by lowering frictional resistance that, together with the reduction in joints, actually minimises the risk of blocking. Even when an operational blockage does occur, tests carried out by the Geotechnical Engineering Department at Loughborough University revealed that due to the inability of materials to adhere to plastic, blockages could actually be removed from pipework at jetting pressures as low as 1000 psi (70 bar).

General
Solid Wall underground drainage pipes and fittings for use in private foul and surface water drainage systems are manufactured to BS 4660 and EN 1401. Type UD. Quantum Sewer pipes and couplings are for use primarily in adoptable drainage systems. The 150mm range of pipes and fittings has also been independently tested by the British Board of Agrment and awarded Certificate no 94/2985 for foul drainage installations subject to Building Control approval, thereby providing an alternative to solid wall systems. Quantum Highway drainage pipes are manufactured to meet the performance requirements of the manual of contract documents Volume 1 Specification for Highway Works, June 2001, for the collection and disposal of surface and sub-surface water. The system has also been assessed by the British Board of Agrment for compliance with Department of Transport requirements and awarded Roads & Bridges Certificate No 09/H146 (150, 225 and 300mm only).

Statutory requirements
The following standards deal with drainage design: BS EN 752: 2008 Drain and sewer systems outside buildings. BS EN 1610: 1998 Construction and testing of drains and Sewers. The design and layout of drainage and sewerage systems should comply with The Building Regulations and Water Authority Specification. Reference should also be made to the Sewers for Adoption manual. The following information is provided only as a general guide to good practice for the design of underground drainage systems. For full details please consult the relevant documents referred to above.
Means of access
Access is required to drainage installations for testing, inspection and removal of debris. Access to drainage allowing rodding in both directions can be provided by inspection chambers, manholes and other access fittings. Rodding eyes provide access for clearance of debris in the direction of flow only and should thus be used in conjunction with an access chamber or manhole at a point downstream. No part of the drain or sewer should be more than 50m away from a manhole. The distance between points should therefore not exceed 100m.
Foul water drains

Foul water drainage systems are generally designed to run at a maximum of three quarters full bore. Pipe gradients should be established such that the velocity does not fall below 0.70m/s to ensure adequate self-cleansing. The proportional velocity relating to pipes running part full must be taken into consideration when determining compliance with this requirement. When calculating flow rates for foul water drains it is recommended that reference is made to BS EN 12056-2: 2000 and BS EN 752: 2008 to determine peak discharge rates. The procedure detailed in the above standards takes into consideration appliance discharge unit values and frequency of use to derive peak flow rates from which pipe sizes and gradients can be established. The table below is taken from BS EN 752: 2008 and provides guidance on minimum gradients for different size drains. Peak Flow (a) litres/second <1 82 110 >1 82 110 160 (b) Minimum one WC (c) Minimum five WCs In cases where discharge rates are very low or where continuous flow containing solid matter will be less than 1.0 l/s a steeper gradient of not less than 1:40 will be required. In addition, where ground settlement is likely, it is also recommended that steeper gradients are used and shorter 3m lengths of pipe are installed.

Pipe capabilities and velocities

Flow rates for all Marley underground drainage pipes can be calculated by using the Colebrooke White Formula.
(a) Peak flow based on probability flow calculation method
Roughness values
The pipe roughness values to be used when calculating pipe sizes for adoptable sewers are given in the Sewers for Adoption Manual (1.5mm for foul water and combined systems and 0.6mm for surface water systems). These values are to be applied to all types of pipe materials. For non-adoptable systems, where an opportunity exists to refine the hydraulic design to take account of the improved performance of PVCu pipe, the roughness values recommended in the Hydraulic Research Station Report (The Measurement of the Hydraulic Roughness of Slimed Sewer Pipes) should be used. In this situation, prior consultation should be carried out with the approving or specifying Authority over the selection of roughness values.
Ventilation
All drainage and sewerage systems require adequate ventilation to the open air in order to reduce the build up of toxic or explosive gases and to maintain atmospheric pressure when effluent flows through the drainage system. Ventilation should be provided at the head of a drain, normally through a soil and vent pipe or separate vent stack, but not through a manhole. Gullies incorporated in a foul water or combined drainage system must have a 50mm minimum water seal.

Foul water sewers

When designing foul water sewers reference should be made to the Sewers for Adoption Manual which gives guidance on design flows based on the number of dwellings or population served. When designing for commercial and industrial developments flow rates should be established in consultation with the Planning and Adopting Authorities. The minimum size for adoptable foul sewers is specified as 150mm diameter and the flattest recommended gradient is 1:150 provided that at least 10 dwellings are connected to the system.
Design methods
Calculation methods have been developed for the structural design of underground flexible pipelines and are detailed in BS EN 1295-1 and in The Materials Selection Manual for Sewers published by The Foundation for Water Research and Water UK. Adoption of the calculation methods detailed in these documents are recommended for the structural design of all Marley underground drainage systems. The documents include methods of evaluating the combined loading effects on pipelines from backfill material and vehicular traffic, the selection and compaction of backfill material and the resulting pipe deformations and buckling pressures. The design guides recommend initial and long-term stiffness values for BS EN 1401: 1998 PVCu pipe, which should be adopted when performing calculations on the Marley Solid Wall System. However, due to the significantly improved performance levels achieved with the Quantum Sewer System, the higher stiffness values shown on page 9, which are taken from WIS 4-35-01, can be substituted in the appropriate formulae when carrying out calculations relating to the use of Quantum Sewer pipelines.
Surface water drains and sewers

Surface water drainage systems may be designed to run full bore when subjected to an agreed Design Storm. Recommended design frequencies are shown in BS EN 752-4: 1998. The flow rates are generally derived from considering the size and nature of the catchment area, geographical location and rainfall intensities associated with particular storm return periods. Flat rates of rainfall of 50mm/hr can be used for areas where ponding is considered acceptable during and after heavy rainstorms for a few minutes. Alternatively, 75mm/hr can be used where ponding cannot be tolerated. For larger systems and adoptable surface water sewers it is recommended that the appropriate deign method is adopted from the Wallingford Procedure for the Design and Analysis of Urban Storm Drains Volumes 1, 3 and 4.
Deformation (Quantum sewer)

To ensure satisfactory performance of a PVCu pipeline it is generally recommended that a limiting negative deformation of 6% of the vertical diameter of the pipe be used in calculations. Practical experience and test work indicate that the vast majority of any deformation will occur within the first two years following installation and any increase thereafter will be negligible. This level of deformation has very little effect on the flow carrying properties of the pipeline, in fact a 6% deformation will cause less than a 1% reduction in full bore capacity. Using the design guides referred to above it is therefore possible to calculate the theoretical initial deflection value and then, if considered necessary, this can be compared with actual field measurements.
Adoptable sewers
(England & Wales) The layout of adoptable sewers should comply with the design requirements in the Sewers for Adoption Manual and any supplementary guidelines issued by the particular Adopting Authority. Manholes are required at all changes in vertical or horizontal alignment, at the head of all sewers and wherever there is a change in pipe size. The maximum spacing of manholes should not exceed 100m. Adoptable sewers should be situated within Highways or public open spaces. When this is not practicable, the layout must permit access to the sewer in a manner acceptable to the Adopting Authority and a formal Deed of Easement entered into. Full design details of the proposed sewer system must be submitted to the relevant Adopting Authority for approval and a formal Adoption Agreement prepared.
Bedding and backfill

In practice standard bedding and backfill details have been evolved for plastic pipes which, when correctly installed, will ensure the above guidelines are adhered to. Typical bedding and backfill details are illustrated in pages 36 to 38 of this guide.
Adoptable sewers
(Scotland) For details relating to adoptable sewers reference should be made to The Standard Specification for Water and Sewage Schemes and supplementary guidelines issued by the relevant Scottish Regional Water Authority.
Flexible pipe theory

PVCu pipes derive their load bearing capacity from a combination of their inherent stiffness and the characteristics of the bedding and sidefill material with which they are used. When a vertical load is imposed on a flexible pipeline it will deform and the resulting horizontal force is transmitted to the undisturbed trench wall via the sidefill material. A state of equilibrium is reached and any deflection of the pipe ceases when the horizontal reaction of the sidefill corresponds to the transmitted vertical load. The design of a PVCu pipeline must therefore take into account the interaction between the pipe and bedding material. This will enable PVCu pipes to withstand imposed loads without excessive deflection whilst also, unlike rigid pipes, maintaining their ability to cope with possible ground movement without fracturing.

D E S IGN The underground drainage layout shown below illustrates the use of Marley 250mm and 450mm diameter inspection chambers to provide a means of access to the drainage system, particularly where a common drain is used to serve more than one dwelling. This type of system is often used by developers, although in certain areas of the country some local authorities may prefer individual properties to have their own connection to the adoptable sewer, a practice that is favoured in Scotland. The smaller 250mm inspection chamber is suitable for installation of up to 600mm deep while the 450mm diameter chamber can be installed to invert depths of up to 1200mm.

Pipe laying
The following information is based on the recommendations in BS 5955: Part 6 Installation of PVCu pipework for gravity drains and sewers and BS EN 1610 Construction and testing of drains and sewers and is intended as a general guide to good practice in the selection of bedding and backfill materials for Marley solid wall and Quantum underground drainage systems.
Excavation
Trenches should not be open for extended periods in advance of pipe laying and should be backfilled as soon as possible. It is essential that the sides of the trench are adequately supported during pipe laying. Trench widths should be as narrow as is practicable but not less than the pipe diameter plus 300mm to allow adequate sidefill to be placed. Deeper excavations should ideally incorporate a sub-trench in accordance with the diagram opposite.

Granular material for bed & surround of PVCu drains and sewers
Suitable imported granular material for bedding and surrounding PVCu solid wall and Quantum Pipes for private and adoptable sewer applications is detailed in the table right: Grading complying with the requirements of BS EN 1610. Granular material also includes aggregates for concrete to BS EN 12620.

Bedding & backfill

Where the as-dug material is suitable*, the bottom of the trench may be trimmed to form the pipe bed and the as-dug soil used as sidefill and backfill in accordance with BS EN 1610 bedding construction type B (see drawing opposite). *Suitable material is defined as material in accordance with the recommendations of BS 5955: Part 6: 1980 Appendix A, having a maximum particle size not exceeding 20mm. Where the as-dug material is un-suitable as bed and surround installation should be carried out in accordance with BS EN 1610 bedding construction type 1, as shown opposite. Trenches should be excavated to allow for the depth of bedding material. Before any pipework is installed the bedding material should be laid evenly along the bottom of the trench. The sidefill material must be the same as the bedding material and extended to the crown of the pipe and be thoroughly compacted. Where the backfill above the pipe contains stones larger than 40mm or where the pipework is deeper than 2m in poor ground, the granular material must extend at least 100mm above the pipe crown. Alternatively, backfill material can be graded to eliminate stones exceeding 40mm and this selected material used for the first 300mm above the pipe. When the pipes are to be laid in rock, compacted sand or gravel, or in very soft or wet ground requiring mechanical means of trimming, the bedding should be a minimum of 100mm.

Pipes laid at depths less than 600mm and which are not under a road should, where necessary, be protected against damage by placing over them a layer of concrete, paving slabs or similar. A minimum 75mm cushioning layer of granular material must be laid between pipes and the slabs or concrete. Where drains are laid in fields, additional protection may be required from heavy vehicles and equipment. It is recommended that the installation is carried out with a concrete slab spanning the trench as shown for drains under private roads (right).

Drains often have to be laid under buildings in order to connect sanitary pipework which has been positioned some distance from the outer walls. Where this occurs, deep hardcore within the foundation boundaries should be compacted first. The trench for the pipe should then be excavated and suitable material employed for the bedding and backfilling operation. If trenches are dug from original ground, pipes may be laid and surrounded as necessary before the top layer of hardcore is formed. Where a pipe passes through a wall or foundation of a building, a lintel or sleeve should be built-in to provide clearance around the pipe.

Concrete bed & surround

The flexible nature of PVCu pipes enables them to accommodate ground movement and other differential settlement that may occur under normal conditions. Therefore, the use of concrete bed and surround is not recommended and only under special circumstances, at very shallow cover depths or where it is necessary to safeguard foundations, should it be used. Where the use of concrete bed and surround is unavoidable, it is recommended that pipes are laid in 3 metre lengths and a compressible board is shaped to fit around each joint. Pipes should also be wrapped with polythene to prevent the ingress of cement slurry into ring seal joints.

Access & inspection

Rodding points
A rodding point may be located at the head of a drain as an alternative to an inspection chamber or manhole. As rodding is only possible in one direction, which must be in the direction of flow, sufficient rodding points should be incorporated to provide access to all parts of the drain. Since it is not possible to remove debris from a rodding point, a shallow access chamber, inspection chamber or manhole must be provided at a point downstream. Rodding points should not be used on drains with invert depths of more than 2m and care must be taken during installation to ensure no load is transferred onto the branch upstand of pipe. The URP1 45 rodding point terminal may be used in situations accessible to light motor vehicles of up to 0.5 ton wheel load provided it is bedded and surrounded in concrete. Where rodding points are positioned in gardens it is also recommended that the area surrounding the terminal is paved or concreted to prevent the cover from becoming concealed by grass or soil.

250mm inspection chambers

250mm inspection chambers may be used as an alternative to traditional manholes for invert depths up to 600mm. Intermediate depths can be accommodated by cutting the chamber riser using a hard tipped handsaw or similar. The UCC7 is a one peice, level invert chamber with push-fit inlet and outlet sockets, making installation quick and easy. Square or circular PVCu lids and frames are available for use with 250mm inspection chambers and meet the loading requirements of BS EN 124: 1994 Class A15. An alternative to the UCC7 is the level invert chamber base UAC44 with separate riser UAR1. Both square or circular lids and frames are suitable for use with this inspection chamber assembly. Where the UCC7 or UAC44 inspection chambers are used to make a 90 change of direction in the drain, 45 bends should be fitted to the inlet and outlet connections to maintain a level invert through the chamber. It is also recommended that the peak flow in the drain is always discharged through the main channel and chambers are rotated accordingly on site to accommodate this.

250mm bottom outlet inspection chamber

The 250mm bottom outlet inspection chamber UAC02 provides a multiple collection point for branch drains from one or more dwellings and may also serve as a rodding and testing point for the main drain. The 110mm bottom outlet ensures that discharges from the side branches are quickly transmitted to the main drain which may be situated directly under the chamber or to one side at a lower level. The bottom outlet chamber is ideal for situations where the main drain runs parallel to a building at a lower level as this allows the chamber to be positioned directly above the drain. Connection is then made using a back drop arrangement with a 45 branch and bend to the main drain. Each chamber has four 110mm spigot inlets, three of which are open and the fourth can be opened for use if necessary. The UE43 plug can be used to blank off connections not required and the chamber riser UAR1 cut to accommodate invert depths of less than 600mm. The UCL2 circular or UCL3 square lid and frame can be used to provide access to the chamber at ground level.

450mm inspection chambers

450mm inspection chambers may be used as an alternative to traditionally constructed manholes for invert depths of up to 1.2 metres. Intermediate depths can easily be accommodated by simply cutting a riser, between the ribbed sections, to the desired height using a fine tooth saw. The chambers incorporate a push fit jointing system between components using ring seals fitted around the risers to enable water testing to be carried out. Chambers should be installed on a 100mm bed of suitable as-dug or granular material and care should be taken to ensure the bedding material is evenly compacted under the base so that the chamber is fully supported. During the installation stage and prior to backfilling, it is recommended that chamber riser retaining clips UCC10 are fitted to maintain vertical alignment of the chamber during the backfilling operation. The riser can be trimmed to suit the finished ground level and the cover and frame fitted to prevent debris from entering the drain. Sidefill material should extend to just below ground level and the cast iron cover and frame set in a concrete plinth. Two versions of chamber base are available, the UCC3 has 110mm inlets and outlet and the UCC5 has 110/160mm inlets and 160mm outlet. Both have ring seal socket connections. When connecting the UCC3 or UCC5 chamber base to a riser, the ring seal must be inserted in the first groove of the riser, as detailed opposite. When jointing riser to riser, the ring seal is always located in the first groove and to ease jointing it is recommended that silicone lubricant is used. The UCC5 160mm chamber base is fully compatible with 150mm Quantum pipe and fittings if the snap cap and seal is removed. Inspection chambers UCC3 and UCC5 are designed to withstand water testing in accordance with BS EN 1610. Chambers may be filled to ground level (1.2 metres max) in isolation or as part of a pipeline or complete drainage installation. Due to the non-absorbent nature of plastic materials the one hour conditioning period is not necessary prior to carrying out a water test.

450mm deep inspection chambers

For the installation of an inspection chamber deeper than 1.2m, the regulations require the clear opening to be reduced to 350mm to prevent man entry. Inspection and maintenance should be carried out by remotely operated equipment and the maximum depth is limited to 4m. Access is only permitted when there is no other alternative. For full details please refer to the Building Regulations (England & ales) Approved Document H Drainage & Waste Disposal April 2002 or Part 3 of the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 BSEN 752 2008. The 110mm deep inspection chamber UCC3D incorporates reinforcing ribs on the underside of the chamber and a single UCR3 chamber riser rod welded to the chamber base. Please note that the standard UCC3 chamber base and UCR2 riser are not suitable for deep inspection applications. Featuring increased ring stiffness over our standard inspection chamber riser, the UCR3 deep inspection riser must be used for all deep inspection applications. Identifiable by tabs marked Deep Inspection on the inside, each riser is 480mm high (effective height 440mm) and is supplied with a 450mm ring seal. The UCR3 must be used in conjunction with the UCC5 or UCC3D inspection chambers for deep inspection. The reduced access ring (UCLRR) fits into the UCL35PP lid and creates the required restricted opening for non-man entry.

Sealed access manholes

Rodding points, shallow access and inspection chambers alleviate the need for the majority of manholes but at certain strategic positions there will be a requirement to construct a working chamber over a drain where the depth makes it impossible to reach the invert from ground level. Sealed access manholes have demonstrated over several decades that they effectively prevent debris on the building site from entering the drain during construction. The use of sealed access fittings eliminates the cement mortar benching required for traditional open channel manholes. By installing straight or branch access fittings, complete flexibility of layout is provided by standard components. Pre-formed rectangular or circular concrete sections are ideal for constructing manholes and they considerably reduce the installed cost when compared with brick built manhole chambers. It is recommended that ring seal couplings are located as close as possible to entry and exit points of manholes to create rocker pipes to accommodate any differential settlement that may occur following the backfilling operation. The optional standing plug assembly provides a useful method of draining surface water that may infiltrate the manhole. The components shown are available from the Marley Soil & Waste product range. The standing plug, when withdrawn from its seal, will allow water to flow into the drain before anyone enters the chambers. However, if left out there will be no detrimental effect on the performance of the drainage system. Where there is a significant difference in invert levels between drain lines, the change of level may be accommodated by a back-drop manhole. PVCu pipes and fittings are ideal for this application because, due to their high strength, they may be installed inside the chamber where they are fully exposed for inspection and cleansing operations.

Open channel manholes

250mm inspection chambers provide an alternative to traditionally constructed manholes for invert depths of up to 600mm and 1200mm respectively. However, at greater invert depths there will be a need to construct manholes using brick or precast concrete sections. For this reason a range of PVCu open channel pipes and fittings have been designed specifically for building into brick or concrete manholes. Each component is designed to provide a good key for sand and cement benching. Elevation Where PVCu straight channel pipes and fittings are used, these should be bedded in cement mortar on a suitably prepared concrete base. Side branches should connect to the main channel using slipper bends trimmed to the required angle of entry, which must be less than 90 and positioned to ensure a smooth discharge into the main drain. Concrete infill and benching should rise vertically from the top edge of the channel to a height not less than the soffit of the outlet, and be sloped upwards to the wall of the manhole at a gradient of approximately 1 in 12. The surface should be floated to a smooth, hard finish with 1:2 cement mortar, laid monolithic with the benching and rounded off to a 25mm radius. Where a 90 change of direction is required within an open channel manhole the 110mm long radius channel bend UCB48L may be used.

Adoptable manholes
For adoptable sewer applications manhole details should be in accordance with the Sewers for Adoption Manual and any additional requirements specified by the relevant Adopting Authority. All changes in direction between incoming and outgoing sewers should be accommodated within the manhole chamber as no external bends are permitted. Typical manhole chamber sizes for sewers between 150mm and 300mm diameter are as follows: Depth to Pipe Soffit Less than 1m or 900 x 675mm 1m to 1.35m or 1240 x 675mm 1.35m to 6.0m Chamber Size 1050 diameter

However, prior approval of the Adopting Authority must be sought before utilising pre-formed chamber bases on adoptable sewer systems. It is recommended that ring seal couplings are located as close as possible to entry and exit points of manholes to create rocker pipes to accommodate any differential settlement that may occur following the backfilling operation.

Highway drainage manhole details

For Department of Transport (DTp) applications, manhole and catchpit construction details are to be in accordance with DTp Specification for Highway Works Clause 507 and Highway Construction Details Sheet Nos. F3 to F12. Brick or in situ concrete manholes may be used for Highway Drains up to 450mm diameter at depths up to 1000mm from finished ground level to top of pipe. Benching may be formed with an in situ concrete invert or by utilising a straight access channel formed from Quantum pipe. Branch connections can be terminated inside the chamber wall with invert and benching formed with in situ concrete. As an alternative to this, Quantum pipe can be easily and accurately cut on site using a fine tooth saw. The branch pipe can extend to the main channel with the section of pipe inside the chamber cut along its horizontal diameter to form a half round channel and the end of the pipe splayed to suit the angle of connection with the main channel. It is recommended that ring seal couplings are located as close as possible to entry and exit points of manholes to create rocker pipes to accommodate any differential settlement that may occur following the backfilling operation.

The double socketed design of the UG42 P Trap Gully makes it ideal for use in restricted spaces and allows the trap to be orientated to suit the direction of the outlet pipe. Both the square UG48 and rectangular UG47 hoppers can be connected to the gully using a short length of 110mm plain ended pipe. The UG45 gully grating can also be used with the UW401 raising piece to receive waste pipe connections below ground level.

Compact gully
The UG40 compact gully is simple in design, it features a unique design of baffle plate which, when removed, provides full access to the main body for cleaning and rodding purposes. Where a very shallow invert is required a UB45 110mm x 45 socket/ spigot bend can be connected into the gully outlet. The larger boss upstands on the gully accept 68mm rainwater pipe connections and the smaller upstands allow 32, 40 and 50mm pipes to be connected using the appropriate boss connector.

Stub waste connections

Isolated ground floor sanitary appliances are frequently supplied with their own 110mm drain in the form of an oversized and unventilated branch. There are two methods of connecting MUPVC or ABS waste pipework direct to drain. The SRM402 reducer may be used and solvent welded onto a plain spigot-upstand of pipe. With the SE41 reducer a flexible connection is provided at floor level as this fitting push fits into a ring seal socket. Standard Marley boss adaptors are used with both types of reducer.

Rainwater pipe connections

External rainwater pipes usually connect direct to the drain or, depending on the design of the sewerage system, via a gully trap. The diameter of 110mm PVCu Solid Wall above and below ground drainage systems are the same and therefore direct connection may be achieved without an adaptor. Where rainwater pipes connect directly to a drain and are of different sizes, a suitable reducer and adaptor fitting will be required. 1. 110mm PVCu to 68mm circular rainwater pipe 2. 110mm PVCu to 65mm square rainwater pipe 3. 82mm PVCu to 68mm circular rainwater pipe 4. 110mm PVCu to 82mm circular rainwater pipe

Quantum sewer
When installing Quantum Sewer Pipes it is recommended that the pipes are orientated with the red identification stripe uppermost to provide positive confirmation of the pipe grade at the inspection stage prior to backfilling. This will also enable easy identification should it be necessary to subsequently expose a section of the pipe to make a new connection.
Pipe cut between corrugations with fine tooth saw
Cutting and jointing Quantum pipes

Quantum pipes may be easily cut to length on site if required using a fine tooth saw. Saw cuts should be made square to the pipe midway between the corrugations. It is not necessary to chamfer the end of the pipe after cutting. Unlike joints on standard solid wall pipe, where the ring seal is located in a housing within the socket, with Quantum pipe the ring seal is fitted around the pipe. The procedure for jointing is as follows: 1. Ensure that the end of the pipe and inside the socket are free from swarf, grit, etc. 2. Fit seal into the first corrugation of the pipe making sure that the seal is correctly handed, as shown opposite, and that it is not twisted. 3. Apply lubricant around the pipe seal and inside the socket. 4. Push pipe fully into the socket either by hand or by using a timber block and lever on the other end of the pipe. Quantum couplings, bends, branches and reducers have an all socket configuration and jointing these to Quantum pipe is achieved in the same way as described above.

Connection to 160mm solid wall drainage pipes

All 150mm Quantum sockets have been designed for use with Quantum pipes and 160mm solid wall pipes to BS EN 1401: 2000. To adapt a Quantum fitting to accept 160mm solid wall drainage pipe, a snap cap SNC6 and seal UR61T must be fitted to the end of the socket to enable a connection to be made, as shown opposite.

Quantum to thick wall clayware
The UMA45 adaptor may be used to connect 150mm Quantum pipe to Densleeve or Hepsleeve 188mm outside diameter clayware pipe. The adaptor is designed to allow Quantum pipe to be jointed with clayware pipe using a standard clayware pipe coupler.

Thick wall clayware pipe
1. Remove factory fitted T seal from adaptor socket. 2. Fit Quantum seal on the pipe in the 10th corrugation from the end of the pipe ensuring the seal is correctly handed as shown on page 48. 3. Lubricate the seal and inside the socket of the adaptor. Push the adaptor over the pipe, ensuring the pipe passes completely through the adaptor until the end of the pipe aligns with the end of the adaptor. 4. Lubricate the adaptor spigot and push into the clayware pipe coupler up to the central register.

The same adaptor can also be used to connect 150mm Quantum pipe to Hepsleeve or Supersleeve 178mm outside diameter clayware pipe. For this application the end spigot of the adaptor is first removed using a fine tooth saw. The remaining section of the adaptor is then suitable for connecting directly into a standard polypropylene clayware pipe coupler as shown opposite. The installation sequence for this application is similar to that described above but the seal is fitted on the Quantum pipe in the 6th corrugation from the end of the pipe to take into account the shortened length of the adaptor.

Flexible couplings
The range of flexible couplings allow connections to be made between Quantum pipes and pipes of other materials.
1. Ensure pipe ends and couplings are clean and free from dirt and grit. 2. Loosen clamps and slide coupling fully over the Quantum pipe. 3. Mark the end of the second pipe at half a coupling width. 4. Butt pipes together and slide coupling back over joint using the mark to ensure the coupling is centralised on the joint. 5. Fully tighten the worm drive clamps.

Future connections
If a drainage system is likely to be extended in the future, branches at appropriate locations should be installed with the branch pipes blanked off with socket plugs. However, should it be required to install a new branch connection into an existing drain the following procedure should be adopted: 1. Materials required:Branch fitting of appropriate size. Two short lengths of pipe (minimum length 300mm). Quantum pipe seals. Two slip couplings. 2. Fit the two short lengths of pipe into the branch fitting using the standard jointing procedure shown on page 48. Mark ends of pipe at half a coupling depth. 3. Use this assembly to mark the length of existing pipe to be removed and then cut out the section of pipe. 4. Ensure the ends of the existing pipe are free from dirt, swarf, etc. Lubricate two slip couplings and slide fully over the ends of the existing pipe past the first corrugation. 5. Fit Quantum pipe seals to the first corrugation of each pipe end with the seals handed as illustrated to allow the couplings to slide back over the seals. 6. Lubricate all pipe seals and place branch assembly into position with branch pipe in desired plane. 7. Slide couplings back over joints using marks to ensure couplings are centralised on joints. The above method of constructing a new connection to an existing drain meets the requirements of BS EN 1610: 1997 Clause 9-2. A Quantum branch fitting can be installed into an existing concrete or clayware drain by following a similar procedure as described above but utilising appropriate flexible coupling in place of the slip couplings.

Testing drainage systems

Air or water testing of systems should be carried out as required by the particular approving Authority. Reference should be made to the following documents for guidance: Building Regulations Part H-Clause 2.26. BS EN 1610: 1997 Sections 12 and 13. It is recommended that air test method LA is adopted. However the standard water test can also be used. Due to the non-absorbent nature of plastic materials the one hour conditioning period is not necessary prior to commencing a water test.
Rodding equipment
Marley underground drainage systems may be rodded using continuous flexible rods, sectional polypropylene rods or other similar flexible systems. Rodding heads should incorporate a guide roller, and rigid couplings between sectional rods should not exceed 100mm in length. Pointed or boring type metal fittings are not recommended. Mechanical rodding techniques may be used with the exception of rotating toothed root cutters. These devices were primarily designed for use on traditional pipe materials where joint failure has occurred and allowed the ingress of roots. The incidence of PVCu ring seal joints failing in this way is extremely rare.
Water jetting PVCu drains and sewers

High pressure water jetting is now used extensively and is a recommended technique for the general cleaning, de-scaling and removal of blockages from both Marley solid wall pipes and Quantum drainage systems. The Code of Practice for Sewer Jetting published by The Water Research Centre contains detailed guidance on the use of this type of equipment for drain and sewer maintenance. Adherence to the recommendations contained in this document is strongly advised when jetting all pipe materials. The Code of Practice recommends for all house drainage systems and sewers where exact details of the condition, age and pipe material cannot be verified that a jetting pressure of 130 bar (1900 psi) is not exceeded. Independent jetting trials for blockage clearance in PVCu pipes have conclusively demonstrated that the improved hydraulic performance and smoother internal bore allows most types of blockages to be removed using standard rear facing jet nozzles at jetting pressures well below the maximum recommended in the Code. The Code of Practice recommends for all pipe materials that static jetting above 1900 psi is used only following confirmation that the pipeline being jetted is in good structural condition. Where up to date and accurate records of the condition of the sewer are unavailable a CCTV survey may be required prior to jetting above 1900 psi. The Code of Practice recommends a maximum jetting pressure of 180 bar (2600 psi) for PVCu pipes, when using a standard jet head. Where the distance from the access point to the blockage exceeds the travel capability of the standard jet head running at 180 bar (2600 psi) the use of a low impact jet head will allow higher pressures (thus great running distance) to be achieved without increased risk of pipe damage. The jet head manufacturers recommendations for maximum operating pressures should be observed when using these types of jet head.

Transportation and handling

PVCu pipes and fittings are strong and lightweight and therefore very easily handled, however, reasonable care should be exercised. During transportation loose pipes should preferably be loaded and unloaded by hand but if mechanical equipment is utilised, web or rope slings are recommended. Larger quantities of pipes are delivered in secure bundles within timber frames and wherever possible the pipes should remain within this packaging until required for installation. It is recommended that pipe bundles are unloaded by forklift or by using web or rope slings. Fittings are generally packed in cardboard boxes, plastic bags or in shrink-wrapped form.
Storage of loose pipes on site

Pipe bundles may be stacked up to three high on firm level ground ensuring that the frames are placed wood to wood to avoid damaging the pipes. Pipes should not be removed from any position within stacked bundles. Before removing pipes the bundles should be placed at ground level and provision made to retain the frames in an upright position as pipes are removed. Although Marley Quantum pipes have a corrugated external profile their unique design allows them to be easily slid out without the corrugations interlocking. Pipes which have been delivered loose or have been removed from pre-packed bundles should be stored on a reasonably flat, level surface on timber battens not less than 75mm wide spaced at a maximum of 1m centres. Side support should also be provided at intervals not exceeding 1.5m. Pipes of different sizes should preferably be stacked separately but where this is not possible larger diameter pipes should be placed at the bottom. Spigot and socket pipes should be stacked with sockets at alternate ends protruding to ensure pipes are evenly supported over their length. Pipes stored in the open for long periods or exposed to strong sunlight should be covered with an opaque sheet (not black). Fittings supplied in cardboard boxes or polythene bags should be stored in a cool place out of direct sunlight and away from any heat source.
