Hepworth PLASTICS DRAINAGE AND SEWERAGE SYSTEMS TECHNICAL / PRODUCT GUIDE Hepworth Plastics Drainage and Sewerage Syste FLEXIBILITY PRECISION MANUFACTURE LIGHT WEIGHT RUGGEDNESS CORROSION RESISTANCE EASILY WORKED wy PN.C.u. pipes and fitings are regarded as flexible under the stresses set, up by backfill and surcharge loads. Properly installed in a suitable bed and surround, part of this load is transmitted to the side fill which is, correspondingly consolidated. The modulus of elasticity of PV.C.u. varies from about 400,000 ps. when new to about 200,000 p.s.i. after 50 years. In the event of unforeseen excess loading which could cause fracture of pipes of rigid materials, the PV.C.u. pipes merely take on a small, and generally temporary, increase in deformation. The PV.C.u. system has been based on the past usage and experience with pressure pipe for gravity purposes. Sewerdrain joints are made with the same precision as pressur there is no need to allow for itin design. Connections at a later date can be done with equal confidence. Precision joints together with longer pipe lengths reduce the risks of blockage and have a minimal effect on flow. Handling costs reduced to a minimum, Easily stored, easily laid with fewer men and less machinery. PV.C.u, can reduce breakage dramatically because ofits higher impact strangth. Even pipes which have sutfered some damage can be partially saved by removing the damaged section. ‘Normal acid or alkali soil conditions have no adverse effect. Sewerdrain can be used for a wide range of industrial effluents. For more detailed information contact our technical department or consult BS code of practice CP312, Part 1 : 1973. [No special tools required and not unkind to the hands. Hepworth Plastics Drainage and Sewerage Syste EXPERIENCE PREFERRED METRIC RANGE ®@ GENERAL INFORMATION STANDARD LENGTHS FLOW PHYSICAL PROPERTIES PN.C.u, pipes are a proven part of modern building and civil engineering land pressure pipes up to 24” diameter have for many years been used for ‘gravity drainage schemes in all parts of the United Kingdom. They have een used on many major trunk roads and motorways, often with the original pipe design changed to make the most of the wider ranges of sizes available in PY.C.u. The crushing strength requirements of rigid material are not relevant to PV.C.u. because of its flexibility. The wall thickness/diameter ratio of ‘Sewerdrain has been selected so as to be comparable with class B "Pressure Pipes” to BS 3505. The outside diameters are in accordance with ISO/R161 recommendations. Because the SEWERDRAIN system has been designed to use a logical size progression from 110mm to 400mm with a single wall thickness to diameter ratio, a more accurate system using the extra available sizes can be designed, often resulting in considerable cost saving. Pipes are normally available and supplied with integral joints in 6m or ‘9m lengths, but lengths of 3m can be produced if required. Colour, the metric Sewerdrain system is terracotta coloured. Imperial pipe to BS 3505/BS 3506 is grey. ‘See Appendix Ill (Flow Charts), page 35. For the Colebrooke white formula the following co-efficients of friction should be used. When new 0.003mm, Mature 0.6mm (the normal accepted value for a mature sewer) NOTE Whilst it is difficult to claim the use of the lower value for a mature PV.C.u. sewer it should be noted that because of the long lengths and precision joints, it is difficult to induce roughness by misalignment of Joints.

The depth of the gully has been increased to 920mm so provi increase of 28% in capacity over the old 838mm version. ‘A Rubber Grommet supplied with the Gully Body provides the means by Which the trap is sealed to the body. When untrapped gullies are required, the grommet provides the seal between the Gully Body and the connecting pipework. The requirement to stock both trapped and untrapped gullies has traditionally required a large floor area. This new concept of supplying the trap as a separate item drastically reduces the space necessary for storage since: © only one type of body is needed to meet either requirement, and © the gully body can be nested to a high density due to the lack of external trap or outlet.

These pipe bundles are held by nylon straps and timber supports and are usually mechanically handled Loose pipes are hand-loaded and care should be taken before loading to check the vel load carrying area for nails and other projections. The pipes must be evenly supported throughout their length, but where this is not possible, timber supports of at least 75 mm bearing width should be placed no more than 2 m apart. When loading socket and spigot pipes, place the sockets at alternate ends of each layer, and allow the sockets to protrude so that the pipes are evenly supported, The pipes should be loaded so as not to overhang the vehicle by more than one metre. The vehicle should have side supports at centres of no more than 2 m and the inner upright surface should be flat with no sharp edges. When a mixed load of pipes (i.e. varying diameters) is to be transported, the larger, thicker-walled and thus heavier pipes should be placed at the bottom of the load with the small diameters on top. Fittings are supplied in cardboard boxes or plastic bags. The complete load should be correctly secured prior to commencement of the journey. Handling One man can easily handle 6m lengths up to 250 mm diameter, two men can handle up to 400 mm diameter. Mechanical aid will be required for larger sizes and pipe bundles. Because they are so easily handled, care should be taken, especially when pipes are being unloaded for stacking or distribution on site. Pipes should never be thrown from lorries. When pipes are mechanically lifted, web or rope slings should be used. Metal slings, hooks or chains must not come into contact with the pipes. When loose pipes have been transported one inside the other, always remove the inner pipe first. Do not drop or drag pipes le's Incorrect way to off load Correct way to off load Hepworth Plastics Drainage and Sewerage Syste Storage Loose Pipes The pipes should be laid on a reasonably flat surface free from large stones or sharp projections, if this is not possible, place the pipes on transverse bearers of at least 75 mm width and spaced at centres not exceeding 1m. Side support should have a minimum bearing width of at least 75 mm and placed at intervals of 1.5 m or less. Different sizes are best stacked separately, if this is not practical, then stack with the largest pipes at the base (see (a)). Pipes should not be nested for long periods and stacks should not exceed seven layers or 2m in height. When socketed pipes are stacked, the bottom layer of sockets should be prevented from being in direct contact with the ground, either by excavating under the socket, or by use of transverse supports (see (b)).. Alternate layers should have the sockets protruding from and opposite to the previous layer. In warm climates stacks should be limited to 1 m in height and be shaded if practicable (see (c)).

The accepted long-term limit for deformation is 6% of the vertical diameter, and is determined for the particular pipe according to its loading and installation conditions. Design Procedure The soil and traffic loads should be determined from Table 1 for the particular pipe diameter, burial depth and traffic conditions. These values are based on a saturated bulk density of 2000 kg/m’, should the site conditions indicate a different soil density then the soil load values can be adjusted onapro rata basis. The total load (soil load + traffic load) should be determined according to ‘the depth of cover and assumed traffic loading, and the corresponding deformation found by reference to chart number 1. If the predicted deformation is less than 6 %, then the installation conditions are acceptable.

Hepworth Plastics Drainage and Sewerage System: Pipes and Fittings Jointing Plastidrain Polypropylene Couplings 110 and 160mm diameter: ‘The polypropylene coupling incorporates an elastomeric sealing ring which is compressed by the pipe spigot to form an effective seal. Each joint permits 5° of angular deflection to facilitate installation and allow for ground movement. Before making the joint ensure that both the pipe end and the sealing ring are clean. Lubricant should be applied to the pipe end which is then inserted into the coupling, Should the pipe require cutting, the cut end should be chamfered to approximately 15° for half the pipe wall thickness and deburred with a sharp edged tool. No special provision is necessary to accommodate thermal expansion, this Is automatically achieved by the polypropylene coupling. Plastidrain and Sewerdrain PVC-U couplings and single sockets : Before making the joint ensure that both the pipe end and the sealing ring are clean, should cutting be necessary the pipe end should be chamfered as above. Lubricate both the pipe end and the sealing ring in the socket. Ensure that the components to be joined are correctly aligned, then push the spigot fully into the socket. The jointing of larger diameters is generally accomplished by applying leverage to the following socket end using a timber block to prevent damage. ‘To allow for expansion, mark the spigot at the socket face and then withdraw the spigot by a minimum of 12mm, If the spigot is already marked with the depth of entry, push the spigot home until the mark is just visible. Ultra-Rib ‘The Ultra-Rib sealing ring is placed on the pipe spigot rather than being housed in the socket, hence there is no need to chamfer any cut ends. The spigot and socket should be cleaned, then the sealing ring positioned between the second and third ribs, ensuring that it is seated squarely without twisting. Lubricate the whole of the inside of the socket, align the components to be joined, and “feed” the spigot into the socket. Push the spigot home by applying leverage to the trailing pipe end, using a timber block to prevent damage. Mechanical aids should not be requited. The pipe spigot is fully home when the pipe end meets the shoulder of the socket (Ie when the fifth rib has entered the sockel) Trench Backfilling Hand tamp the backfill fully at the sides of the pipe while tamping lightly over the crown. Hand tamping should continue Until a minimum thickness of 800mm has been placed over the pipe. “As dug” material may then be placed in 300mm layers and mechanically compacted. Dumpers or other vehicles must not be driven along the trench as a means of compaction. Testing All lengths of drains and sewers installed correctly using Hepworth PVC-U drainage systems will be capable of passing the appropriate air or water test specified. The former is usually more convenient but an excessive drop in pressure may be due to a change in temperature, defective apparatus or failure in the pipeline. tis therefore recommended that a water test follows an unsatisfactory air test so that the leakage can be assessed and located (seen (a) and (b) over page). pworth Plastics Drainage and Sewerage Systems (@ Air test () The length of drain or sewer to be tested including any connections should be effectively plugged. (i) Airis pumped into the test length by suitable means (e.g. hand pump) until a pressure of 100mm of water is indicated on a manometer connected to the system, Gi) Asuitable time should be allowed for stablilisation of air temperature. (v) The air pressure should not fall below 75mm of water during a period of five minutes, without further pumping. (&) Water test @ Suitable strutted plugs are inserted at the lower end of the drain or sewer and at the head of any connections. (i) Assuitable bend together with a vertical length of pipe is fitted at the head of the sewer or drain to provide the necessary test head, The system is then filled with water, (i) Atest pressure of 1.50m head above the crown of the pipe is applied at the higher end of the drain or sewer ensuring that the resultant head at the lower end does not exceed 4.0m. Where gradients are steep, it may be necessary to test in sections to avold exceeding this figure, (iv) The sewer or drain under test should be left filed with water for 1-2 hours, (¥) The loss of water over a period of 30 minutes should be measured, by adding known quantities of water every 10 minutes to maintain the original level in the stand pipe. The loss of water should not exceed the equivalent 1 litre per hour, per linear metre, per metre of nominal diameter. The source of any leakage should be visible and the defective part of the work should be removed and made good. (V) During the water test, strutting precautions should be taken to prevent any movement of the drain or sewer. Installation above ground Frost: PVC-U pipes become less resistant to impact at sub zero temperatures. The pipe should be protected accordingly in exposed conditions. Waterproof lagging should be carried out if the pipes are to stand full under no-flow conditions. Thermal movement ‘Thermal expansion and contraction should be allowed for and sufficient freedom of movement allowed for at brackets. Change in length can be calculated from the formula :- AL =< LAT where AL = change in length (mm) = coefficient of liner expansion = 0.05mm/m/*C ‘AL = change in temperature °C Pipe Support Brackets : ‘These should be as wide as practicable with a minimum width of 75mm, with no sharp edges. Bare metal is not advisable, and should have a plastic coating or incorporate a rubber seal for protection. Pipe Support Centres : ‘These are dependent on the temperature of the contents and the weight. For normal conditions in horizontal pipework, the centres should not exceed 110 160 180/200 225/250 300/315 400 450 500 610 (mm) 1.0m 12m 1.5m 1.7m 1.8m 2.0m 2.4m 2.2m 2.5m For vertical pipework, these distances may be doubled.
