It has nothing to do with the angle.

I am not aware of anything other than standard 11.25, 22.5, 45 and 90 degree bends for pipe. I know in electrical conduits they have what are called long radius bends (sweeps) that make pulling the electrical wires easier, but I have never seen anything with regards to a long radius water bend. The plans specifically call out for 22 1/2 degree bends. If you would like something different, please let me know.

Director of Public Works. The (8/16/2010) Keith Marvin - Re: Bethel Road - NTC SubmittalsPage 2 official city position is that we specify long radius bends of domestic manufacture. That having been said, in the interest of time we will allow you to use the readily available materials to expedite the project. We will however require the long radius bends for those vertical bends where the 16" water line dives down under the creek. Feel free to call with any questions. Keith Marvin, P.E.

Per our suppliers inquiries, domestic fittings are not readily available and would have a 2-3 week lead time. Due to the tight and quick schedule for this water line, we do not have the time to wait for domestic fittings to be produced. Please let me know if you are ok with imported fittings. - Resilient Wedge (RW) and Resilient Seated (RS) gate valves are the same thing. The wording is all that is different between manufacturers. - There are no water services attaching to our lines so we will not be using service connections. - EBAA iron megalugs made of class 65-45-12 iron exceeds NCTCOG spec of 60-42-10. - Per our discussion, you will allow NTC to use SDR-35 for the sewer line (as called out on the plans) even though it is slightly deeper than 15'. Please let me know if all of this is acceptable and refer to the email at the bottom of this page from my material supplier as backup.
