Introduction
The growing demand for an
effective all-out attack on
water pollution highlights the
need for improved sanitary
sewage collection systems. A
modern system needs pipe
with improved design for
reserve strength and stiffness
to increase load-bearing
capacity - all within the
framework of maximizing
sewer system capacity at
reasonable cost. Ring-Tire
PVC sewer pipe is designed
to meet this need.
Applications
J-M PVC sewer pipe is
suitable for conveying
domestic sanitary sewage as
well as certain industrial
wastes. For further
information regarding the
suitability of PVC for
conveying various chemicals,
contact your J-M pipe
representative.
1. Chemical Resistant:
J-M Ring-Tite PVC sewer
pipe is unaffected by the
fluids found in ordinary
domestic sewage. It is
immune to sewer gases and
the sulfuric acid generated
by the completion of the
hydrogen sulfide cycle. It is
immune to corrosive soils --
both alkaline or acidic.
2. Abrasion Resistant:
J-M Ring-Tite PVC sewer
pipe has excellent
resistance to abrasion,
gouging and scoring --
superior to that of most
common piping materials.
3. Flow Characteristics:
J-M Ring-Tite PVC sewer
pipe with long lengths,
smooth interior, and
factory-mede close
tolerance joints provides a
Manning "n" coefficient of
.009. High-carrying capacity
makes possible the use of
flatter grades or smaller
diameter pipe. Ask your J-M
sales representative for a
flow homograph and the
report "Hydraulic
Characteristics of PVC
Sewer Pipe in Sanitary
Sewers," a joint study by
Johns-Manville and Utah
State University.
Locked-in Ring
Through research and
technology we proudly offer
"locked-in" rubber ring PVC
sewer pipe. This
factory-made joint eliminates
the need to insert rings in the
field. Joint design and close
manufacturing tolerances
allow this joint to pass a 25
feet to head hydrostatic test
in the laboratory and provides
the basis for exacting
infiltration/exfiltration
specifications. Be secure in
the future by designing with
J-M Ring-Tite PVC sewer
pipe with Iow infiltration -
specify infiltration not to
exceed 50 gallons/inch
diameter/mile/day.
Call for ASTM D-3034
SDR35
Provides Greater External
Load-Carrying Capacity.
This allows for the design
and construction of PVC
gravity sewer systems
(4"-t5") consistent with best
engineering practices. A
uniform minimum "pipe
stiffness," (F/Ay = 46 psi)
means no weak links. It also
means that J-M PVC sewer
pipe in 8, 10, 12 & 15"
diameters has 60 to 75
pement greater pipe
stiffness than SDR 42 and
SDR 41 PVC sewer pipe.
This increased "pipe
stiffness" provides the extra
needed at that critical time
when the pipe is first being
installed in the trench and
undergoing bedding and
backfill.
Short Form
Specification
Scope
This specification
designates general
requirements for
unplasticized polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) Plastic
Gravity Sewer Pipe with
integral wall bel~ and spigot
joints for the conveyance of
domestic sewage.
Materials
Pipe and fittings shall meet
the requirements of ASTM
Specification D3034 for
4"-15" SDR 35 and F679 for
18"-27". The pipe shall be
colored green for in-ground
identification as sewer p~pe.
Pipe
Pipe shall be suitable for
use as a gravity sewer
conduit. Provisions must be
made for contraction and
expansion at each joint with
a rubber ring. The bell shall
consist of an integral wall
section with a solid
cross-section rubber ring,
factory assembled, securely
locked in place to prevent
displacement during
assembly. Sizes and
dimensions shall be as
shown in this specification.
Standard laying lengths
shall be 20 ft. and 13 ft.
+1 inch. At manufacturer's
option, random lengths of
not more than 15% of total
footage of each size may
be shipped in lieu of
standard lengths.
Drop Impact Test
Pipe (6" long section) shall
be subjected to impact from
a free falling tup (20-lb. Tup
A.) in accordance with
ASTM Method of Test
D2444. No shattering or
splitting (denting is not a
failure) shall be evident
when the following energy is
impacted:
Nominal Size

4 150
6 210
8 210
10 220
12 220
15 220
18 220
21 220
24 220
27 220
Fittings
All fittings and accessories
shall be as manufactured
and furnished by the pipe
supplier or approved equal
and have bell and/or spigot
configurations compatible
with that of the pipe.
Temperature for Testing
Pipe shall be designed to
pass all tests at 73°F
(_~3°f).
Pipe Stiffness
Minimum "pipe Stiffness"
(F/~, y) at 5% deflect[on
shall be 46 psi for all sizes
when tested in accordance
with ASTM Method of Test
D2412, "External Loading
Properties of Plastic Pipe by
Parallel-Plate Loading."
Joint Tightness
Two sections of pipe shall be
assembled in accordance
with the manufacturer's
recommendation. Joint shall
be tested in accordance with
ASTM D3212, "Joints for
Drain and Sewer Plastic
Pipe Using Flexible
Elastomeric Seals."
Flattening
There shall be no evidence
of splitting, cracking, or
breaking when the pipe is
tested as follows:
Flatten specimen of pipe, six
inches long between parallel
plates in a suitable press
until the distance between
the plates is forty percent of
the outside diameter of the
pipe, The rate of loading
shall be uniform and such
that the compression is
completed within two to five
minutes.
Gaskets
Material used for
elastomeric seal in push-
on joints shall meet the
requirements of ASTM
Specification F 477.
Installation
Product should be
installed in accordance
with J-M Publication
TR-614B, "Green-TireTM PVC
Gravity Sewer Pipe
Installation Guide."
