Basic Installation Instructions
Ames Company in-building risers are designed for easy
installation in standard configurations as outlined using
standard construction method.
The floor penetration detail of the In-building riser shall be
restrained per direction outlined by site plans. Consult Uni-
Bell handbook of PVC pipe if instructions are not provided.
The below ground connection is a standard AWWA C900
gasketed coupler (either ductile iron or PVC). Installation in
accordance with the following information (from Uni-Bell
handbook).
Clean out inside of coupler making certain the beveled
spigot end and the gasket groove are free of dirt.
Apply lubricant to beveled spigot (male).
Insert gasket into coupling groove and seat lirrnly.
Push lubricated end past gasket into the bell housing.
(Ames in-building risers are equipped with the lugs placed
1800 apart on either side of the unit which can be used to .pull" the pipe into the bell using a "come a-long" type
equipment. Also, the "bar and block method described in
the Uni-Bell handbook can also be used for installation).
The above ground connection is an AWWA specification C606
groove. All underwriters Laboratory approved groove couplers
made to fit the AWWA C606 grooves can be used to join the
connection to the in-building supply line.
Check gasket and lubricate it using groove coupler manu-
facturer's recommended lubricant or approved equal.
Install gasket. Place gasket over pipe end being sure gasket
lip does not overhang pipe end.
Align and bring two pipe ends together and slide gasket into
position centered between grooves or each pipe (no portion
of the gasket should extend into the groove of either pipe.)
Apply housings. Place housings over gasket, being sure the
housing keys engage into the grooves of the pipe. (No por-
tion of the gasket should extend into the groove of either
pipe.)
If restraint fitting is being used tighten nuts: Tighten nuts
alternately and equally until housing bolt pads are firmly
together metal to metal: Uneven tightening will cause gasket
to pinch.

Installation
Materials
Because the In-Building Riser is buried, the material of
construction has been chosen as Type 304L Stainless Steel.
This material is generally recognized as a corrosion resistant
material which is superior to Cast, Ductile Iron, or Coated
Steel pipe for corrosion resistance, and which is superior to
engineered plastics for strength and longevity. In general, the
stainless steel is the cathode in joints of dissimilar metal, so
that any corrosion which may occur will not affect the
stainless steel. In addition, an extra protection is provided in
that there is no actual metal to metal contact at either joint
due to the CIPS bell connection design and the groove
coupler design.
Installation Practices
Good installation practice for all types of buried pipe often
calls for wrapping of the pipe to decrease corrosion due to
soil conductivity. Although stainless steel is less susceptible
to corrosion, local codes and general practices should still
be followed.
Field Test Procedures
Normal field test procedures call for a hydrostatic pressure
test of the system prior to final acceptance. Often, segments
of the system will be tested individually prior to the complete
system test. In order to hydrostatically test the in-building riser
as installed, two methods are recommended.
Constrained Piping
If the piping installation is essentially complete, the piping
restraints may adequately take the thrust loads generated by
having a blind end on the pipe system. In these cases, no
special actions to restrain thrust or side loads are required,
and the fitting installed in the system may be adequate for
hydrostatic testing.
Free Piping
If just the riser or riser/main connection is to be tested, then
the thrust loads from the blind end cap on the riser may need
to be restrained. The riser design has been tested in the
unrestrained state using a rigid coupler and end cap grooved
fitting. Flange adapters, expansion fittings, or other styles of
end connectors may result in excessive end thrust which may
cause a leak or fitting malfunction. In addition, couplings
which are adequately rated for high pressure testing should
be used if thrust restraints are not feasible.
Note: It is important that all air is bled from the system before
pressurizing any component

PW Eagle produces PVC pipe
for a variety of applications
servicing the potable water, well
casing, sewer, turf, agriculture,
plumbing, communications and
electrical markets. Our eleven
manufacturing facilities in Oregon,
Washington, California, Utah,
Nebraska, Texas, Missouri and
West Virginia assure on-time delivery.
PW Eagle C905 high pressure water
pipe combines superior materials with
the latest manufacturing technology.
PW Eagle products meet or exceed
industry standards because of our
rigorous quality-control program.
PW Eagle supports the PVC pipe
industry's efforts to maintain the
highest design and manufacturing
standards. We are members of the
Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association and
American Water Works Association
(AWWA).

Corrosion Resistance
0900 is immune to nearly all types
of internal and external corrosion.
Since PVC is a non-conductor, it is not
affected by electrolysis. Nor is it sus-
ceptible to alkaline or acid soil condi-
tions. A correctly installed PW Eagle
system will provide long-term service
at reduced operating costs.
Water Quality
Extractant water purity tests
performed by independent test
laboratories ensure that our pipe
meets the recuirements for water
purity as specified by ANSI/NSF
Standard 61.
Superior flow
Characteristics
An exremal' smooth inner surface
gives 0900 a Hazen-Williams flow
coefficient of C=150. This means less
burden on pumps and reduced
pumping costs, because there's less
friction between moving water and
pbe walls.
Exceptional Strength and
Durability
Every piece of 0900 is hydrostatically
proof tested at four times its pressure
class.
A 2.5-to-1 safety factor is applied
to the long-term pressure capacity of
the pipe. The resulting value is further
reduced by a surge pressure value,
which also incorporates a 2.540-1
safety factor. Burst test pressure
capability of C900 Class 150 is at
least 755 psi, with sustained pressure
test capability of 500 psi.
Throughout the country, in all
conditions and climates, C900 has
served admirably in municipal water
mains, fire lines, and sewage force
mains.
joint Integrity
PW Eagle's integral bell gasketed
joint meets the same strength
requirements of the 0900 pipe, as
well as the demanding test criteria of
ASTM 03139. The ability of PVC to
bend without breaking allows the joint
and pipe assembly to compensate for
minor earth movement, which
can cause problems in more rigid,
non-PVC assemblies.
Certification
C900 is periodically tested to maintain
listings from Factory Mutual System*
(FM) and Underwriters Laboratories
(UL). 0900 also conforms to
applicable requirements of the
Uniform Plumbing Code.
*Factory Mutual is not applicable to
Class 100, DR 25 products.

Hydraulics
C900's pipe wall is extremely
smooth and energy-efficient. It has a
Hazen-Williams coefficient of C=150.
Pressure Class
PW Eagle offers a choice of three
pressure classes (100, 150, and 200)
which can be used where operating
pressures do not exceed the pressure
class plus surge allowances. When
you have questions or encounter
unusual circumstances, call a
PW Eagle representative.

Pipe Embedment
All PVC pipe should be installed
with bedding that provides uniform
longitudinal support under the pipe.
Use embedment material that is free
of large stones, frozen matter, or
other debris. Use proper compaction
procedures to provide soil densities
as specified by the design engineer.
Service Connections
Direct Tapping: Direct taps may be
made in C900 Class 150 and Class
200 in nominal sizes 6 inch through
12 inch. Corporation stops should be
in sizes %, 3/4, or 1 inch. When sizes
larger than 1 inch are required,
tapping saddles or sleeves should
be used.
Saddle Tapping: Saddle taps
may be made in any size or class
of C900 pipe. Maximum outlet size
recommended for saddle taps is 2
inches. For sizes larger than 2 inches,
a tapping sleeve should be used.
Tapping Sleeves: Tapping sleeves
may be used on all sizes and classes
of C900. Sleeves are available up to
size-on-size.
Caution: Saddles and sleeves
should not:
Distort the pipe when tightened
Have lugs that dig into the pipe
when the bolts are tightened
Have a clamping arrangement
not fully contoured to the outside
diameter of the pipe
For more information on tapping,
see Uni-Bell's tapping video and

Note: values are estimated for horizontal thrusts at depths of burial which exceed 2 feet.
Note: These values should be used orgy for estimating purposes. Values for design should be
determined by an engineer familiar with site soil conditions.
Axial deflection at the pipe joints is not
recommended, However, it is possible
to curve C900 to allow for slight
changes in direction.
Bending to these minimum radii
will not jeopardize C900's design
capability. See PW Eagle's Technical

Adequate thrust restraint is
necessary for all gasketed joint
systems. The 'push on" features of
our joints provide many installation
advantages, but without adequate
thrust restraint they can become
"push oft" problems. The large thrust
forces present in water-distribution
systems (see Table 1) require thrust
restraints designed to handle test and
peak operating pressures.
Concrete Thrust Blocks
If concrete thrust blocks are used,
the size and type of thrust blocking
must be based on the load-bearing
capacity of the soil, pressure in the
pipe, and diameter of the pipe. Table
2 provides conservative estimates of
load-bearing values for various soil
types. When soil conditions are not
known, samples should be tested to
determine soil properties.
Mechanical Restraints
If mechanical thrust restraint devices are
used, they should be a type designed
for use with PVC pipe. The devices
should meet the test requirements of
Uni-Bell's Specification Uni-B-1 3 "Joint
Restraint Devices for Use with PVC
Pipe." Design manuals and computer
software are available from the restraint
manufacturers.
For typical thrust blocking and
mechanical thrust restraint examples,
see Figures 1 through 6.

Repeat the test until all visible leaks pe pressure test 150% of working pressure at point of test 1 hr
stop and the allowable leakage but not less than 125% of normal working
pressure at highest elevation*
requirements are met, per Table 5.
For detailed pressure-testing
Separate leakage test 150% of working pressure of segment tested* 2 hr
requirements, consult your engineer Source: Underground Installation of PVC Pressure Pipe and Fittings for Water, AWvVA c605. or the PW Eagle installation guide. *Under no circumstances should test pressures exceed 305 psi for DR 14, 235 psi for DR 18, and
165 psi for DR 25 C900 PVC pipe.
WARNING: Do not use PVC pipe for
pressurized air systems. Injury or
death may result due to the cata-
strophic nature of pipe failure should
failure occur. Rapid expansion of
compressed air could propel shards
of plastic throughout the area.
WARNING: Expel all air from the
pipeline during filling and again be-
fore testing for pressure or leaks.
Automatic air-release valves are rec-
ommended. Compressed entrapped
air can greatly amplify surges or
pumping pressures. Also, com-
pressed air might leak through a
joint that will not leak water.
