Unless otherwise indicated in the Special Specifications, gravel surfacing for use with Class E backfill shall be 1 inch to 3/8 inch, conforming to the applicable requirements of AASHO M 63-51 . C . Workmanship. C-1 . Progress of Construction, It is the intent of these Contract Documents that the progress of the work shall be in a systematic manner so that as little inconvenience as possible will result to the public in the course of construction, It is necessary, therefore, that the Contractor confine his operations to as small a length of work per crew as is feasible. Except by permission of the Engineer, at no time shall the trenching equipment be further than 200 feet ahead of each pipe laying crew, Backfill of the trench shall be accomplished so that no section of approved pipe shall be left open longer than 48 hours, except by permission of the Engineer. Complete backfill and cleanup shall progress as each section of pipe has been inspected and approved. The Contractor shall repair and regrade all existing drainage ditches, natural drainage courses, and all other drainage facilities, including culverts damaged or removed during the construction. The Contractor shall give prompt consideration for reopening streets, road's, and driveways to the public after the line has been installed past these points, No traffic way shall be closed while work is suspended over week ends or holidays, and closures during work days shall be as brief as practicable. Where private accesses are to be closed, the property owners shall be notified by the Contractor at least 24 hours in advance of the closure. Access for fire and emergency equipment for the protection of buildings, life and property shall be maintained at all times. 41 C-2a Trench Width. Minimum width of unsheeted trenches in which pipe is to be laid shall be 24 inches greater than inside diameter of the pipe for u 24-inch and larger pipe and 18 inches for less than 24-inch diameter pipe, except by permission of the Engineer, The maximum clear width will not be limited, except in cases where excess width of excavation would cause damage to adjacent structures or where the Special Specifications or the Plans limit the clear width at the top of the pipe to avoid pipe failure due to excessive external load, C-3, Grade, The bottom of the trench shall be carried to the lines and grades shown on the plans or as established by the Engineer, with proper allowance for pipe thickness and for gravel cushion or special bedding when required, Any part of the trench excavated below grade shall be corrected with approved material thoroughly compacted, The depth of trenches for utilities shall be as specified in the Special Specifications or shown on the Plans, or both.. C-4, Rock Excavation., a, Definition of Rock Excavation, Unless otherwise defined in the Special Specifications, the term 'rock'" shall be understood to mean solid sandstone, limestone, granite., basalt, or other solid rock of equal hardness, in ledges, bedded deposits, or unstratified masses that, in the Engineer ' s opinion, will require the use of systematic drilling and blasting for removal . Boulders less than one-half cubic yard in volume will not be classified as rock, Cemented gravel (conglomerate), shale, clay, and other sedimentary materials will only be classified as rock when, in the Engineer ' s opinion, systematic drilling and blasting is required for removal . Loam, sand, gravel , clay, or other such material stratified between the layers of rock will not be classified as rock It shall be the Contractor ' s responsibility, when directed by the Engineer : to remove all loam, sand , gravel , clay, or other such material above the rock and clean off and expose the rock surface in a satisfactory manner so that the Engineer may examine the surface and obtain any measure- ments he requires. Measurement will include only the actual volume of the rock to be removed, Unless otherwise specified in the Special Specifications, the quantity of rock shall be measured by the Engineer and the Contractor or his representative prior to backfilling the trench and the amount of rock deter- mined, agreed upon, and made a matter of record by both parties, b. Depth of Rock Excavation, Where rock is encountered, it shall be excavated to a depth of six inches greater than the required grade, and the trench shall be backfilled with suitable material , thoroughly compacted to establish the proper grade for the pipe. c4 Use of Explosives. When the use of explosives is necessary for the prosecution of the work, the Contractor shall use the utmost care so as not to endanger life or property, cause slides, or disturb materials outside the neat lines of the trenches or excavations, Now, 1� `/ Ail explosives shall be stored in a safe, secure manner in compliance with local laws and ordinances, and all such storage places shall be marked clearly "dangerous Explosives.," No explosives shall be left in an unprotected manner along or adjacent to any highway, street, alley, or other area where such explosives could endanger persons or property„ Storage of explosives shall be in accordance with the requirements of the State Industrial Accident Commission or similar appropriate body having the jurisdiction in such matters in the state in which the work is performed.

When the spigot is shoved home, the yarning material shall be driven tightly against the inside base or hub of the bell. with suitable yarning tools, When a single strand of yarning material is used, it shall have an overlap at the top of not more than 2 inches. When more than a single strand is re- quired for a joint, each strand shall be cut to siifficient length so that the ends will meet without causing overlap The ends of the strands shall meet on opposite sides of the pipe and not on the top or at the bottom, Successive strands of yarning material shall be driven home separately., C-3.1 .2. Depth of Jointing Material ._ For lead joints, a space not Less than 2-1/4 inches in depth shall be left in the bell in pipe having a nominal diameter of 20 inches or less 2-li2 inches in 24-, 30-, and 36-inch pipe; and 3 inches in pipe larger than .36 inches. When cement is specified, a space not less than 3 inches in depth shall be left in the bell unless it is specified that the yarning material or packing shall be omitted. C-3.1 .3. Lead Joints. C-3.1..3.1 . Heatin and Pouringof Lead, head shall be heated in a melting pot .kept in easy reach of the joint to be poured so that the molten metal. will not be chilled in being carried from the melting pot to the joint. The lead shall be brought to a proper temperature so that, when stirred, it will show a rapid change of color, Before pouring, all scum shall, be removed from the surface of the molten lead. Each joint shall be made with one continuous pour, filling the entire joint space with solid lead. Spongy or imperfectly tilled joints shall- be burned out and repoured, C-3.1o.302. Position of Joint Runner. The joint runner shall fit snugly against the face of the bell and the outside of the pipe and shall be dammed with clay to form. a pouring lip to provide for filling the joint flush with the face and to the top of the belle C-:3alo3e.3Caulk_ i_n _ After the lead has cooled to the temperature of the pipe, lead joints shalt be caulked with pneumatic or hand tools operated by competent workmen. until. such joints are thoroughly compacted and watertight. The finished joint shall show a hard and even-hammered sur- face over all. Care shall b2 taken not to overstrain the bells during caulk- ing. Lead should be caulked from the barrel toward the bell of the pipe to assure that lead will be forced into the bell groove. C-3o1 .4. Cement Joints, C-3.1 ,4.1, Proportions_of Cement and Water, One quart of cement shall be thoroughly mixed with about I.%4 pint of water. The mixture shall be such that, when it is tightly compressed by band into a ball and the ball. is broken into two pieces, the break shall be clean. If the hand is water-stained, the mixture is too wet. If there is evidence of crumbling in the break, the mixture is too dry. The cement mixture shall ring with a metallic sound while being caulked.. C-3 e 1..4- 2 , Cause for lt�ion. No cement shall be used after having been wet more than one hour or after it has taken its initial set. C- 3e1.4.3.. Caulking Cement Joints, Starting at the bottom, the joint space shall be filled with the cement mixture and the mixture caulked. The remaining joint space shall then be refilled and caulked until. the joint is practically flush with the face of the bell. The mixture shall be thorough- ly compacted to make a watertight joint without overstraining the bell, C-3a1,4.40 Tench Water and Initial Set.

Item C-7. C-3.2. Jointing Mechanical Joint Cast 1.ron Pipe. Mechanical joint cast iron pipe varies slightly with different manufacturers, and the particu- lar pipe furnished shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations as approved by the Engineer. In general, the procedure shall be as hereinafter specified. The ends of the pipe shall be cleaned of all dirt, mud, and foreign matter by washing with water and scrubbing vigorous- ly with a wire brush, after which the gland and gasket shall be slipped on the plain end. If necessary, the pipe end may be lubricated with soapy water to facilitate sliding the gasket in place . The end of the pipe shall then be guided carefully into the bell of the pipe previously laid. The spigot shall be centrally located in the bell , the gasket placed in position, and the bolts inserted in the holes, Torque ranges to be applied to cast iron bolts and wrench lengths which should produce the required torque when applied by the average man should be as follows: Diameter Torque Range Wrench of Bolt-In. Tit. Lbs , Length in. 5/8 40 60 8 3/4 60 90 10 1 70 100 12 1-1/4 90 120 14 When tightening bolts, the gland should be broaght up toward the flange evenly, maintaining approximately the same distance between the gland and the face of the flange at all. points around the socket. This shall be done by partially tightening the bottom bolt first, then the top bolt, next the bolts at either side, and last, the remaining bolts, This cycle should be repeated until all bolts are within the required range of torques, if effective seal- ing is not attained at the maximum torque„ the joint shall be disassembled and reassenbled after thorough cleaning. Overstressing of bolts to compensate for poor installation practice shall be avoided. C-3.3, _Jointing Rubber Gasket Joint Pipe., Cast iron pipe with rubber gasket type joints shall be laid and jointed in strict accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations as approved by the Engineer and in accord- ance with the requirements of the Special Specifications. The Contractor shall provide all special tools and devises such as special jacks, chokers, and similar items required for the installation. lubricant for the pipe gaskets shall be furnished by the pipe manufacturer, and no substitutes will be permitted under any circumstances. C-3.4, Electrical Continu_ tyo When so stated in. the Special. Speci- fications, the Contractor shall provide adequate means to permit an electirc current to pass across all pipe joints without excessive voltage drop. The electrical connection shall be made by driving silicon-bronze wedges between the barrel of the pipe and the mouth of the bell where joints using rubber rings are employed. Two such wedges shall be installed per joint on opposite sides of the pipe on the horizontal center Line.. The wedges shall be approxi- mately one inch square and shall be tapered from 1/8 inch to 1/16 inch approxi- mately. The wedges shall have serrated edges to provide good contact. The voltage drop at. 500 amperes current flow shall not. exceed 1 .0 volt per joint. Ift.. ,%./ `-01 C-4.� Settiu, Valves and Fittings. ti. C-4a1. General.

Thrust Backing. Reaction or thrust backing shall be placed as shown on the Plans and shall consist of concrete of a mix not leaner than one cement, two and one-half sand, five stone, having a compressive strength of not less than 2,000 pounds per square inch. Fucking shall, be placed be- tween the undisturbed ground and the fitting to be anchored. The quantity of concrete and the area of bearing on the pipe shall be as shown on the Plans or directed by the Engineer. The backing shall be so placed that, unless specifi- cally shown otherwise on the. Plans, the pipe and fitting joints will be accessible to repairs. C-6,3 , Metal. Harness. Yetal harness or tie rods or clamps of ade- quate strength to prevent movement may be used instead of concrete backing as directed by the Engineer.. Steel rods or clamps shall be galvanized or other- wise rustproof treated as shown on the Plans or directed by the Engineer. C-_6.4.. Anchorage of Hydrants. The bowl of each hydrant shall. be well braced against unexcavated earth at the end of the trench with stone slabs or concrete backing, or it shall be tied to the pipe with suitable metal tie rods or clamps as shown on the Plans or directed by the Engineer. C-7. Hydrostatic Tests. Pressure and leakage tests shall be made on all newly laid pipe or any valved section. of it, or both, unless otherwise speci- fied in the Special Specifications, The Engineer will conduct the tests, but the Contractor shall furnish all necessary assistance, equipment, and material and shall make all taps in the pipe as required, The Contractor shall furnish the following equipment and materials for the tests, unless otherwise specified in the Special Sprecificationso 2 5-gallon graduated containers 2 Pressure gauges I Hydraulic force pump similar and equal to Pacific H.T, '75 as wanufactured by the Pacific Pumping Company of Portland, Oregon Suitable hose and suction pipe as required The tests shall be conducted after the trench has been backfilled or partially backfilled with the joints left exposed for inspection, Where any section of pipe is provided with concrete reaction backing, the pressure test shall not be made until at least five days have elapsed after the concrete re- action backing is installed. If high-early cement is used for the concrete thrust backing, the time may be cut to two days instead of the five previously specified. Pipes jointed with cement shall not be subjected to hydrostatic pressure and inspected and tested for leakage until at least 36 hours have elapsed after the main is filled with water as specified in Item C-7.3. `mol �.s '%�w .� The pressure test shall be conducted in the following manner, unless other- wise specified in the Special Specifications. After the pipe has been back- filled or partially backfilled as he.reinbefore specified, the pipe shall be filled with water. Unless stated otherwise in the Special Specifications, the test pressure shalt. be 1-112 times the normal static pressure, but rot less than 50 pounds per square inch,. C-7.1. Duration. The duration of each pressure test shall be 30 minutes unless otherwise stated in the Special Specifications. C-7.2. ExpellingAir, Before applying the specified test pressure, all air shall be expelled from the pipe. C-7.3. Procedure. Each valved section. of pipe shall be slowly filled with water to replace any lost; and the specified test pressure, mea- sured at the point of lowest elevation, shall be applied by means of a pump connected to the pipe in a satisfactory manner. The pump shall then be valved off, and the pressure shall be held in the line for the test period. At the end of the test period, the pump shall be operated until the test pressure is again attained. The pump suction shall be in a bucket, barrel., or similar device, or through a meter so that the amount of water required to restore the test pressure may be measured accurately. C-7.4. Leakage. Leakage shall be defined as the quantity of water necessary to restore the specified test pressure at the end of the test period. No pipe installation will be accepted unt..il. the Leakage is less than the num- ber of gallons per hour as determined by the formula following: L = ND (P)1/2 5500 in which L = allowable leakage in gallons per hour N = number of joints in the length of pipe tested D = nominal diameter of pipe in inches P = average test pressure during the leakage test in pounds per square inch C-7.5. Correction of Excessive Leakage, Should any test of pipe laid disclose leakage greater than that allowed under Item C-7.4 above, the Contractor shall, at his own expense, locate and repair the defective joints or pipe until. the leakage is within the specified allowance. C-8. Sterilization. Sterilization of new lines shall. be completed by the Contractor prior to connection to the existing system. Prior to chlorination, all dirt and foreign matter shall be flushed from the line. Water shall then be fed slowly into the new line with chlorine applied in amounts to produce a dosage of 40 to 50 ppm. Treated water shall be retained in the pipe for at least 8 hours. A residual of not less than 5 ppm shall be produced in all parts of the line after the 8-hour period has 52 elapsed. The chlorinating agent shall be either a liquid chlorine gas-water mix- .� ture, direct-fed chlorine gas, or a calcium hypochlorite and water moisture. Chlorine gas-water mixture shall be applied by means of a solution-feed chlorinating device. Chlorine gas shall be fed directly from a chlorine cylin- der equipped with suitable device for regulating the rate of flow and provid- ing for effective diffusion of gas within the pipe. Calcium hypochlorite shall be similar and equal to commercial products known as H.T.H. , Perchloron, or Maxochlor. A solution consisting of 5 percent powder to 95 percent water by weight should be prepared, The calcium hypochlorite and water mixture, first made into a paste and then thinned to a slurry, shall be injected or pumped into the newly laid line under the conditions specified hereinbefore. The method of placing concentrated quantities of commercial sterilizers in the line as it is being laid is not a satisfactory method of sterilization and will not be permitted. During the chlorination process, all valves in the main line shall be operated. After chlorination, the water shall be flushed from the line at its extremities until the water tests are equal chemically and bacteriologically to those of the permanent source of supply.

The Contractor shall replace these structures in a condition as good, or better than, their original condition. If interfering power poles, telephone poles, guy wires, or anchors are encountered, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer at least 12 days in advance of construction to permit arrangements with the. utility company for protection or relocation of the structure.- Such structures will not be considered to interfere unless they are within 3 feet of the trench center line, If the Contractor encounters existing structures which will prevent the construction of the pipeline and which are not properly shown on the L Plans, he shall notify the Enginee- before continuing with the construction in order that the Engineer may make such field revisions as necessary to avoid conflict with the existing structures_ If the Contractor shall fail to so notify the Engineer when an existing structure is encountered, but shall proceed with the construction despite this interference, he shall do so at his own risk, When the location of the pipeline as shown on the Plans will prohibit the restoration of an existing structure to its original condition, he shall notify the Engineer in order that a field relocation may be made tj avoid conflict., C^16= Pield Pelocation. During the progress of construction, it is expected that minor relocations of the line will be necessary® Such reloca- tions shall be made only by direction of the Engineer . Unforeseen obstructions encountered as a result of such relocations will not be subjects for claims for additional compensation by the Contractor to any greater extent than would have been the case had the obstruction been encountered along the original location_ C-17.. Obstructions- This item shall refer to obstructions which may be removed and do not require replacement . Obstructions to the construc- tion of the trench such as but not limited to tree roots, stumps, abandoned piling, abandoned concrete structures, logs, and debris of all types, shall be removed by the Contractor at his own expense without additional compen- sation from the Owner . The Engineer will , if requested by the Contractor, make changes in alignment to avoid major obstructions if such alignment changes can be made without adversely affecting the intended functioning of the facility:, The Contractor shall pay all costs resulting from such alignment changes. L C-18 , Excavation Across Cultivated land. When excavating through cultiva land, the topsoil shall be removed and stockpiled on ore side of tke nch and the subsoil piled on the other, Backfill shall be such that the finished surface will be as nearly as practicable to its original condition., C-19., Clearing the Right of Way, Where clearing of the right of way is necessary, it shall be completed prior to the start of the trenching. Trees and brush shall be cut as near to the surface of the ground as practicable and piled for disposal . Disposal shall be by burning unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. The Contractor shall observe all Federal and State laws relating to fire pe-mits and local regulations related to burning such material . Under no condition shall excavated materials be permitted to cover brush or trees prior to clearing and burning„ Cm20, Pavement Removal Unless otherwise noted in the Special Specifications, where trenches are to be dug through paved streets, the pave- ment shall be cut to a straight line on each side of the trench with a power saw or other approved equipment. The width of the pavement cut out shall not be greater tnan the minimum width required for the installation of the pipe. The Contractor shall so conduct the pavement removal operations as to cause the minimum damage possible to the adjacent pavement, After the trench has been backfilled, the pavement cut shall be filled with gravel and shall be maintained level with the adjoining pavement without bumps or chuck holes until the pavement is patched , S;`ANDARD SPECIFICATIONS FOR CAST IRON PIPE AND FITTINGS LS ..� %ftw.

Heating and Pouring of_Lead, Lead shall be heated in a melting pot kept in easy reach of the joint to be poured so that the molten metal will not be chilled in being carried from the melting pot to the joint. The lead shall be brought to a proper temperature so that, when stirred, it will show a rapid change of color. Before pouring, all scum shall be removed from the surface of the molten Lead. Each joint shall be made with one continuous pour., filling the entire joint space with solid lead. Spongy or imperfectly filled joints shall. be burned out and repoured, C-3.1A.2. Position of Joint Runner. , The joint runner shall fit snugly against the face of the bell and the outside of the pipe and shall be dammed with clay to form a pouring lip to provide for filling the joint flush with the face and to the top of the bell. C-3.1 .3..3. Caul.ki.n . After the lead has cooled to the temperature of the pipe, lead joints shall be caulked with pneumatic or hand tools operated by competent workmen un.t.il such joints are thoroughly compacted and watertight, The finished joint shall show a hard and even.-hammered sur- face over all . Care shall be taken not to overstrain the bells during caulk- ing. Lead should be caulked from the barrel toward the bell of the pipe to assure that lead will be forced into the bell groove. C-3,1 .4. Cement Joints. C-3.1 ,4, 1, Proportion_s_of Cement and Water. One quart of cement shall be thoroughly mixed with abo+at 1I4 pint of water, The mixture shall be such that, when it is tightly compressed by hand into a ball and the ball. is broken into two pieces, the break shall be clean. If the hand is water-stained, the mixture is too wet. If these is evidence of crumbling in the break, the mixture is too dry: The cement mixture shall ring with a metallic sound while being caulked, C-3. 1 .4.2, Cause for Rejection. No cement shall be used after having been wet more than one hour or after it has taken its initial set. C-3.1 .4.3. Caulking Cement Joints. Starting at the bottom, the joint space shall be filled with the cement mixture and the mixture caulked, The remaining joint space shall then be refilled and caulked until the joint is practically flush with the face of the belle The mixture shall be thorough- ly compacted to make a watertight joint without overstraining the bell. C-3.1.4.4. Trench Water and Initial Set. No water shall be allowed to touch the joint until the initial set has taken place. C-3.1 .4. 5. Joints K�l+�oist, Cement joints shall be covered immediately with damp burlap or other material approved by the Engi- neer for the proper time to insure complete hydration_ In cold weather, care shall be taken to prevent freezing of the cement mixture before and after the joint is made. C-3.1..4,6. Time Interval._Before Filling Pipe. Pipe laid with cement joints shall not be filled with water before a lapse of twelve hours after the last joint in any valved section has been made, and pressure shall not be permitted in the pipe until all. joints have aged as provided in Item C-7. �Q C-3.2. Jointing Mechanical .joint. Cast Iron l?i e. Mechanical joint cast iron pipe varies slightly with different manufacturers, and the particu- lar pipe furnished shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations as approved by the Engineer. In general, the procedure shall be as hereinafter specified. The ends of the pipe shall be cleaned of all dirt, mud, and foreign matter by washing with water and scrubbing vigorous- ly with a wire brush, after which the gland and gasket shall be slipped on the plain end. If necessary, the pipe end may be lubricated with soapy water to facilitate sliding the gasket in place. The end of the pipe shall then be guided carefully into the bell of the pipe previously laid. The spigot shall be centrally located in the bell., the gasket placed in position, and the bolts inserted in the holes. Torque ranges to be applied to cast iron bolts and wrench lengths which should produce the required torque when. applied by the average man should be as follows- Diameter Torque Range Wrench of Bolt-In. ._Ft,, - -Lbs. Length In• 5/8 40 60 8 3/4 60 90 10 1 70 100 12 1-1/4 90 120 14 When tightening bolts, the gland should be brought up toward the flange evenly, maintaining approximately the same distance between the gland and the face of the flange at all. points around the socket. This shall be done by partially tightening the bottom bolt first, then the top bolt, next the bolts at either side, and last, the remaining bolts. This cycle should be repeated until all bolts are within the required range of torques. If effective seal- ing is not attained at the maximum torque, the joint shall be disassembled and reassembled after thorough cleaning. Overstressing of bolts to compensate for poor installation practice shall be avoided, C-3.3. :jointing Rubber. Gasket Joint Pipe., Cast iron pipe with rubber gasket type joints shall be laid and jointed in strict accordance with the manufacturer's .recommendations as approved by the Engineer and in accord- ance with the requirements of the Special Specifications. The Contractor shall. provide all special tools and devices such as special jacks, chokers, and similar items required for the installation. Lubricant for the pipe gaskets shall be furnished by the pipe manufacturer, and no substitutes will be permitted under any circumstances, C-3.4e Electrical Continuit . When so stated in the Special. Speci- fications, the Contractor shall provide adequate means to permit an electirc current to pass across all pipe joints without excessive voltage drop. The electrical connection shall be made by driving silicon-bronze wedges between the barrel of the pipe and the mouth of the bell where joints using rubber rings are employed. Two such wedges shall be installed per joint on opposite sides of the pipe on the horizontal center line. The wedges shall be approxi- mately one inch square and shall be tapered from 1/8 inch to 1/16 inch approxi- mately. The wedges shall have serrated edges to provide good contact. The voltage drop at 500 amperes current flow shall not exceed 1 .0 volt per joint, C-4. Setting Valves and Fittings, C-4.1. general .. Valves, fittings, plugs, and caps shall be set and jointed to pipe in the manner hereinbefore specified for cleaning, laying and jointing pipe. C-4.2. Location of Valves. Valves in. water mains shall., whtare possible, be located on the street property lines extended unless otherwise shown on the Plans C-4.3. Valve Boxes, A valve box shall be provided for every valve which has no gearing or operating mechanism or in which the gearing or operat- ing mechanism is not fully protected with a cast iron grease case. The valve box shall not transmit shock or stress to the valve and shall be centered and plumb over the wrench nut of the valve with the box cover flush with the sur- face of the finished pavement or such other level. as may be directed by the Engineer. C-5. Setting H drants_ C®5.1. Location. Hydrapt.s shall be located as shown on. the Plans or as directed by the Engineer in a manner to provide complete accessibility and to minimize the possibility of damage from vehicles or injury to pedes- trians. If hydrant locations are not shown on the PI.ars, the following condi- tions shall govern: When placed behind the curb and where no Lawn space exists, the hydrant barrel shall be sit so that no portion of the pumper or hose nozzle cap will. be less than 6 inches nor more than 12 inches from the gutter face of the curb. When set in the lawn space between the cyirb and the sidewalk or between the sidewalk and the property line, no portion of the hydrant or nozzle cap shall be within. 6 inches of the sidewalk or the gutter face of the curb. C-5.2 _ Position. All hydrants shall. stand plumb and shall have their nozzles parallel with or at right angles to the curb with the pumper nozzle facing the curb, except that hydrants having two hose nozzles 90 de- grees apart shall be set with each nozzle facing the curb at an angle of 45 degrees. Hydrants shall. be set to the established grade with nozzles at least 12 inches above the ground as shown on the Plans or as directed by the Engineer. C-5.3. Connection to Main. Each hydrant shall be connected to the main with a 6-inch cast iron branch controlled by an independent 6- inch gate valve, unless otherwise specified or shown on the Plans. C-5.4. Hydrant. Drainage. Unless otherwise specified in the Plans or Special Specifications, hydrant drainage shall be provided at: the base of the hydrant by placing gravel or crushed stone from the bottom of the trench to at least 6 inches above the waste opening in the hydrant and to a distance of 1 foot around the elbow. No drainage system shall. be connected to a sewer. A concrete base at least 12 inches square by 4 inches deep shall be provided for all hydrants. 'I— .., C-6_. Anchorage. G-6 1. Limiting Pile Diameter and eDegree o.f. Bend, On all pipe lines 4 inches in diameter or larger, all tees, plugs, caps, and bends exceeding 22-1/2 degrees and other locations where unbalanced forces exist shall be securely anchored by suitable thrust backing as shown on the Plans or herein- after specified, C-6,2.�Thrust Backing„ Reaction or thrust backing shall be placed as shown on the Plans and shall consist of concrete of a mix not leaner than one cement, two and one-half sand, five stone, having a compressive strength of not less than 2,000 pounds per square inch. Backing shall be placed be- tween the undisturbed ground and the fitting to be anchored. The quantity of concrete and the area of bearing on the pipe shall, be as shown on the Plans or directed by the Engineer. The backing shall be so placed that, unless specifi- cally shown otherwise on the Plans, the pipe and fitting joints will be accessible to repairs, C-6>3. Metal Harness Metal harness or tie rods or clamps of ade- quate strength to prevent movement may be used instead of concrete backing as directed by the Engineer„ Steel rods or clamps shall. be galvanized or other- wise rustproof treated as shown on the Plans or directed by the Engineer. C-6o4. Anchorage of hydrants. The bowl of each hydrant shall be well braced against unexcavated earth at the end of the trench with stone slabs or concrete backing, or it shall. be tied to the pipe with suitable metal tie rods or clamps as shown on the Plans or directed by the Engineer. C-7. Hydrostatic Tests. Pressure and leakage tests shall be made on all .�- newly laid pipe or any valved section of it, or both, unless otherwise speci- fied in the Special Specifications. The Engineer will conduct the tests, but the Contractor shall furnish all necessary assistance, equipment, and material and shal.l. make all taps in the pipe as required,. The Contractor shal.l furnish the following equipment and materials for the tests, unless otherwise specified in the Special Spr.ecificationsa 2 5-gallon graduated containers 2 Pressure gauges 1. Hydraulic force pump similar and equal. to Pacific H.T, 75 as manufactured by the Pacific Pumping Company of Portland, Oregon Suitable hose and suction pipe as required The tests shall be conducted after the trench has been backfilled or partially backfil.led with the joints left exposed for inspection, Where any section of pipe is provided with concrete reaction backing, the pressure test shall not be made until at least five days have elapsed after the concrete re- action backing is installed. If high-early cement is used for the concrete thrust backing, the time may be cut to two days instead of the five previously specified. Pipes jointed with cement shall not be subjected to hydrostatic pressure and inspected and tested for leakage until at least 36 hours have elapsed after the main is filled with water as specified in Items C-7,3. ` , The pressure test shall be conducted in the following manner, unless other- wise specified in the Special Specifications. After the pipe has been back- filled or partially backfi.11.ed as hereinbef.ore specified, the pipe shall be filled with water. Unless stated otherwise in the Special Specifications, the test pressure shall. be 1-1/2 times the normal static pressure, but not less than 50 pounds per square inch,. C-7 1. Duration, The duration of each pressure test shall be 30 minutes unless otherwise stated in the Special. Specifications. CC-7.2. E_x elling Air. Before applying the specified test pressure, all air shall. be expelled from the pipe. C-7.3. Procedure. Each valved section of pipe shall be slowly filled with water to replace any lost? and the specified test pressure, mea- sured at the point of .Lowest elevation, shall be applied by means of a pump connected to the pipe in a satisfactory manner. The pump shalt then be valved off, and the pressure shall be held in the line for the test period. At the end of the test period, the pump shall be operated until the test pressure is again attained. The pump suction shall be in a bucket, barrel, or similar device, or through a meter so that the amount of wager required to restore the test pressure may be measured accurately, C-7.4. L,eaka�e. Leakage shall be defined as the quantity of water necessary to restore the. specified test pressure at the er..d of the test period. No pipe installation will be accepted until the leakage is less than the num- ber of gallons per hour as determined by the formula following: L - ND FP 1,/2 5.500 in which L = allowable leakage in gallons per hour N = number of joints in the length of pipe tested D = nominal diameter of pipe in inches P = average test pressure during the leakage test in pounds per sgitare inch C-7.5. Corrections of Excessive IceakaLit. Should any test of pipe laid disclose leakage greater than that allowed under Item C-7.4 above, the Contractor shall, at his own expense, locate and repair the defective joints or pipe until. the leakage is within the specified allowance. C-8. Sterilization. Sterilization. of new lines shall. be completed by the Contractor prior to connection to the existing system. Prior to chlorination, all dirt and foreign matter shall be flushed from the line. Water shall then be fed slowly into the new line with chlorine applied in amounts to produce a dosage of 4.0 to 50 ppm. Treated water shall �.. be retained in the pipe for at. least 8 hours. A residual of not less than 5 ppm shall, be produced in all parts of the line after the 8-hour period has S2 elapsed, The chlorinating agent shall be either a liquid chlorine gas-water mix- ture, direct-fed chlorine gas, or a calcium hypochlorite and water moisture. Chlorine gas-water mixture shall be applied by means of a solution-feed chlorinating device. Chlorine gas shall be fed directly from a chlorine cylin- der equipped with suitable device for regulating the rate of flow and provid- ing for effective diffusion of gas within the pipe. Calcium hypochlorite shall be similar and equal to commercial products known as H.T.H. , Perchloron, or Maxochlor. A solution consisting of 5 percent powder to 95 percent water by weight should be prepared. The calcium hypochlorite and water mixture, first made into a paste and then thinned to a slurry, shall be injected or pumped into the newly laid line under the conditions specified hereinbefore. The method of placing concentrated quantities of commercial sterilizers in the line as it is being laid is not a satisfactory method of sterilization and will not be permitted. During the chlorination process, all valves in the main line shall be operated. After chlorination, the water shall. be flushed from the line at its extremities until the water tests are equal chemically and bacteriologically to those of the permanent source of supply.
