Pipe shall be laid with the bell pointing away from the last joint. Pipe sockets and barrels shall be <br />clean and free from dirt at all times. <br />Comply with manufacturer's recommendations for assembly of joint components, lubrication, <br />and making of joints. When pipe laying is interrupted, secure piping against movement and seal <br />open ends to prevent the entrance of water, mud, or foreign material. <br />Mark, or verify that pipe ends are marked, to indicate insertion stop position, and ensure that <br />pipe is inserted into pipe or fitting bells to this mark. Push spigot into bell using methods <br />recommended by the manufacturer, keeping pipe true to line and grade. Protect the end of the <br />pipe during homing and do not use excessive force that may result in over-assembled joints or <br />dislodged gaskets. If full entry is not achieved, disassemble and clean the joint and reassemble. <br />Use only lubricant supplied or recommended for use by the pipe manufacturer. <br />When making solvent cement joints, follow recommendations of both the pipe and solvent <br />cement manufacturer. If full entry is not achieved, disassemble or remove and replace the joint. <br />Allow freshly made joints to set for the recommended time before rnoving, burying, or otherwise <br />disturbing the pipe. <br />When the pipe joint has been checked for line and grade, the bedding material shall be applied to <br />the springline of the pipe or as set forth in the drawings, and cornpacted by hand tamps or hand- <br />held mechanical tamps, taking care not to damage or displace the pipe. <br />On pressure lines, all gasket joint or mechanical joint dead ends, fittings, flush valves, fire <br />hydrants and offsets shall have Class D concrete thrust reaction blocking placed to provide for <br />pressure reaction, as set forth in the drawings. <br />Where specifically called for on the drawings, additional joint restraints shall be provided. <br />All pipe shall then be further embedded and backfilled as set forth in the drawings andlor as <br />described herein. <br />On highway right-of-way, backfill methods shall conform to the OWNER'S permits or as set <br />forth herein and in the drawings, whichever is more restrictive. <br />All embedment material shall be per Table I. It shall not be the "grassed-off' overburden stripped <br />from the site, but may be trench "tailings", provided these meet the requirements of Table I. <br />Where suitable embedment material, and/or suitable material for backfilling does not exist on the <br />job site, the CONTRACTOR shall furnish such material from off the job site at his expense, and <br />also dispose of the unsuitable material removed from the trench off of the job site, at his expense. <br />Place embedment materials by methods that will not disturb or damage the pipe. Work in and <br />tamp the haunching material in the area between the bedding and the underside of the pipe before <br />placing and compacting the rernainder of the embedment in the pipe zone. Follow compaction <br />82 <br />
