Handling and Installation (2)

Piping System Guidelines

uPVC Plumbing System, CPVC Plumbing System, Borewell Piping System, Agricultural Piping System, SWR Piping System and Foamcore Piping System

Do’s

stylized-like-hand 1
  • Check the chemical suitability while deciding the pipeline for chemical application. Also check the thread sealants and fire stop materials for the contents before recommending for use (For CPVC pipes only)
  • Consider provision for expansion and contraction of piping installation
  • Consider pressure de-rating factor for use of pipe line at higher temperatures

Dont’s

stylized-like-hand 1
  • Do not use CPVC piping system for non-recommended chemicals such as polar organic solvents, anti-freezing solutions, dish washing liquids etc., as mentioned in chemical resistance chart

Do’s

stylized-like-hand 1
  • Store the pipes on flat surface under covered area
  • Use flat bodied vehicle for transportation of pipes
  • Pipes may be stored on timber support of at least 75mm width & breadth, placed at the interval of 1.2 meters
  • While stacking socketed pipes, stack the pipe with socket protruding at alternate ends
  • The stacking height of pipe stack shall not be more than 1.5 meters

Dont’s

stylized-like-hand 1
  • Do not drag or drop/throw the pipes while loading/unloading & shifting
  • Do not overhang the pipes out of vehicle body while transporting
  • Do not stack the pipes with all the socket ends together on one side
  • Do not stack the pipes for more than 1.5 meters height

CUTTING

Rectangle 4517

Do’s

stylized-like-hand 1
  • It is imperative to mark the pipe from all sides so that the pipe is cut with the help of a Hand Saw. It should be a right angle cut from all the sides. The cut piece should not be with burr on edge

Dont’s

stylized-like-hand 1
  • Do not cut unevenly

CHAMFERING

Rectangle 4517 (3)

Do’s

stylized-like-hand 1
  • After cutting, the pipe needs to be chamfered on the outer sides. It is advisable to provide approximately 2 mm wide,15˚Chamfer on spigot end

Dont’s

stylized-like-hand 1
  • Do not proceed with installation of pipe without chamfering

DEBURRING AND RIDGE REMOVAL

Rectangle 4517 (2)

Do’s

stylized-like-hand 1

Dont’s

stylized-like-hand 1
  • Do not proceed with the installation of pipe without deburring

DRYFIT TEST

Rectangle 4517

Do’s

stylized-like-hand 1
  • Before applying solvent cement ,insert the pipe end into the socket of the next pipe or fitting to check that interference occurs at about 1/3 to 2/3 of the socket depth

Dont’s

stylized-like-hand 1
  • Do not apply solvent cement without dryfit test

CLEANING

Rectangle 4517

Do’s

stylized-like-hand 1
  • Thoroughly clean the pipe with a dry cloth where the solvent cement is going to be applied to avoid dust,dirt, oil, moisture and other foreign material during the installation process

Dont’s

stylized-like-hand 1
  • Do not join the pipes without cleaning the pipe ends

APPLICATION OF SOLVENT CEMENT

Rectangle 4517

Do’s

stylized-like-hand 1
  • Mark the pipe length to be inserted for jointing. Apply a liberal coat of solvent cement with the help of the brush on the marked surface

Dont’s

stylized-like-hand 1
  • Do not apply excess solvent cement on the pipe and do not use solvent cement by hand

JOINTING

Rectangle 4518

Do’s

stylized-like-hand 1
  • Push the pipe inside the fitting / pipe so that it goes inside equally from all the sides. Wipe off excess solvent cement that comes out from all the edges. Hold the joint for one to two minutes so that the jointing is perfect

Dont’s

stylized-like-hand 1
  • Do not use a hammer or push the pipe

INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING

Rectangle 4519

Do’s

stylized-like-hand 1
  • Pipeline should be installed in proper alignment & along with necessary clamps
  • Pressure testing to be done before conceal work
  • Pressure testing may be carried out after a curing period of 24 hrs
  • Keep at least 200mm distance from geyser for pipeline passing nearby

Dont’s

stylized-like-hand 1
  • Avoid loose joints & misalignments
