This guide is the most concise and authoritative available for the installation of PVC gasket-joint pressure and non-pressure pipes and fittings. Written and sponsored by the Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association, it contains up-to-date information and comes complete with practical associated tables and figures that will help users to be more effective and efficient at installing PVC piping systems. This work provides preferred methods of installation based on field experience, published reports, and other industry sources. The guide's unique, easy-to-use reversible-book format provides two valuable guides in one--for working on water pipes or sewer pipes--making it easy for readers to quickly access the specific information they are seeking, be it on the job, in training, or studying for certification. Benefits of the Guide The Contractor's Guide provides value to several stakeholders: Contractors--Following this work's recommendations can improve job efficiency, reduce potential pipeline problems, and help ensure maximum performance. Owners--Proper installation helps ensure the maximum service life for piping systems. Workers (Training)--This guide can serve as a reference prior to undertaking a pipeline project. Workers (Certification)--In jurisdictions where installers are required to be certified, this work can serve as an invaluable study resource.

The Most Thorough and Far-reaching Revision Yet! The new 5th edition of the Handbook of PVC Pipe Design and Construction is the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference on PVC pipe and fittings. It provides practical engineering and construction information. It includes recommendations applicable to the design and use of primarily underground PVC piping systems in both pressure and non-pressure applications. Previous editions have been used by engineers all across North America and around the globe in the utility and consulting engineering sectors, as well as in universities and technical institutions. New to the Fifth Edition Four new chapters PVC Pressure Pipe Installation PVC Non-Pressure Pipe Installation Trenchless Installation of PVC Pipe Molecularly Oriented Polyvinyl Chloride Pipe (PVCO) Updated and improved graphs and tables More open page format The collaborative result of thousands of hours of research and review, the contents of the 5th edition are numerically formatted by section and subsection, as well as by figure and table designation. This allows easy reference and quick access. The Handbook of PVC Pipe Design and Construction is a must-have reference for design engineers, public and private pipe utility managers, and students. A more complete text on PVC pipe is not available.

This comprehensive manual of water supply practices explains the design, selection, specification, installation, transportation, and pressure testing of concrete pressure pipes in potable water service.

"This manual provides the user with both general and technical information to aid in design, procurement, installation, and maintenance of PVC pipe and fittings. This manual presents a discussion of recommended practices"--

Provides practical information about the design and installation of ductile iron pressure piping systems for water utilities. The 12 chapters outlines the procedure for calculating pipe wall thickness and class, and describes the types of joints, fittings, valves, linings, and corrosion protection a

Published by the Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI), the Handbook describes how polyethylene piping systems continue to provide utilities with a cost-effective solution to rehabilitate the underground infrastructure. The book will assist in designing and installing PE piping systems that can protect utilities and other end users from corrosion, earthquake damage and water loss due to leaky and corroded pipes and joints.
