NOTES:
SEE SPECIAL NOTES ENTITLED "OWNER REQUIREMENTS FOR WATER MAINS AND APPURTENANCES" FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THRUST RESTRAINT REQUIREMENTS. 2. THRUST RESTRAINT USING THRUST BLOCKS OR RESTRAINED LENGTHS ARE SHOWN ON THESE SHEETS. THRUST BLOCKS, RESTRAINED JOINTS USING TIE RODS, OR RETAINER GLANDS ARE ALL ACCEPTABLE METHODS TO NYSDOT. HOWEVER, THE THRUST RESTRAINT METHOD SELECTED SHALL BE APPROVED BY THE SYSTEM OWNER. 3. IF THE OWNER OF THE WATER SYSTEM REQUIRES A METHOD THAT RESTRAINS INDIVIDUAL JOINTS, EACH JOINT THAT FALLS WITHIN THE MINIMUM RESTRAINED LENGTH, MEASURED FROM THE CENTER OF THE FITTING, AS SHOWN ON THESE SHEETS SHALL BE RESTRAINED, AND SHALL WITHSTAND THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE SYSTEM.
