Observe and implement as part of field procedures, the following requirements for DI, PE and
uPVC piping:
1. All pipes shall be stacked on a reasonably flat surface free from sharp projections, stones or
other protuberances likely to deform them. If necessary, level the ground at the storage point
by means of a vehicle fitted with a scraper blade in order that pipes may be uniformly
supported throughout their length.
2. Side supports in the form of wooden posts, not less than 75 mm square shall be provided at
not more than 1500 mm intervals along the pipe length. Stack widths shall not exceed 2000
mm.
3. When socketed pipes are stacked, the sockets shall be placed at alternate ends of the stack
with the sockets protruding so pipes are evenly supported along their entire length.
4. Pipes of different sizes or wall thickness shall be stacked separately, or where this is not
possible, those with larger diameter and thicker walls shall be at the bottom.
5. No piping shall be exposed to direct sunlight for more than two weeks during installation.
The pipes shall be stored under a protective tarpaulin cover, which shall not leave any pipe

9. The cutting of pipes for inserting valves, fittings or closure pieces shall be done in a neat
and workmanlike manner without damage to the pipes or lining and so as to leave a smooth
end at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the pipes. When machine cutting is not
available for cutting metal pipe 500 mm in diameter or larger, the electric-arc cutting
method is permitted. Only qualified and experienced workmen shall be employed on this
work. Flame cutting of pipes by means of an oxyacetylene torch shall not be allowed.

The pipes shall then be laid with the aid of a straight edge, which shall rest truly in the invert of
the pipe previously laid, the pipe being laid on the nearest peg. The pegs shall be removed as

Connect a glass U tube gauge (manometer) to one of the sealing plugs and a means of
applying air pressure to another sealing plug or stopper inserted in the section of pipework
under test. Manometer and air pressure source shall be located at opposite ends of the
pipework under test.
3. Pump air into test section until pressure, slightly higher than 100 mm water gauge for pipelines
