sched 40 and glue

 

I would recommend gasketed pipe for anything over 3" with thrust blocks and/or restraints.

 

sched 40 and glue

I don't think glued fittings will hold @ 150 PSI;

Maximum operating pressure for 6" SCD 40 PVC is 106 lbs, 133PSI for 4", bursting pressure is higher.

I would go for gasketed pipe with thrust blocks and/or restraints like the irrigator suggested, or flanged fittings.

i stand corrected, didn't pay attention to the psi v size

 

PVC vs. HDPE.
I'm too medicated to comment much.
If I were to go with PVC at that size it certainly would be gasketed.

 

Gasketed pipe and thrust block's.

 

My rule of thumb, anything over 2.5" should be gasket.

 

Dealing with this flow and pressure is a different "ballgame" then residential or light commercial work. There is definately a learning curve. It might be a good idea to see if you can work with someone who has done this type of work before, you will avoid any costly and embarassing mistakes and learn along the way. Just my two cents.

 

On pipe that size, gasketed is the way, the truth and the no leak. Come-alongs and a beefy crew are needed.

 

Here's some info;

 

Need one of those pipe pullers mcc USA inc. sells. Posted a pic of it not too long ago. If I wasn't laying Gregg in words with friends I'd go find it.

What are you doing with Greg? Keep your alternative lifestyle to yourself.

go hug a baby turtle, you hater

 

If you are messing with anything over 4" you need a pipe puller. MCC is not the only one.

 

we did a flow test today. BIG WATER!

 

Install monster impact heads!!

 

Those center pivot irrigation system's have some of the biggest impact head's i have ever seen.

A lot of those end guns are Nelson SR series. I have used them for dust control at horse farms.

So do you know how many gallon's one of those center pivot's use's in whole revolution ?

 

well they finally got their act together and figured out what they wanted. They are applying for grant money from the county so the county provided these plans. they will also come out to inspect the project and if it is not to their specs they don't pay out. the two maps join they are on the north and south sides of a road. any thoughts?

 

Steel pipe w/ ductile, bolted fitting's where it cross's the road. Major thrustblock's at all bend's and end's.

 

Kind of hard to tell without reading the specs.

 

How are you going to cross the road ? If a public road a permit will probably be required, which means that portion of the work will be subject to inspection. Surety bond to cover any damage to the road whether you bore or do an open cut may be required as part of the permit process.

What specs? This is our favorite County in the NE to bash, after all. :hammerhead: Unless there is some paperwork we've not seen, they've taken "design/build" to a whole new level!

There is an existing steel sleeve under the road
