Packaging, Ordering and Shipping Information Pipe comes in 15, 25 and 30 ft. (5, 7.6 and 9.2 meter) random lengths. The number of lengths per bundle varies with the pipe diameter. Two-inch pipe is supplied with a protective mesh covering. The protective mesh covering must remain in place on primary pipe that is not contained. However, the protective mesh covering may be removed when installed in containment pipe. TABLE 1.

Fittings and adhesives should be stored in a cool dry area. If fittings are removed from the boxes, protect machined bells and spigots from exposure to direct sunlight. Storing Bundles can be safely stored on level ground or on racks with 10 foot (3 m) or less support spacing. Avoid point loads. Use supports with a minimum of four -inch (100 mm) wide bearing area to prevent damage to the pipe. Do not store onroc k s or other hard objects that could cause point -loading damage. When outdoor storage is required, check to assure the pipes! protective end caps are in place to protect the spigots and insides of the bells from weathering. Use black polyethylene or other ultraviolet ray blocking material to cover all factory -prepared bonding surfaces if end caps are missing or not available. Transporting Use reasonable care in handling the pipe and fittings. When transporting from storage to the job site, do not allow pipe to extend more than 10 feet ( 3 m) beyond the end of the truck or trailer bed; permanent damage can result from excessive bending stress. Protect pipe to prevent impact and point -loading damage. NOTE: During transport, strap the pipe down with nylon or hemp rope tie downs. This will help prevent abnormal movement of the pipe during transportation. Wood or padded supports are essential for truck or trailer beds that have sharp edges (such as metal plates on the back of a flat-bed trailer). When transporting the pipe on trucks with narrow overhead piping racks (11/2" to 2"/40 mm to 50 mm in width or diameter), padded supports must be used to prevent point loads. If chains are used during transport, they must also be well padded to prevent damage to pipe walls. Loading and Unloading When the pipe is not specially packaged, it should be loaded and unloaded by hand. When property palletized or otherwise adequately protected, forklifts may be used. Do not throw or drop pipe and/or fittings from the truck to the ground. Protect pipe and fittings from point -loading or impact damage at all times.
