Driscopipe of <br /> Richardson, TX, Model Driscopipe 1000 pipe and Plexco of Benseville, IL, <br /> Model Plexco PE 3408 Industrial Piping meet these reqirements. <br /> 2. The polyethylene compound shall be suitably protected against degradation <br /> by ultraviolet light by means of carbon black, well dispersed by <br /> precompounding in a concentration of not less than 2 percent. <br /> 3. The maximum allowable hoop stress shall be 800 psi at 73.4° F. <br /> 4. The pipe manufacturer shall be listed with the Plastic Pipe Institute as <br /> meeting the recipe and mixing requirements of the resin manufacturer for <br /> the resin used to manufacture the pipe for this project. <br /> 5. Pipe sizes shall conform to ASTM F714. <br /> 6. The pipe shall conform to the following schedule: <br /> Piping System and/or <br /> Nominal Pipe Location SDR <br /> Size <br /> 6 inch Perforated Leachate 11 <br /> Collection Pipes <br /> 7. Perforate 6-inch pipe with 1/2-inch diameter holes drilled on thirds, spaced <br /> 6-inches on center. <br /> 2.2 FITTINGS <br /> A. Polyethylene fittings shall be molded for sizes 6-inch and smaller and shall be <br /> fabricated from polyethylene pipe for sizes 8-inch and larger, by means of thermal <br /> butt-fusion. The ends of the fabricated fittings shall not be trimmed to match the <br /> pipe section to which they are going to be joined. All polyethylene fittings shall <br /> have the same or higher pressure rating as the pipe when installed in accordance <br /> with the latest technical specifications. <br /> 2.3 JOINTS <br /> A. Thermal butt-fusion, except where connecting to unions, valves, and equipment <br /> with threaded connections that may require future disassembly. <br /> 2.4 HDPE TANKS <br /> A.
