Assembly equipment 47 Do not store products on unstable or sloping ground.

Avoid:
Pipe cutting 53 •Marshy ground
•Contaminated ground
Locking weld bead 61
•Placing pipes directly on the ground
Anchor blocks 65 Support beams, spacers and chocks must be made from construction-grade
lumber without any brittle knots. The minimum dimensions are specified in the
Anchoring 69 following tables.

2 STORE THE GASKETS
External coating repairs 77 (according to the latest version of ISO 2230)
Internal lining repairs 81 In particular, avoid:
•Removing gaskets from their bags
Repair products 83
•Exposing gaskets to sunlight
Polyethylene sleeve 87 •High storage temperatures
Ovality correction 93 Restrict storage times.

Storage life: in ten years for EPDM (drinking water systems) and seven
Dismantling joints 97 years for other gaskets in optimal storage conditions (contact us for our
recommendations).
Repairing pipes 103
Refer to ISO 2230:2002 - Rubber products - Guidelines for storage
Branches for sewage pipes 109 When installing pipes at low temperatures, bring rings up to a
temperature of 20°C to ensure maximum flexibility (such as by
Video tutorials 117 immersing them in warm water).

Locking weld bead on site
Creating the weld bead

1 REQUIRED EQUIPMENT
•Electric welding machine with a minimum capacity of 150 amperes.
•Electric or pneumatic grinder.
•Copper guide in accordance with the table on the next page.
•Recommended electrodes: ferro-nickel electrodes - Ø3.2 mm Solid wire: FeNi
alloy with 55% Ni according to ISO 1071. Electrode grades are available as SC
Ni Fe1 and SC Ni Fe2.
•Ref. 158179 5 kg box of electrodes (160 electrodes).
2 SURFACE PREPARATION
Draw the position of the bead using the copper
guide while complying with dimension a.
Prepare the surface to be welded by

lightly grinding (i.e. grinding all coatings
without affecting the thickness of the
iron) over a strip of approximately 50
mm.
Position the copper guide ahead of the

weld while complying with dimension a.
The guide must fit snugly around the whole
circumference of the pipe. Tap with a hammer
if necessary.
3 DEPOSIT THE LOCKING WELD

BEAD
Weld against the guide to obtain a flat vertical
face at right angles to the pipe's surface.
Preferably work the weld between marks A and

B by turning the pipe.
The electrode must be positioned at an angle of 5°. 5o

Anchor blocks
All the values contained in this document are provided by SAINT-GOBAIN
PAM for guidance only. They are no substitute for carrying out prior studies or
enlisting the services of a consultant.
1 CONSTRUCTION RECOMMENDATIONS
The concrete anchor blocks presented hereinafter have been designed for the
most frequently encountered types of soil and laying conditions.
If the laying conditions are not covered by the following tables, contact
SAINT-GOBAIN PAM.
It is important to cast the

concrete directly against the
surrounding soil and use a
concrete mix offering adequate
strength.
When designing the anchor

blocks, do not forget to leave
the gaskets exposed for
inspection during subsequent hydraulic
testing.
Caution! Never excavate in the

immediate vicinity of an anchor
block restraining thrust without
having taken the precaution of
sufficiently reducing the pressure in the
main during work.

Anchoring Hydraulic testing
A safety factor may be applied to the length to be anchored, depending on

the:
•Laying conditions The contractor is responsible for analyzing and eliminating
•Quality and compaction of the backfill any risks during installation (especially the use of personal
•Uncertainties surrounding the physical characteristics of the backfill protective equipment).
Where applicable, allowance should be made for any partial presence of

groundwater by correcting the weight of the full pipe and applying the
corresponding Archimedes' value.
1 PREPARATION FOR THE TEST
If using a polyethylene sleeve: Recommendations
Apply a multiplier of 1.9 to the length to be anchored. The recommendation is to not exceed a length of 2,000
meters.
If using pipes with a polyethylene (TT) or polyurethane (PUX) The length of the section to be tested depends on the layout

configuration and the project's technical specifications.
Apply a multiplier of 1.5 to the length to be anchored.
Depending on the type of worksite, it is better to pressurize the pipeline while
leaving the joints exposed to check for leaks.

General instructions Sleeving the barrel
The process of fitting a PE sleeve involves applying a continuous barrel sleeve
(outside the trench) and subsequently a joint sleeve (at the bottom of the NATURAL, INTEGRAL (ZINALIUM + BIOZINALIUM), ZMU, STANDARD
trench). TT and INTEGRAL TT pipes do not require sleeves.
•Pipes must be clean and dry (no soil entrapped between the pipe and sleeve).
•The pipe bed and backfill must not contain any stones or fragmented rock
that could damage the sleeve during laying or in service (soil load).
1 SLIDE
Before lowering into the trench, lift the pipe in the middle (refer to the
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS "Handling" guide) and slide the pleated barrel sleeve over the spigot.
2 UNFOLD

3 FASTEN
Secure the fold down with adhesive tape.
Fix the ends of the sleeve to the pipe barrel with adhesive tape overlapping
both the barrel and the sleeve (around the full circumference).
Add fasteners (plastic-coated steel wire) every 1.5 m.
Slip on the joint sleeve.
