Importance of Thrust Blocks for Pipe Installations
This article discusses the importance of providing sufficient thrust blocking for pipe installations due to the likelihood of shock pressure, surges, and soil movement from freezing and thawing cycles. The article begins by providing a brief overview of new materials used for pipes, the wide variety of joints that are available, and sealing materials. Necessary blocking, however, is required with joints that do not provide protection against the movement of fittings and plugs. Installation of mains, leaks, supports, water hammer, and safe bearing load and thrust are all discussed.
