Committee Report: Design and installation of PE pipe
PE piping made in accordance with AWWA C906‐90 is a sturdy, tough, and durable material ideal for direct burial, no‐dig, and marine installations.
The AWWA Polyolefin Pressure Pipe and Fittings Committee is developing a manual that will focus solely on the design and installation of polyethylene piping made in accordance with AWWA C906‐90. Because development will take at least another year, the committee has produced this report to provide guidance on properly designing and installing PE materials in the meantime. This report discusses the composition and properties of PE piping, including its density, toughness, and ductility; outlines major applications for the material; presents essential design criteria; and offers guidelines on joining, installing, and pressure‐testing PE pipe. A section on marine installations covers selecting an appropriate site and assembling, launching, and submerging pipe.
