How to fill out AWWA Ductile Iron pipe – grooved Couplings

1. Gather the necessary tools: Ensure you have a pipe cutter, measuring tape, and spanner wrenches.
2. Measure the length of the ductile iron pipe where the coupling will be installed.
3. Cut the pipe to the desired length using the pipe cutter, ensuring clean, straight edges.
4. Clean the ends of the pipe to remove any debris or rust that could affect the coupling fit.
5. Align the grooved ends of the two pipes you wish to connect.
6. Place the grooved coupling over the aligned pipe ends.
7. Ensure the coupling is centered and that the grooves are properly engaged.
8. Insert bolts through the coupling and into the corresponding holes, making sure the gaskets are correctly positioned.
9. Tighten the bolts evenly using the spanner wrenches, following a crisscross pattern to ensure even pressure.
10. Check for proper alignment and tightness, and perform a pressure test if necessary.

Who needs AWWA Ductile Iron pipe – grooved Couplings?

1. Municipal water supply and wastewater treatment facilities.
2. Construction companies involved in pipeline installation.

People Also Ask about

Can a ductile iron pipe be bent?

Just like flexible pipes, ductile iron can undergo significant deflections without damage. However, the allowable deflection for ductile iron pipe is normally limited to 3%. This limitation is imposed to protect the cement-mortar lining on the inside of ductile iron water pipe.

Are Victaulic fittings ductile iron?

Victaulic Grooved joint ductile iron fittings are used primarily for above ground ductile iron piping systems. The Victaulic system saves time during installation and provides some field flexibility for some of the common challenges facing the mechanical contractor.

Can ductile iron pipe be grooved?

Grooved Ductile iron pipe (DI pipe) is manufactured in accordance with AWWA/ANSI C606. Grooved DI piping is utilized for air, water, sewage, oil and other situations where owners and specifiers prefer a grooved piping system in place of a flanged piping system.

What are the standards for ductile iron fittings?

For the 3- to 24-in. (80- to 600-mm) size range, ductile-iron mechanical- joint fittings and ductile-iron push-on-joint fittings are rated for 350-psi (2,413-kPa) working pressure. Ductile-iron flange-joint fittings are rated for 250-psi (1,724-kPa) working pressure; however, 24-in.

What are the different types of grooved couplings?

There are two types of basic grooved couplings: Flexible grooved coupling that allows a limited amount of angular movement. Rigid grooved coupling that does not allow movement and is similar to a fanged or a welded pipe joint.

Can ductile iron be grooved?

Grooved ductile iron pipe fittings and flanges are commonly used in rigid pipe systems, above-ground pipe installations, and in tight spaces including subfloors, crawl spaces, trenches, and tunnels.

What is the disadvantage of ductile iron pipe?

Cathodic corrosion is a serious problem with ductile iron pipe. Water, oxygen, metal, corrosive soil and other materials can cause iron pipe to corrode or rust. Corrosion will eventually cause iron pipes to decay, and develop holes, leading to leaks.
