Equivalent lengths shown are standard for actual diameters of Sched 40 pipe and CFactors
of 120 except as noted with *. The fittings marked with a * show equivalent lengths values
supplied by manufacturers based on specific pipe diameters and CFactors and they require no
adjustment. All values for fittings not marked with a * will be adjusted in the calculation
for CFactors of other than 120 and diameters other than Sched 40 per NFPA.

LISTINGS&APPROVALS
Underground Water Pressure Service(UL&C-UL)
•Pipe-TYCO CPVC Pipe complies with the requirements of ASTM F442 and
standard dimension ratio(SDR)13.5.TYCO pipe is UL Listed and C-UL
Listed for a rated pressure of 175 psi(12,1 bar)for underground service.
•Fittings -TYCO CPVC Fittings comply with the requirements of ASTM
F438(Schedule 40 socket),ASTM F439(Schedule 80 socket)and ASTM
F1970(Transition fittings).
•Solvent Cement-All socket type joints shall be made in accordance with
TFPP's Installation Instructions using the TFP-500 or TFP-600 One Step
Solvent Cement.
Note:When using TYCO CPVC Pipe and Fittings,pipe and fittings
must be installed in accordance with ASTM D2774, the standard
recommended practice for underground installation of thermoplastic
pressure piping and ASTM F645, the standard guide for selection,
design,and installation of thermoplastic water pressure piping
systems,and all TFPP installation instructions contained within this
Installation Handbook.
•System Design-A TYCO CPVC underground system shall be hydrauli-
cally calculated using a Hazen-Williams C-Factor of 150, and designed
and installed in accordance with the"Installation of Sprinkler Systems,"
NFPA 13, 2007 edition,and where appropriate the"Standard for Instal-
lation of Private Fire Service Mains and Their Appurtenances,"NFPA 24.
•Installation Procedures-The installation procedures detailed within apply
to TYCO CPVC Pipe that has solvent cemented joints in sizes ranging from
3/4 in.to 3 in.(DN20 to DN80).
•Inspection-Before installation,TYCO CPVC Pipe and Fittings should be
thoroughly inspected for cuts,scratches,gouges,or split ends. Discard
damaged pipe.
•Trenching-The trench should be of adequate width to allow convenient
installation,while at the same time being as narrow as possible.Minimum
trench widths may be utilized by joining pipe outside of the trench and
lowering it into the trench after adequate joint strength has been achieved.
Note: Refer to TYCO's instructions for recommended set and cure
times for solvent cemented joints as found in Tables U,V,and W. Where
pipe is joined in the trench, or where thermal expansion and contrac-
tion are factors, trench widths may have to be widened.For additional
details on expansion and contraction, see thermal expansion charac-
teristics in Tables H1 and H2. Table B shows the trench width and mini-
mum ground cover required for underground installation.
All TYCO CPVC Pipe that is water filled should be buried at least 12 in.
(304,8 mm)below the maximum expected frost line.It is recommended that
TYCO piping be run within a metal or concrete casing when it is installed
beneath surfaces that are subject to heavy-weight or constant traffic such
as roadways and railroad tracks.
The trench bottom should be continuous, relatively smooth and free of
rocks. Where ledge rock, hardpan or boulders are encountered, it is
necessary to pad the trench bottom using a minimum of 4 in.(102,0 mm) •

of tamped earth or sand beneath the pipe as a cushion and to protect the
pipe from damage.Sufficient cover must be maintained to keep external
stress levels below maximum design stress.Reliability and safety of service
is of major importance in determining minimum cover. Local, state and
national codes may also govern.
•Maintenance - Maintenance of TYCO CPVC Pipe and Fittings for
underground water service shall be in accordance with the Standard
for Inspection, Testing and Maintenance of Water Based Extinguishing
Systems as defined by NFPA 25.
•Snaking of Pipe-After TYCO CPVC pipe has been solvent cemented,it is
advisable to snake the pipe according to the following recommendations
beside the trench during its required drying time. BE ESPECIALLY
CAREFUL NOT TO APPLY ANY STRESS THAT WILL DISTURB THE
UNDRIED JOINT.Snaking is necessary to allow for any anticipated thermal
contraction that will take place in the newly joined pipe line.Snaking is
particularly necessary on the lengths of pipe that have been solvent
cemented during the afternoon hours of a hot summer day because
the drying time will extend through the cool of the night when thermal
contraction of the pipe could stress the joints to the point of pull out.This
snaking is also especially necessary with pipe that is laid in its trench
(necessitating wider trenches than recommended) and is back-filled
with cool earth before the joints are thoroughly dry. Tables C1 and C2
show the Pipe Snaking and the Loop Offset dimensions to compensate
for contraction.
•Back-Filling-Ideally,back-filling should only be done early in the morning
during hot weather when the line is fully contracted so that there is no
chance of insufficiently dried joints being subject to contraction stresses.
The pipe should be uniformly and continuously supported over its entire
length with firm,stable material.Blocking should not be used to change
pipe grade or to intermittently support pipe across excavated sections.
Pipe is installed in a wide range of sub soils.These soils should not only
be stable,but applied in such a manner so as to physically shield the pipe
from damage.Attention should be given to local pipe laying experience
that may indicate particular bedding problems.
Back-filled material free of rocks with a size of 1/2 in. (12,7 mm)or less
should be used to surround the pipe with 6 in.to 8 in.(152,4 mm to 203,2
mm)of cover.The back-filled material should be placed in layers. Each
soil layer should be sufficiently compacted uniformly to develop laterally
passive soil forces during the back-fill operation.It may be advisable to have
the pipe under water pressure,15-25 psi(1,0-1,7 bar)during the back-filling.
Vibratory methods are preferred when compacting sand or gravel. Best
results are obtained when the soils are in a nearly saturated condition.
Where water flooding is used,the initial back-fill should be sufficient to
ensure complete coverage of the pipe.Additional material should not be
added until the water flooded back-fill is firm enough to walk on. Care
should be taken to avoid floating the pipe.
Sand and gravel containing a significant portion of fine-grained material
such as silt and clay should be compacted by hand or preferably by a
mechanical tamper.The remainder of the back-fill should be placed and •
