Hi Jennifer,

I’ll take a look at the design data tomorrow when I get to the shop (too hard to see on my little screen at home).

Based on the new pics I’m guessing the tee and reducer were built as one unit at the fitting manufacturer and not put together in the field. We may not be able to blame the contractor. J

Based on the color of the backing ring on the 8”, I’m guessing it’s IPS instead of DIPS (IPS is usually red, DIPS is usually blue). We should still put an OD tape on it to confirm.

I’ll get back to you after I look at the docs you sent relating to the design pressure for my best guess.

Thanks,

Rusty

Hi Rusty,

Jake is still working on getting the measurements from your email today. We should have those to you sometime tomorrow morning.

Also I have included the Design Data information. It appears the other pipe used for this line is C-905. I also am sending the contract provisions for the HDPE. I hope this will provide enough information to determine the needed pressure rating.

Regards,

Jennifer Cline, P.E.

Hi Jennifer,

When your guys get the pipe between the 90 and the reducer exposed, we need to get an OD tape on both pipe sizes. I noticed the drawing says 24” DIPS which is fairly uncommon around here, usually we use IPS pipe.

24” DIPS is 25.80” OD, 24” IPS is 24.00” OD.

8” DIPS is 9.05” OD, 8” IPS is 8.625” OD.

It’s important to verify what the pipe OD’s are and what the pressure rating needs to be so we can have everything built correctly.

Thanks,

Rusty
