| The excellent corrosion resistance
and many other benefits of Flowtite pipe will be realized if the
pipe is properly installed. Flowtite pipe is designed with consideration
for the bedding and pipe zone backfill support that will result
from these recommended installation procedures. Together, the pipe
and embedment material form a high-performance “pipe/soil
system.”
Flowtite guidelines are easy to follow and monitor. A good indication
of the quality of the installation achieved is immediately verifiable
by measuring the vertical diametrical deflection of the buried pipe
and by inspecting the pipe shape.
We have tried to address the unusual, as well as usual circumstances
that may be encountered in the field. However, it is certain that
unique situations requiring special consideration will occur. When
this happens, ask Amitech Germany GmbH for help.
Most importantly, Flowtite installation guidelines are not meant
to replace common sense, good engineering judgment, safety regulations
or local ordinances, nor the specifications and instructions of
the owner’s engineer... who is the final authority on all
jobs. Should conflicts in any of this information create doubts
as to how to proceed properly, please consult the supplier and the
owner’s engineer to obtain assistance.
