Detail Specifications - 11 JOINTING SEWER PIPE (Conttd) The work of completing the joir:t shall follow such distance back of the pipe-laying as may be necessary to insure that the joints will not be disturbed by laying of the pipe. In cone leting the joint the pipes shall first be accurately centered and the annular space at the sides and top of the pipe partly filled with mortar. Then beginning at the bottom of the joint the mortar shall be thoroaghly tamped (not spaded) into place with a mete.] caulking tool having a minirium tamping surface one-quarter inch (1/4") by three-quarters inch (3/'4"). The pipe layer shall have caulking tools available with larger tamping surfaces to be used as directed by the Engineer. The process of filling with mortar and tamping into place shall continue until the annular space is completely filled. The mortar j shall then be extended beyond the outside edge of the bell to make a forty- five degree (450) angle fillet between tao outside rim of the bell and the barrel of the pipe. The mortar forming said fillet shall be applied in three (3) successive layers and each layer shall be thoroughly trowelled into the preced- itr, layer. When directed by the Engineer, a mortar of slightly wetter con- sistency :my be used for making the fillet. li On pipe eighteen inches (18") end larger the pipe shall also be ceulked and pointed on the inside flush with the barrel of the oioe. Sufficient room shall be provided under and along the side of the joint to properly perform the above jointing operations. The joints shall be kept :'ree from running water for at least twelve (12) hours attar eoarletion. If at any time the Engineer deems it necessary he may require the joint to be caull.ed with oakum soaked in neat cement mortar. Joints shall be protected from the drying effects of sun and wind. If immediate backfilling is not feasible, then the contractor shall cover the joints with wet burlap or shall otherwise protect them in a manner satisfac- tory to the Engines:. All joints shall be sound and tight. mEASUI.RZ EV T ANT: PAYMENT i Pa nt for Ym` pipe sewers shall be made ^a the price tid rirr rinser foot C for etch size of sewer in place, and shall be in full for the reLuva_ of exist- ing sewers, all connec ;ions to existing sewers, and all labor and materials necessary to excavate tie trench, place the pipe, backfill the trench, restore the street surface and all other work necessary to give a finished remit in accordance witn the specifications written herein. i r Paycent for wyes shall be made at the price bid, each, for wyes in place, and shall include trenching, backfill, and adjustment tc fit existing servers.
