SECTION 5 – WATER WORKS <br />75 <br />5-2.5 (e) TAPPING VALVES AND SLEEVES <br />The tapping sleeves shall be built in two (2) sections, designed to be assembled around the existing <br />mains without halting service. Bolts for fastening together the two (2) sections shall be closely <br />spaced, located so as to ensure uniform gasket pressure. End connections of the sleeves shall be a <br />mechanical joint complying with ANSI/AWWA C111. The end connection of the sleeve outlet <br />shall be flanged complying with ANSI B16.1 Class 125 with MSS SP-60. <br />The tapping valves shall be resilient seated valves of the non –rising stem type. The tapping valves <br />shall conform to ANSI/AWWA-C509. The end connection shall be a mechanical joint complying <br />with ANSI/AWWA-C111. The outlet end connection meeting the tapping sleeve shall be flanged <br />complying with ANSI B16.1, Class 125 and MSS SP-60. The valves shall be tested at twice the <br />working pressure of 200 psi. The valves shall have O-ring seals. The tapping valves shall be <br />provided with an adjustable cast iron valve box. <br />5-2.5 (f) VALVE BOX <br />Valve boxes shall be cast iron. Valve box assemblies shall include a bottom section, a top section, <br />and a lid. The lid shall have the word “WATER” cast into it. Valve box shall have five (5) foot <br />burial depth. <br />5-2.5 (g) CURB VALVE AND CORPORATION STOP <br />Curb valves and corporation stops shall be ball type, one-quarter (¼) turn clockwise from fully <br />open to fully closed and designed for 200 psi. working pressure. Inlet and outlet shall have <br />compressed connections. Curb valve boxes shall allow for valve operation, from the surface, with <br />the box and rod for a five (5) foot depth of curb valve. The tee head should be parallel to the pipe <br />when open, and perpendicular when closed. Only valves manufactured by Mueller, Ford, or <br />McDonald shall be permitted. <br />5-2.6 FIRE HYDRANT ASSEMBLY <br />Fire hydrant shall conform to the most recent version of AWWA C502; two (2), two and one-half <br />(2.50) inch nozzles with National Standard thread and one (1) , five (5) inch pumper nozzle with South <br />Bend Fire Department special thread; chained nozzle caps; one (1) inch square operating nut to open <br />clockwise; one (1) inch square nozzle caps nuts; 360 degree rotatable upper barrel of break-flange <br />design; painted red, white, and blue; extension for a six (6) foot trench depth; six (6) inch inlet with <br />gasket and wedge action retainer gland. This inlet connection (shoe) shall be oversized to fit old and <br />new pipe, having O.D. range from six and nine-tenths (6.90) inches to seven and one-tenth (7.10) <br />inches. <br />The nominal five (5) inch pumper nozzle shall have an I.D. of at least four and three-quarter (4.75) <br />inches. The main valve size shall be five and one-quarter (5.25) inches in diameter; the main valve <br />shall close with, and be held closed by, normal water pressure. The inside of the shoe, and the lower <br />plate valve, shall be epoxy-coated where exposed to pressurized water. Hydrants must be Clow <br />Medallion, Mueller Super Centurion, or Kennedy Guardian.
