PlastiDrain
PlastiDrain is a plastic gravity drainage system designed for both foul and surface water applications in housing, industrial, commercial and highway drainage. PlastiDrain is based on 110mm and 160mm diameter pipes and includes a comprehensive range of ttings, gullies and inspection chambers together with a wide range of adaptors for connection to a variety of other pipe systems.

System Performance
Materials:
Pipes and fittings are manufactured from Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U); Gullies from PVC-U, polypropylene (PP), or polyethylene (PE); Inspection chambers from polypropylene. Couplings can be made from either PVC-U or PP and contain a rubber sealing ring manufactured from styrene butadiene rubber (SBR).

Quality Assurance:
All Hepworth products are manufactured under a quality management system which is approved to BS EN ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management Systems Requirements.

Colour:
Pipes, Gullies and fittings are in terracotta. Inspection Chambers and elastomeric joint rings in black.

Maintenance:
A PlastiDrain system when correctly designed and installed should not need maintenance. However, blockages do occur from time to time and the pipeline will need to be cleared. Provision of access points into the system should be made in the design of the drainage layout. Should a blockage occur, flexible or roller type rods should be used. From July 1998 the new Europe-wide manufacturing standard BS EN 14011:1998 started to replace BS 4660. However, 110mm and 160mm access fittings are not covered by the new standard and will conform to BS 4660:2000.

Standards:
The PlastiDrain system is manufactured to the highest possible standards and where relevant is manufactured in accordance with BS 4660: 2000 and BS EN 1401-1: 1998 which specifies the requirements for underground pipes and fittings in sizes 110mm and160mm. Rubber seals are manufactured to BS EN 681: 1996. In addition the PlastiDrain system has been independently assessed by the British Board of Agrment and has been awarded an Agrment Certificate No 86/1648.

Recommended Bedding Requirements

The following notes are given as a broad indication of the main installation measures to be considered. Further advice and information can be obtained from Hepworth Technical Advisory Service on Tel: 0870 443 5551.
the load on the surface of the trench (eg. under a road, field or garden) the depth of pipe under the surface width of trench

Trench Preparation:
The trench should not be excavated too far in advance of pipe laying and should be backfilled as soon as possible. Trench widths should be as narrow as practicable but not less than the pipe OD plus 300mm to enable proper compaction of sidefill. Trench sides should be correctly supported. The type of bedding and filling needed depends on: the pipe type and size type of subsoil

These are recommendations made by Hepworth. Standard beddings are defined in BS 5955: Part 6: 1980 and BS EN1295.

Trench Backfilling:
Hand tamp the backfill fully at the sides of the pipe while tamping lightly over the crown. This should continue until a minimum thickness of 300mm has been placed over the pipe. As dug material may then be placed in 300mm layers and mechanically compacted. Dumpers and other vehicles should not be driven along the trench as a means of compaction.

Pipes laid at depths greater than 900mm cover in roads, 600mm in fields.
Pipes laid in as dug subsoil suitable as bedding material* Pipes laid in subsoil unsuitable as bedding material which does not puddle when walked on. GL GL Pipes laid in subsoil unsuitable as bedding material.

Sitework and Installation Instructions

It is important that good care is taken on site to prevent unnecessary wastage of materials and time and for the prevention of problems after laying thus causing delay and additional expense.
Stack socketed pipes as diagram b. Ensure that the first layer is raised off

the ground.
Fittings supplied in bags should be stored away from direct sunlight. Incorrect way to stack pipes Correct way to stack plain ended pipes Stacking single socket pipes

1 Transport: Generally pipes are delivered pre-packed in standard quantities, held by

nylon straps and timber supports.

Loose pipes are hand loaded, care should be taken to clear the carrying

surface of debris and nails.

Pipes should not overhang the vehicle by more than 1m. Vehicles should

have side supports no more than 2m spacing.

With mixed loads of pipes ensure that the larger diameter pipes are at the

bottom.
Fittings are supplied in cardboard boxes or plastic bags. Incorrect way to load pipes Correct way to load pipes

4 Cutting:To cut a pipe to a specified length, use the following procedure. a) Mark the pipe, and cut cleanly at a right angle to the pipes horizontal axis using a fine tooth saw. b) The cut end should be chamfered to approx 15 for half the pipe wall thickness and deburred with a sharp tool.

5 Jointing:2 Handling: Pipes should never be thrown from lorries, dropped or dragged along the

Pipes and fittings are joined by push-fit joints. Socket ends are fitted with an elastomeric seal which is compressed by the spigot end of the joining pipe to form an effective seal. a) Ensure both pipe end and sealing ring are clean. b) Lubricate both pipe end and sealing ring. c) Align components and push home fully. If expansion is required the spigot may be withdrawn by 12mm. An allowance for expansion only needs to be made when using PVC-U couplings. This is not necessary with the use of polypropylene couplings. If extra leverage is required to push home the spigot, use a timber block at the trailing end to prevent damage. The push-fit joint allows for some angular deflection giving ease of installation whilst allowing for subsequent ground movement.

ground. Use web or rope slings when mechanically lifting pipes, do not use metal slings, hooks or chains. Take extra care in wintry conditions as cold weather reduces the impact strength of PVC-U.

6 Testing:All lengths of drains and sewers installed correctly using the Plastidrain system will pass the appropriate air or water test. An air test is usually more convenient but an excessive drop in pressure may be due to a change in temperature, defective apparatus or failure in the pipeline. Should this occur a water test is recommended so that the leakage can be assessed and located.

3 Storage: Pipes should be laid on a flat surface free from large stones and projections.

If this is not possible pipes should be placed on transverse bearers with side supports. Stack pipes of different sizes separately, if this is not possible stack larger pipes at the base (see diagram a) Pipes should not be nested for long periods and stacks should not exceed seven layers or 2m in height.

Protection of pipes laid at very shallow depths

Pipes may be protected at shallow depths using a 150mm thick reinforced concrete surround, with allowance for flexibility at pipe joints using compressible boards which should be equal in size to the concrete cross section, or by means of reinforced bridging slabs of adequate strength.
