6) Acceptable gravity sewer and force main pipe may be approved on a case-by-case basis for sep�c tank leach beds if perforated
with two rows of 3/8" to 3/4" diameter holes, located 5 inches center to center, and 120⁰ apart. The bedding for a leach line
should be 3/4" to 1 ½” clean gravel. The bedding classifica�on shown under the installa�on column should be used for the
lines from the tank to the fields. Pipes should be laid in sec�ons of 10 lineal feet or less. Rolled PE pipe will not be accepted.
7) PVC gravity sewer pipe must meet or exceed SDR 35 (the lower the SDR the thicker the pipe wall thickness).
8) PVC force main must meet or exceed SDR 21, unless the diameter is 4 inches or less, then it must meet or exceed SDR 26.
9) Pipe primarily installed by direct burial and pipe jacking.
10) Acceptable material for manholes.
11) No pipe corrosion, recommended use in Hydrogen Sulfide problem manholes.
12) ASTM D2657 may be used as the joint spec for any polyolefin pipe and fi�ngs. (e.g., polyethylene to polyethylene or
polypropylene to polypropylene)
13) Double walled pipe only .
