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 Amiantit Fiberglass industiers Ltd. 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.
