866.DI.IE 3 Mechanical Joint ipe Mechanical joint pipe is a time-tested Ductile Iron product with joint dimensions conforming to the standardized dimensions in AWWA C111. Mechanical joint pipe is UL Listed and FM Approved. The mechanical joint is based on the stuffing box principle and consists of a bell with a flange cast integrally with it; a cast or ductile iron gland; a rubber gasket and the necessary bolts and nuts. Its design permits considerable deflection as well as longitudinal expansion and contraction in the line. U.S. ipe typically supplies mechanical joint pipe without accessories. However, MJ gaskets, glands, and bolts conforming to ANSI/AWWA C111/A21.11 or the purchasers specifications can be furnished upon request. ANSI /AWWA Standards ANSI/AWWA C151/A21.51, Standard for Ductile Iron ipe, Centrifugally Cast for Water. Ductile Iron mechanical joint pipe are centrifugally cast in metal molds in sizes 4 through 12 in accordance with applicable requirements of ANSI/AWWA C151/A21.51. ANSI/AWWA C111/A21.11, Standard for Rubber-Gasket Joints for Ductile Iron ressure ipe and Fittings. Accessories conform to applicable requirements of ANSI/AWWA C111/A21.11. ANSI/AWWA C104/A21.4, Cement-Mortar Lining For Ductile-Iron ipe and Fittings For Water. The cement-mortar lining and inside coating are in accordance with ANSI/AWWA C104/ A21.4. Special linings and/or coatings can be furnished for specific conditions. NOTE: U.S. ipe neither manufactures nor recommends the use of mechanical joint retainer glands. As an accommodation to our customers and consulting engineers we do provide retainer glands for use where specified. Any warranties for those glands sold by U.S. ipe shall be those warranties given by the particular manufacturer of the gland involved. U.S. IE MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXRESS OR IMLIED CONCERNING THOSE GLANDS, AND U.S. IE WILL ASSUME NO LIABILITY FOR THEIR USE. We continue to offer other restrained joint products, TR FLEX ipe and Fittings, and the FIELD LOK 350 Gasket for use with TYTON JOINT ipe and Fittings. If specifiers and users believe that corrosive soils will be encountered where our products are to be installed, please refer to ANSI/AWWA C105/A21.5 olyethylene Encasement for Ductile Iron ipe Systems for proper protection procedures.

866.DI.IE 4 Assembly of Mechanical Joint ipe These photographs show each of the five progressive steps in assembling mechanical joint pipe. Figure 1. Brush socket, plain end and gasket with soapy water, then slip gland and gasket over plain end. The small side of the gasket and the lip side of the gland face the socket. 1. Figure 2. Insert plain end into socket. ush gasket into position with fingers, making sure it is evenly seated. 2. Figure 3. Slide gland into position, insert bolts and tighten nuts by hand. Figure 4. With ordinary ratchet wrench, tighten bolts alternatively (bottom then top, and so on, all around) to a torque range of 75-90 ft-lb. 3. Figure 5. The completed mechanical joint. 4. 5. NOTE: Installation of mechanical joint pipe should be made following the instructions in ANSI/AWWA C600 and ANSI/AWWA C111/A21.11. U.S. IE
