Storm pipe and fabricated fittings shall be manufactured using virgin Polypropylene (PP)
compounds meeting the requirements of ASTM F2881 and AASHTO M330. Polypropylene compounds
shall be comprised of the base unfilled copolymer polypropylene virgin resin and all additives,
colorants, UV inhibitors and stabilizers. Conditioning, sampling, preparation and testing of molded
specimens shall be in accordance with the requirements in ASTM D4101.
Storm pipe shall be joined using watertight bell and spigot type joints meeting ASTM
F2881. The integral joints shall be watertight according to ASTM D3212. Gaskets shall be made of
polyisoprene meeting the requirements of ASTM F477, shall be installed by the manufacturer, and shall
be covered with a protective wrap. An approved joint lubricant, available from the manufacturer, shall
be applied to the bell and gasket during installation. Storm joints shall be assembled in
accordance with the manufacturer’s requirements to ensure installed watertight performance
Fittings fabricated from pipe manufactured to this specification shall meet the requirements of ASTM
F2881 and AASHTO M330. Connections between fittings and pipe shall be watertight and shall meet
the performance requirements of ASTM D3212.
