Designation:F58516Standard Guide forInsertion of Flexible Polyethylene Pipe Into Existing Sewers1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F585;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of originaladoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.Anumber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscriptepsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This guide describes design and selection considerationsand installation procedures for the rehabilitation of sanitary andstorm sewers by the insertion of solid wall or profile wall orcorrugated polyethylene pipe into an existing pipe and along itsexisting line and grade.The procedures in this guide areintended to minimize traffic disruption,surface damage,sur-face restoration and interruption of service.1.2 The polyethylene piping product manufacturer shouldbe consulted to determine the polyethylene piping productssuitability for insertion renewal as described in this guide.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.See 6.1,7.1,and8.1 for additional safety precautions.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2F412 Terminology Relating to Plastic Piping SystemsF1417 Practice for Installation Acceptance of Plastic Non-pressure Sewer Lines Using Low-Pressure AirF1804 Practice for Determining Allowable Tensile Load forPolyethylene(PE)Gas Pipe During Pull-In InstallationF2620 Practice for Heat Fusion Joining of Polyethylene Pipeand Fittings2.2 Other Documents:3PPI Material Handling Guide3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsDefinitions are in accordance with Termi-nology F412,unless otherwise specified.4.Significance and Use4.1 The procedures described in this guide are intended as adesign and review aid for use by the design engineer inconjunction with manufacturers recommendations for install-ing a polyethylene pipe using the insertion method.5.Design and Selection Considerations5.1 General Guidelines:5.1.1 Host Pipe Condition AssessmentPrior to the selec-tion of polyethylene pipe size and installation procedure,measures should be taken to determine in detail the conditionof the host(original)sewer piping.A detailed examinationshould determine if the host sewer piping is structurallysufficient,and that any joint offsets or other host pipe defectswill permit polyethylene pipe insertion.5.1.2 The presence of obstructions should be determined(see 6.3).Protrusions of lateral or service piping into the hostsewer pipe,root growths,sedimentation,mineral deposits,orany combination of such obstructions,may require remedialwork prior to inserting the polyethylene pipe.5.1.3 To ensure against interference during insertion,theminimum annular clearance between the polyethylene pipe ODand the host pipe ID should be 10%of the host pipe ID or 2in.(50 mm)whichever is less.Greater annular clearance isacceptable.Outside diameter information should be obtainedfrom the polyethylene pipe manufacturer.5.1.4 The number of insertion excavations should be kept toa minimum and should coincide with areas where problemshave been detected in the existing sewer(see Section 7).5.1.5 Solid wall or profile wall or corrugated polyethylenepipe may be assembled at the time of insertion using heatfusion in accordance with Practice F2620,integral bell and1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on Plastic PipingSystems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F17.62 on Sewer.Current edition approved Oct.1,2016.Published December 2016.Originallyapproved in 1978.Last previous edition approved in 2013 as F585 13.DOI:10.1520/F0585-16.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from Plastics Pipe Institute(PPI),105 Decker Court,Suite 825,Irving,TX 75062,http:/www.plasticpipe.org.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 spigot joints,or mechanical connections as appropriate for thepolyethylene piping product.5.1.6 In all cases,the hydraulic capacity of the pipelineshould be assessed by an engineer to insure the reduction inflow area from an inserted pipe or deterioration or deformation,or both,of the host pipe does not adversely imp
