Tech Specs for FM Line Stop and Bypass

(OP)
Does anyone have a source for technical specifications for a line stop, tap and bypass of a sanitary sewer force main?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.  

RE: Tech Specs for FM Line Stop and Bypass

Do a google search for section 15050. Here is an example:

http://www.mcwd.org/docs/engr/std_specs0805.pdf

You can also use the "Standard Specification for Water & Sewer Main Construction".

RE: Tech Specs for FM Line Stop and Bypass

(OP)
I've tried that. None found specific to FM Line stops and Bypassing. Most only speak to gravity bypassing manhole to manhole. Thanks though.

RE: Tech Specs for FM Line Stop and Bypass

The link above has a water main tapping procedure that should be more or less the same as that for tapping a force main.
