Carnegie Fitting

Carnegie Fitting

(OP)
I'm trying to design a harnessed push on fitting cast into a concrete wall. It's for a 90 inch steel pipe. I'd like to check my clearances, but to do so I need the Carnegie Fitting dimensions. When I ask the people in our office, they act like I have three heads.
Is there anywhere, on line or otherwise, where I can get Carnegie Fitting dimensions? They have to be standardized. I've already checked AWWA M11.

Ameron makes the Carnegie joint design (double gasket).

The fittings for the 54-inch pipeline job that I worked on were custom fabricated.

I would suggest contacting Ameron engineering staff

RE: Carnegie Fitting

I am Italian but I do not know what does it mean "carnegie fitting". If it is something similar to the one suggested by Nackra You can visit the ACPPA-American Concrete Pressure Pipes Association's site where You can find ALL the manufacturers of such a item in U.S.A. and Canada. They can supply You both spigot and socket steel ring joints according to their standards so that You can adjust them to Your need

RE: Carnegie Fitting

Dimensions of fabricated steel water pipe fittings are addressed in AWWA C208 standard -- that being said, if specific dimensions of the fitting and joints are critical to the application, I likewise recommend you contact the fabricator for the particulars you are interested in (as bimr is right, 90-inch fittings are not off the shelf items).
