Suspended Watermains

Suspended Watermains

Suspended Watermains

(OP)
Hello All,

Does anyone know of an existing standard or any options which may be available for flexible joints which would be used for suspending a watermain under a bridge?  In particular, I’ve been asked to recommend a flexible coupling to use for joining a watermain passing through a bridge abutment to the suspended section and through the other side.

If anyone knows anything about this, please let me know.

RE: Suspended Watermains

Contact the Ductile Iron Pipe Research Association for help.  A bell and socket joint provides a combination of flexibility and straing.

Thanks Maury.  I'll see where this leads me.

Regards,

Claude
