About Standards &


Quality
In most modern homes the owners are very
aware of the finishes to their buildings, but
less aware of what goes on inside the walls,
underneath the floors, in fact almost anywhere
out of sight. Yet water supply and sanitation are
vital components of convenient living.
Standards and the regulating authorities are
there to protect consumers; by preparing
National Standards - increasingly harmonized
with International Standards, by testing products
and by certifying products as compliant,
ultimately providing assurance of quality and
safety.

Marley Pipe Systems have been manufacturing


SABS approved products since consumer
protection was first mandated in the industry.

In keeping with international trends,


Marley is a market leader in converting
to lead free materials.
Marleys commitment to quality and safety has
all pipe and components manufactured in an
ISO9001 accredited facility.

Note* In the pipe tables above, kPA Stiffness is not a pressure


rating. kPA Stiffness refers to the pipes stiffness (crush
strength). The pascal (symbol: Pa) or kilopascal (kPa) is the SI
derived unit of pressure or stress - in this case, stress.

Properties and Performance


Structural and Mechanical Properties
uPVC Pipes derive their load bearing capacity from a combination of their inherent
stiffness and the characteristics of the bedding and sidefill material with which they
are used. When a vertical load is imposed on a flexible pipeline it will deform (radial
deformation) and the resulting horizontal force is transmitted to the undisturbed
trench wall via the sidefill material. A state of equilibrium is reached and any
deflection of the pipe ceases when the horizontal reaction of the sidefill corresponds
to the transmitted vertical load.
The design of a uPVC pipeline must therefore take into account the interaction
between the pipe and the bedding material. This will enable uPVC pipes to
withstand imposed loads without excessive deflection whilst also maintaining their
ability to cope with possible ground movement without fracturing.
The minimum specific tangential initial stiffness of Marley Twin-wall and solid wall
drain pipe is given in Table 1 below.

As will be explained on page 29, the correct selection and placing of bedding
and backfill materials will prevent the occurrence of an unacceptable level of
deformation.

Chemical Properties
Marley pipes and fittings are highly resistant to acids/alkalis and thus to aggressive
soils. Please see Table 2 below.
Chemical Type

PVC Reaction/Suitability

Acids

No attack by concentrated or diluted acids at temperatures up


to 60C, except for oxidizing acids such as concentrated nitric
which attacks PVC above 20C. In stressed applications, design
stress,at 20C, should be reduced by: from 2.5% for 10%
sulphuric -to 27.5% for concentrated nitric.

Alkalis

No attack at temperatures up to 60C even by concentrated


alkalis. However in stressed applications, design stress must
be reduced significantly, e.g. by 40 - 50% for 10% sodium
hydroxide.

Aromatic hydrocarbons and


highly polar organic materials
such as ketones, esters, cyclic
ethers, nitro-compounds and
hydrocarbons.

Not suitable.

Aliphatic hydrocarbons

No effect.

Aliphatic alcohols

No attack at room temperature but design stress must be


reduced by half.

Halogens - chlorine

No attack if dry.

Halogens - chlorine

Not suitable if moist

Halogens - bromine

Not suitable

Halogens - fluorine

Not suitable

Halogens - iodine

Not suitable

Oxidizing agents

Little attack even by the strongest, such as concentrated


potassium permanganate, but design stress must be reduced by
25%.

Reducing agents

No effect up to 60C

Detergents

No attack

Pipe Flow Characteristics


Marley underground drainage pipe provides low hydraulic resistance and excellent
flow characteristics.
Table 3 below indicates full bore velocities and capacities for Marley Twin Wall
and Solid Wall sewer and drainage pipes at various gradients. The values have
been derived from the Colebrook White formula using data supplied by the British
Hydraulics Research Station.

A minimum self cleansing velocity of 0.76m/s should normally


be adhered to (shaded area), taking into account proportional
velocities for pipe running part full where necessary.

Roughness Height (ks) = 0.6mm (Surface Water Systems).

Design & Installation

All work should be in accordance with national building regulations and applicable
bylaws. Information in this section is intended to highlight and supplement relevant
sections of South African National Standards; SANS 10400, SANS 10112, SANS
10252-2 and SANS 1200LD. Consult Appendix A for the SANS title, an abstract and
purchase details.

For secure joints, only use pipe and fittings from the Marley
Sewer & Drainage range. When joining, sockets and seals must be
clean and free from swarf or any grit.
SANS 10252-2, section 6.8 details the correct test and
inspection procedure to follow before any work is concealed or
covered. Local authorities may require tests for drains to be
carried out as detailed in SANS 10400 Part P, item PP26.
The efficiency and effectiveness of rodding is dependant
largely on the procedures adopted and the correct choice of
properly maintained rodding tools. Poor practices and/or damaged
or inappropriate rodding tools could damage sewer pipes. It is
advisable to consult a drain cleaning expert to ensure that the
correct methods and equipment are used.

Pipe Cutting
Pipes are easily cut to length on site
using a fine tooth saw and a fabricated
mitre box (Fig. 6). Saw cuts should be
made square to the pipe. Twin Wall saw
cuts should be made midway between
corrugations (Fig. 7).
Solid Wall pipe ends need to be
chamfered after cutting (Fig. 8).
Remove all swarf from cut ends.

Sewer & Drainage Fittings have
a chamfered edge to assist joint
assembly.
Determine the insertion depth
mark and transfer this to the
pipe using a permanent marker.
Follow the same procedure when
joining a spigot ended fitting.
The insertion depth may be
determined by measuring the
depth from the fittings outside
face to maximum insertion depth
less a 10mm allowance for pipe
movement. See Fig. 19 and 20.
Ensure that the rubber seal ring
is correctly positioned in the
socket recess of the fitting or
pipe socket.
Apply a small amount of Marley
lube to the chamfered spigot
end and to the rubber seal ring
(Fig. 21 and 22).

Line the pipe (or spigot)
end up with the socket
and push firmly through
the ring seal until the
insertion depth mark
is level with the face of
the socket (Fig. 23 and
24). Where Marley Twin
wall pipe is being joined,
push until you should
feel the lip seal engage
a pipe corrugation;
stopping just short of
the insertion depth
mark.

Marley Repair Coupling (Kimberly Socket)


The Marley Repair Socket has been designed to permit additional branch
connections or repair to an existing Marley soil pipe installation, without causing
major and costly alteration.

Repairs
You will need 2 Repair Sockets
(UK40) and a section of pipe
long enough to repair the
damaged section.
The first task concerns
the accurate marking of
the portion of pipe to be
cut and removed from the
system. Carefully cut away
the damaged section with a
hacksaw or other fine tooth
saw. Cuts should be made
square to the pipe axis.
Chamfer and deburr the pipe
ends. See Fig. 25 and 26.
Measure the length of
pipe required to repair the
damaged section and cut a
new section of pipe for this
purpose. Cuts should be
made square to the pipe axis.
Chamfer and deburr the pipe
ends. See Fig. 27.
Determine the insertion depth
mark from the Repair Socket
by halving the total socket
length (Fig. 28).

Using a black permanent
marker, transfer this length
onto both ends of the repair
pipe section (Fig. 29).
Lube the Repair Sockets and
all pipe ends.
Insert a Kimberley socket to
the fullest extent over each
end of the repair pipe section
(Fig. 30). Alternatively insert
a Kimberley socket to the
fullest extent over each end
of the existing pipe line.
The repair pipe section is
then inserted into the gap.
All that remains to complete
the installation is to slide
the Kimberley sockets over
the ends up to the insertion
depth marks. See Fig. 31 and
32.

New branch connections


For new branch connections,
cut two small sections of
pipe long enough to form a
spigot ended branch section.
Prepare the sections, taking
care to chamfer and deburr
all pipe ends. Establish the
spigot ended branch section.
See Fig. 33 and 34.
Now measure the piece from
spigot end to spigot end (Fig.
35).
Transfer this dimension to
the existing pipe section and
carefully cut away with a
hacksaw or other fine tooth
saw. Chamfer and deburr
both cut ends. See Fig. 36.
Determine the insertion
depth mark from the
Kimberly socket by halving
the total socket length (Fig.
37).

Using a black permanent
marker, transfer this length
onto both ends of the spigot
ended branch section (Fig.

Lube the Kimberly sockets and
all pipe ends.
Insert a Kimberley socket to
the fullest extent over each
end of the spigot branch
section (Fig. 39). Alternatively
insert a Kimberley socket to
the fullest extent over each
end of the existing pipe line.
The new branch section is
then inserted into the gap.
All that remains to complete
the installation is to slide the
Kimberley sockets over the
ends up to the insertion depth
marks. See Fig. 40 and 41.

Pipe Bedding & Backfill

E
C

Fig. 42, Trench cross-sectional view


The width of the trench should be as narrow as possible but at least 300mm
greater than the outside diameter of the pipe (Dimension A plus B).
Trenches deeper than 900mm (Dimension C) should be stepped and suitably
shuttered so as to prevent accidental injury from collapsing sidewalls.
The bottom of the trench should be free from stones, projections, soft spots, be
reasonably uniform and graded to fall.
Bedding should be to a class as specified by an engineer. In the absence of
engineering instructions, it is advisable to use a bedding class for flexible pipes
in accordance with SANS 1200LB where under traffic load and a Class C bedding
elsewhere.
The initial backfill should be of selected granular material compacted to a depth
of 100mm (Dimension D) and covering the full width of the trench.
It is good practice to backfill as the pipe laying progresses, leaving 300mm
exposed on either side of joints for testing.
Generally the use of concrete with flexible pipes in trenches is considered
wasteful since it converts a flexible pipeline into a beam of negligible flexural
strength.
At depths of 700mm (Dimension E) and more, protection by normal well
upvc-sewer-n-drainage-sys_v001

compacted granular surround is generally adequate.


At shallow cover depths where pipes may be subject to heavy traffic loadings,
protection is best achieved by the use of concrete slabs on a cushion of hand
compacted granular fill.
Alternatively the pipeline may be protected by a reinforced pipe duct of greater
diameter.

Where the 160 by 110mm reducing junction (UY64) is used to create


a branch connection leading to the ground level, care should be
exercised in the backfill and compaction surrounding the joint so as
to avoid excessive joint leverage. Branch access should be adequately
supported. See Fig. 43
