ASTM F585-16

Standard Guide for Insertion of Flexible Polyethylene Pipe Into Existing Sewers

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 The procedures described in this guide are intended as a design and review aid for use by the design engineer in conjunction with manufacturer's recommendations for installing a polyethylene pipe using the insertion method.
SCOPE
1.1 This guide describes design and selection considerations and installation procedures for the rehabilitation of sanitary and storm sewers by the insertion of solid wall or profile wall or corrugated polyethylene pipe into an existing pipe and along its existing line and grade. The procedures in this guide are intended to minimize traffic disruption, surface damage, surface restoration and interruption of service.  
1.2 The polyethylene piping product manufacturer should be consulted to determine the polyethylene piping product’s suitability for insertion renewal as described in this guide.  
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. See 6.1, 7.1, and 8.1 for additional safety precautions.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.

5.1.2 The presence of obstructions should be determined (see 6.3). Protrusions of lateral or service piping into the host sewer
pipe, root growths, sedimentation, mineral deposits, or any combination of such obstructions, may require remedial work prior to
inserting the polyethylene pipe.
5.1.3 To ensure against interference during insertion, the minimum annular clearance between the polyethylene pipe OD and
the host pipe ID should be 10 % of the host pipe ID or 2 in. (50 mm) whichever is less. Greater annular clearance is acceptable.
