Minimum nominal thicknesses for both parent and outlet pipe are shown in the above table. The outlets are rated 200 to 250 psi working pressure, depending on size, as noted in Standard Dimensions. Consult AMERICAN for higher-pressure applications.
System design and installation should be such so as to avoid beam loads or impacts on the outlets. It is particularly important in underground service to use flexible joints, such as Flex-Ring or Fast-Grip, for outlet piping to allow for at least some incidental movement between the parent and outlet piping. It should be noted that AWWA Manual M41 and the Appendix to ANSI/AWWA C115/A21.15 state that underground use of the flanged joint is generally not recommended because of the rigidity of the joint, and AMERICAN concurs with this guidance. Flexible outlet pipe joints should not be modified to make them rigid, nor should they be installed fully deflected.
This is a shop-fabricated product and is not intended for field fabrication.
Contact AMERICAN for applications of any flanged welded-on outlets involving connecting piping, such as pump suction and discharge headers, etc. Flange outlets supplied by AMERICAN are provided per ANSI/AWWA C151/A21.51 and may be manufactured with either a welded or threaded flange.
