1. Manufacturing data listing resin type, cell classification, stock density,
melt flow, flexural modulus, tensile strength, and coloration.
2. Pipe Dimensions:
a. Average outside diameter.
b. Average inside diameter.
c. Minimum and average wall thickness.
d. Approximate weight in pounds per foot.
3. Manufacturer's instructions for fusing joints.
B. CONTRACTOR shall submit pipe welding certifications for pipe fusion machine
operators prior to beginning fusion operations.
1.3. MANUFACTURER'S QUALITY ASSURANCE
A. The pipe, fittings, and valve manufacturers shall have an established quality
assurance (QA) program responsible for inspecting incoming and outgoing
materials. At a minimum, incoming polyethylene (PE) materials shall be

contamination. The supplier shall certify all incoming PE materials.
B. The pipe and fittings manufacturer shall have an established QA program
responsible for assuring the long-term performance of materials and products.
Representative samples of PE materials shall be tested against the physical
property requirements of this Specification. Each extrusion line and molding
machine shall be qualified to produce pressure rated products by taking
representative production samples and performing sustained pressure tests in
accordance with ASTM D1598.
