ADS POTABLE WATER SERVICE PIPE (SIDR-IPS) PIPE SPECIFICATION
Scope
This specification describes ADS PolyFlex Potable Water Service Pipe (SIDR-IPS) SIDR 9 and SIDR 7
for use in potable water service applications.
Pipe Requirements
ADS potable water service pipe shall meet the requirements of ASTM D2239 and NSF/ANSI Standards
14 and 61. Pipe dimensions shall meet Iron Pipe Size (SIDR-IPS) standards.
Material Properties
Pipe material shall be high-density polyethylene conforming to the minimum requirements of cell
classification 445574C CC3 or 445574E CC3 as defined and described in ASTM D3350, except that
carbon black content should not exceed 3%. The resin shall have a material designation code of PE4710
by the Plastic Pipe Institute.
Disinfection/Maintenance
The active chlorine content of disinfecting solutions shall not exceed 12%. All disinfecting solution must
be flushed from all lines within the system. Industry accepted procedures, like ANSI/AWWA C651
Disinfecting Water Mains, should be followed for both new and repaired potable water lines.
Installation
Installation is similar to other flexible pipe products. Methods including direct bury, plowing or pulling are
applicable per local, state or federal guidelines for this application.
