7.0 C.I. Pipes:
7.1 PROVIDING, LAYING OF PIPES AND JOINTING :
The Contractor will have to provide pipes and rubber rings after
duly approved by the Engineer-in-charge in a phased programme
immediately after receiving the work order. The pipes with any
CIDCO OF MAHARASHTRA LIMITED SL. PG. NO. C.A. NO. 02/CIDCO/EE(B&U-I)/2010-11
defects or cracked pipes shall be immediately replaced by the
Contractor. In order to avoid damage to the pipes especially the
spigot end, the pipe should not be dragged along concrete and
similar hard surfaces. Pipes and specials shall be stacked near to
Contractor’s Chowki / site in a manner so that under no
circumstances inconvenience is caused to other agency to traffic or
casual injury to pedestrains.
7.2 The pipes and specials before laying shall be brushed internally
throughout the length to remove any soil or stones that may have
accumulated therein. Inside of socket and outside of the spigot
shall be thoroughly cleared.
7.3 The pipes shall be lowered in trenches carefully, in straight and
full length as far as possible. Maximum deviation allowed will 2
½% where site condition demand C.I. pipes and specials shall be
allowed to the cut to the required dimensions with the pipe cutting
machines or by hand cut as may directed by the Engineer.
7.4 (a) On lowering the pipe in trenches, they will have to be jointed by
means of rubber rings (tyton joints). The rubber rings of different
diameter are to be procured and transported to the site by the
Contractors. The Contractors are to ensure that only rubber rings
are allowed for Tyton joints. In no circumstances, the Contractor
shall be allowed tolay the pipes in trenches directly. They shall
use ropes and other required supports while laying of pipes.
CIDCO OF MAHARASHTRA LIMITED SL. PG. NO. C.A. NO. 02/CIDCO/EE(B&U-I)/2010-11
(b) Jointing :
Before assembling the joint, the spigot of pipe and the
interior of the socket of the adjacent pipe should be thoroughly
cleaned. Insertion of the gasket i.e. (rubber ring) can be facilitated
by the bulb seating inside the socket.
7.5 The gasket should be wiped clean, fluxed and then placed in the
socket with the bulb towards the back of the socket. The groove in
the gasket must be located on the retaining bed in the socket and the
retaining heel of the SBR firmly bedded on its seating.
7.6 It is necessary to ensure that the SBR fits evenly around the whole
circumference removing any bulges which would prevent the proper
entry of the spigot end. In the larger diameters, this operation may
be assisted by forming a second loop in the gasket opposite the first,
then pressing the loops flat one after the other.
7.7 JOINTING OF C.I.PIPES, SPECIALS AND APPURTENANCES
BY LEAD :
The joint between two C.I. Pipes shall be made by the use of rubber
rings (tyton) while any other joint wherein rubber ring can not be
used, (e.g. joint between C.I. pipes and specials) lead joint shall be
made by the contractor as specified.
CIDCO OF MAHARASHTRA LIMITED SL. PG. NO. C.A. NO. 02/CIDCO/EE(B&U-I)/2010-11
7.7.1 After the Engineer has checked and certified that pipes, specials and
appurtenances are laid in proper alignment and level, the sterilized
spun yarn of approved quality shall be driven tightly against the
inside base of the socket with suitable tool. A ring of hump rope
covered with clay is wrapped around the pipes at the end of the
socket leaving a hole into which the molten lead shall be poured.
The lead used shall be soft and of approved quality consisting of
99.99% pure on analysis and shall confirm to IS 782 of 1962. The
average consumption of jointing materials shall generally be in
accordance with IS 3114 of 1965 as amended upto date (refer table
No.1 below). The contractor shall bear the expenses of testing the
lead in laboratory if demanded by the engineer. All the jointing
materials, such as spun yarn, pig lead, jointing tools and melting
equipments shall be provided by the contractor.

( The quality given above is provisional and 2% variation may be allowed ) 7.7.2 Caulking the joint shall be done after the lead is poured. All excess
lead protruding outside of the socket shall be removed with a flat
chisel and then caulked a number of times (minimum three) all along
the circumferential joints to make the joint sound and watertight.
The joint when completed should be flush, beat and even with the
socket. Where the pipes are not laid in continuous lengths but in
stretches, the open ends of the pipes shall be provided with wooden
plugs covered with Hussein cloth to prevent access to dirt etc. At
certain places for jointing two faces of pipes a collar joint will have
to be provided if directed by the engineer. The collar joint will be
paid under the same rate as for socket and spigot, but one collar joint
will be treated as two joints of the spigot and socket type.
7.7.3 After completion of pipe laying work in whole length or in parts as
decided by the Engineer, the trench shall be partially filled back
except at the joints before taking up the hydraulic test. In each case
the contractor has to close both ends of the section of pipe line to be
tested either by providing cap, blank flange or by sluice valve as per
directions of the engineer. If necessary both the ends shall be
CIDCO OF MAHARASHTRA LIMITED SL. PG. NO. C.A. NO. 02/CIDCO/EE(B&U-I)/2010-11
properly anchored by providing 1:2:4 c.c. blocks of required
dimensions. Payment will be made for providing these c.c. blocks
under the respective items. Contractors shall provide required
number of plug points with ferrule of required diameters to serve as
injection points, air relief points etc. On the completion of the test,
these points shall be closed by the plugs by the contractor. No
separate payment will be made for this. The contractor shall make
necessary arrangement to fill the section of main to be tested by
taking suitable size, connection from existing main nearby or from
any other source. The charges for water supplied, for making and
removing connection will have to be borne by the contractor only.
7.7.4 Testing will be carried out by contractors under the guidance of
Engineer. Contractor shall arrange for required machinery,
equipment and technical staff for testing the pipeline. The pipeline
shall be tested for 9 kg/cm2pressure for M.S. lines and 7.5 kg/cm2
pressure for CI pipe line.
If the first test is not found satisfactory, repeated tests after the
necessary repairs will be undertaken and procedure as mentioned
above shall be followed.
7.7.5 When the section of the pipe line is tested successfully, the
contractor shall back fill the portion as per direction of the Engineer.
The cost of testing the pipe line shall be deemed to have been
included in the cost of laying the pipeline and no separate payment
shall be made as referred above.
CIDCO OF MAHARASHTRA LIMITED SL. PG. NO. C.A. NO. 02/CIDCO/EE(B&U-I)/2010-11
7.8 Appurtenances :

contractor himself and they himself shall make their own
arrangements to purchased will consists of tail pieces and required
number of nuts and bolts, similarly, S.P. hydrants will consists of
body, one S.V. duck foot bend tail piece, nuts and bolts. The rate
includes the cost of transport including loading and unloading,
lowering in trenches and flanged joints alongwith the cost of

shall provided by the contractor without any extra cost.
7.8.1 Before valves & hydrants are fixed, they shall be cleaned and
greased. It should be seen that all the parts are in perfect working
condition. The tail pieces shall be jointed to C.I. Pipes by socket and
spigot joints at both ends or by a collar by means of lead joints and
the cost of making socket and spigot joint and the cost of making
lead joints will be paid under respective items. The cutting of pipes
and specials necessary during the process of the laying will have to
be done by the contractor without any extra cost.
7.8.2 Providing and fixing of blank flanges :
The contractor has to procure blank flanges. The contractor shall fix
them on the pipe ends, wherever necessary and as directed by the
Engineer. (the blank flanges and caps will be required for closing
