(A) Deflection from a straight line or grade as required by horizontal or vertical alignments or offsets shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.

(C) All pipe shall be laid and maintained to the required lines and grades as indicated on the plans. Fittings shall be installed at the locations shown on the plans.
(D) At times when work is not in progress, the open ends of pipes and fittings shall be securely closed so that no trench water, earth or other substance will enter the pipes or fittings.
(E) No pipe shall be laid in water or when the trench or weather conditions are unsuitable for proper installation.
(F) When the proposed elevation of the force main conflicts with the elevation of an existing gravity sewer, water main, gas main or other structure, the force main shall be deepened so as to avoid said conflict.
(G) A pipe shall be laid with bell ends facing in the direction of the laying. Pipe ends shall be clear of dirt and debris before the connection is made.
