(A) All joints and connections shall be made gastight and watertight. Cast iron pipe joints shall be firmly packed with oakum or hemp and filled with molten lead, Federal Specification AZ-1-156, not less than one inch in depth. Lead shall be run in one pouring and caulked tight. No paint, varnish, or other coatings shall be permitted on the jointing material until after the joint has been tested and approved. All joints in vitrified clay pipe or between vitrified clay pipe and other approved pipe shall be made with an approved prefabricated rubber or plastic material conforming to ASTM Specification C-425, latest revision, and installed clean and uninjured by handling or weather according to manufacturer's direction, completely "homed" into place. The cement-asbestos sewer pipe shall be jointed with compressed watertight rubber rings meeting ASTM Specification D-1869, latest revision, and installed clean, according to manufacturer's directions.
(B) The building sewer shall be connected into the public sewer, at the easement line or property line, only by authorized agents of the Superintendent, if a service branch is available at a suitable location. Where no properly located service branch is available, an authorized agent of the Superintendent shall cut a neat hole into the main line of the public sewer and install a suitable wye or tee saddle to receive the building sewer. The invert of the building sewer at the joint of connection with a wye saddle shall be in the upper quadrant of the main line of the public sewer. A neat workmanlike connection, not extending past the inner surface of the public sewer, shall be made and the saddle made secure and watertight by encasement in concrete or with epoxy cement specially prepared for this purpose. The first length of the building sewer after the connection to the public sewer shall be a wye-branch, with the branch laid on top pointing away from the public sewer, temporarily plugged for use in smoke testing of the building sewer.
