As the pipe is laid, each length shall be checked for alignment and grade. Pipe laying shall proceed upgrade with spigot ends pointing in the direction of flow.
A defective pipe, or pipe which has had its line or grade disturbed sufficiently to open the joint after laying, shall be taken up and replaced. All open ends in the pipe shall be stoppered. Stoppers shall have the same joints as the sewer pipe and shall be installed in wyes as the work progresses and in the pipe line when the work is not in progress.

All wyes shall be closed with stoppers described above. All house connections shall be made with the same materials and method of installation as herein described for the mains. In new developments, branch lines from main line wyes for house sewers shall be installed from the main to the sideline of the street right of way, at the time of installing the main sewer.
