§ 102-92. Joints to be gastight and watertight; joint specifications.

A. 

All joints and connections shall be made gastight and watertight. No cement joints will be permitted.

B. 

Premolded gasket joints for hub and plain end cast-iron soil pipe shall be used and shall be a neoprene compression-type gasket which provides a positive double seal in the assembled joint. The gasket shall be a premolded one-piece unit, designed for joining the cast-iron hub and plain end soil pipe and fittings. The assembled joint shall be sealed by compression of the gasket between the exterior surface of the spigot and the interior surface of the hub. The joint shall be assembled following the manufacturer's recommendations, using acceptable lubricant and special pipe-coupling tools designed for that purpose. The plain spigot end shall be forced into the hub end of the pipe for the full depth of the hub itself. Lubricant shall be a bland, flax base, nontoxic material and shall not chemically attack the gasket material.

C. 

Joints for PVC sewer pipe shall follow the manufacturer's recommendations using properly designed couplings and rubber gaskets pursuant to the published information relating thereto and conforming to the applicable ASTM specification.
