DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS The distribution system is a network of storage tanks, pipes, valves, hydrants, service connections, and meters that are needed to get water from the point of production to the customer. The distribution system begins at the point where water enters the system at usable pressure. It ends at the customers side of the meter installation. This chapter will seek to cover features common to most distribution systems. Pipes Several different types of pipe are used in distribution systems. They all have advantages and disadvantages related to cost, installation, strength, and corrosion. The most common types of pipe are known by their abbreviations. Cast Iron and Ductile Iron Pipe Cast iron and ductile iron pipe are known for their strength and load bearing capacity. Most of the iron pipe that has been installed in the past 40 years is ductile iron pipe. Ductile iron is stronger and less rigid than gray cast iron pipe. The main disadvantages of iron pipe are that it is heavy and subject to corrosion from the inside and the outside. It should be coated with a corrosion resistant external coating and, in certain soil conditions, may require some type of cathodic protection to achieve its normal service life. Cast and ductile iron pipes can be joined by several different means. Flanged joints are used above ground. The most common means of joining them underground are the bell and spigot (O-ring push-on) and the mechanical joint (MJ) connections. Care must be taken when installing and bedding. CIP and DIP are both brittle and dont flex. The bell holes should only be as wide as the bell portion of the pipe. Otherwise, stresses from improper bedding can cause it to crack. Steel Pipe Steel pipe is lighter than iron pipe and is easier to handle and install. It is more flexible than iron pipe and doesnt require as much care when bedded in the trench. The main disadvantage of steel pipe is that it is very susceptible to
