Processing, Connection & Installation Guidelines
1. Cutting & Trimming

| Butt Fusion/Welding | Large diameter pipes with special requirements | Use dedicated thermal butt fusion equipment to heat pipe ends and fuse them together. | High joint strength, integrity |
3. Laying and Installation Key Points
- Trench Foundation: Trench bottom should be level, continuous, and free of sharp stones. A sand bedding layer may be necessary.
- Burial Depth & Backfilling: Determine burial depth based on ring stiffness and surface load. Backfill should be compacted in layers to avoid localized impact.
- Fixing & Protection: Use pipe clamps for fixing in exposed or aerial installations. Add protective sleeves when passing through obstacles.

Usage and Maintenance
- Pre-Installation Inspection: Check pipes for cracks, holes, severe deformation, and ensure sockets/spigots are intact.
