Hi
this is a project at a local garbage dump. The ground is considered Cl1 Div1 due to gas emissions from the decomposing garbage, and the specs call for HDPE with fusion fittings underground. I am running to a vault, which is Div2, where the engineer has called for sch80 PVC for corrosion resistance.
I need to install a fusion HDPE/PVC transition fitting to go from HDPE to PVC, and then install a seal.To do that I need to install a male adapter on the transition fitting to attach the seal, but the code calls for no other fittings, not even a coupling, before the seal leaving the Div 1 area. How can I attach a seal to a piece of PVC without a fitting? The code talks about threaded steel transitions for below grade PVC transitions to above grade work, but steel is not in the picture for this spec, its all plastic. thanks
