Notes:
*"R" for sizes 4" and 6" is .120"; for 8"-12" is .145"; for 14" and 16" is .165"; for 18"-24" is .185"; and for 30" and 36" is .215".
**Minimum nominal wall thickness of centrifugally cast ductile iron pipe furnished with Grooved Joint. Thicknesses above correspond to Special Thickness Class 53 for 4"-16" diameter, and Special Thickness Classes 54 and 55 for diameters 18" and 20", respectively, and Special Thickness Class 56 for diameters 24"-36".
+Pressure ratings established by coupling manufacturer.
++Maximum length for 4" size is 17'-6", for 6"-24" sizes is 20'0" and for 30"-36" sizes is 19'6". Shorter lengths than the maximum lengths can, of course, be furnished.
+++30" and 36" sizes are not included in AWWA C606.
For tolerances see AWWA C606.
Standard fittings are available with Grooved Joints and are normally available only with rigid grooving.
Couplings for Grooved Joints may be furnished by AMERICAN but are not of our design or manufacture. Check AMERICAN for details and recommendations.

Notes:
*AMERICAN Shouldered Joints are furnished on fittings and on statically cast pipe as shown above left. On centrifugally cast pipe the Shouldered Joint is furnished with welded steel end ring fabricated as shown above right. Consult AMERICAN regarding specific requirements.
Wall thickness will vary according to service requirements and with method of casting -- centrifugal or static.
Shouldered Joints with other dimensions can be furnished under certain circumstances. Check AMERICAN for details.
Couplings for Shouldered Joints are not designed or manufactured by AMERICAN, but may be furnished on request. Check AMERICAN for recommendations.
**Pressure rating established by coupling manufacturer.
+66" couplings are used with 64" pipe.
Welded rings can be furnished on minimum pressure classes of ductile iron pipe. Maximum laying length is 19'6" and minimum laying length is 1'6" for all sizes.
Check AMERICAN if smaller sizes of shouldered end pipes are desired.
