3、corrected 5.3 in January 2016.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers the minimum performance andmaterial requirements for resilient connectors used for connec-tions between reinforced concrete manholes conforming toSpecification C478 and pipes,between wastewater structuresand pipes,and between precast
4、 reinforced concrete pipe andlaterals.1.1.1 These connectors are designed to minimize leakagebetween the pipe and manhole,and between the pipe andlateral.1.2 Acomplete metric companion to Specification C923 hasbeen developedC923M;therefore,no metric equivalents arepresented in this specification.NOT
5、E1This specification covers the design,material,and perfor-mance of the resilient connection only.Connections covered by thisspecification are adequate for hydrostatic pressures up to 13 psi(30 ft)without leakage when tested in accordance with Section 7.Infiltration orexfiltration quantities for an
6、installed system are dependent upon manyfactors other than the connections between manhole structures and pipe,and allowable quantities must be covered by other specifications andsuitable testing of the installed pipeline and system.1.3 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest met
