* Charter Gas Pipe should never be used inside the building or structure. It should never be installed under the slab of a building. Always transition from polyethylene pipe to an appropriate product before entering the building, structure or basement.

PE Pipe Design Criteria:The design pressure for PE pipe is calculated based on the following equation:Design Pressure = [(2 x HDB at pipeline temperature) / (SDR-1)] x DF (Design Factor)

Table # 1

Interpolates the effect of HDB in accordance with PPI TR3

Design Pressure Ratings:In addition to the existing .32 DF (Design Factor), PHMSA (The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration ) issued a Plastic Pipe rule that allows the use of a .40 DF (Design Factor). The criteria to use a .40 DF (Design Factor) with PE pipe is shown in table 2.

* All Local, State and Federal Codes and Guidelines should be referenced when determining which DF is appropriate for your gas piping system.

Has a nominal pipe size of ≤12”. For pipe with a nominal pipe size ≥14”, the design pressure is limited to 100 Psig.







Jurisdictional Gas Pipelines:Gas Gathering pipelines transport gases and liquids from the source, like shale formations, to a processing facility, refinery or a transmission line. Both the Federal Government and the states have jurisdiction over onshore gathering pipelines. PHMSA (The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration) regulates both natural gas gathering pipelines and hazardous liquid gathering pipelines. It is the pipeline operator’s responsibility to know if their pipeline falls under PHMSA Jurisdiction.

For Jurisdictional Gas Pipelines - Charter PE 4710/PE100 ASTM D2513 Gas Pipe (Black with yellow stripes) should be used and PHMSA Guidelines should be followed.

Propane (LP Gas Vapor) Service:Charter Plastics PE 4710/PE100 Gas pipe may be used for transporting Vapor LP-Gas in underground distribution systems. It should only be used where the sizes, pressures and temperatures will not support condensation.

Refer to PPI TR-22 “Polyethylene Piping Distribution Systems for Components of Liquid Petroleum Gases”, for guidelines in using polyethylene pipe to transport propane gas.

• The pipe must be PE 2708 or PE 4710

• The resin should have an HDB of 1250 psi or greater

• Per ASTM D2513, “A Hydrostatic Design Basis of 1000 psi should be used in the design of PE pipe systems at temperatures of 73 ° F or lower”.

• NFPA 58 limits the maximum operating pressure of LP Gas Vapor service to 30 PSI @ 73.4°F

Safe Handling:Large diameter HDPE pipe can be heavy and extreme caution should be used when unloading bundles of pipe. Applicable PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) and proper handling equipment should always be utilized.

When installing coils of pipe, caution should be used, as the energy contained within that coil is rapidly released when the tape or the bands restraining the coil are cut.

To safely handle and store polyethylene pipe, refer to The Plastic Pipe Institute’s “Material Handling Guide” and follow the Safety Guidelines established by the Gas Utilities as well as all local, state and federal guidelines.




Installing:* Always contact your local “Call Before You Dig” number and contact your local Gas Utility prior to any

excavation, trenching or direction drilling.

* Charter Gas Pipe should never be used inside the building or structure. It should be installed underground. It should never be installed under the slab of a building.

Charter Pipe can be installed in open cut, horizontal directional drilling and re-lining installations.

Charter Plastics pipe shall be installed in accordance with CFR 49 PART 192 and all applicable federal, state and local codes and regulations.

Transitions from polyethylene pipe to products appropriate for in-building use, should occur outside the building.

Buried pipe must be supported by proper embedment material like sand or gravel. Refer to PPI’s “Handbook of Polyethylene Pipe” and follow as local, state or federal guidelines.

Joining PE 4710/PE100 Pipe:Charter Plastics Gas Pipe is based on outside diameters. Heat fusion is the preferred method for joining this pipe. Types of heat fusion include Butt, Socket, Saddle Fusion and Electrofusion.

All persons making fusions should be certified by the gas system operator and should follow the gas systems written fusion procedures. In addition, all DOT procedures should be followed when making joints to ensure the safety and the integrity of the system.

As per D.O.T. Regulations:• Each heat fusion joint (except for electrofusion joints), in a gas piping system must be made in accordance

with ASTM F2620 -12. (incorporated by reference in Part 192.7). Per PHMSA Ruling on Nov. 20 2018, “although electrofusion joints and fittings are not covered under ASTM F2620, they would ultimately need to comply with ASTM F1055.”

• All persons who make joints in polyethylene gas piping must be qualified under the operator’s written procedures (CFR 49, Part 192.285(a))

• The gas system operator must ensure that all persons who make or inspect joints are qualified (CFR 49, Part 192.285(d) and 192.287)

Polyethylene pipe may also be joined with Stab or OD Mechanical fittings designed for pipe made to D2513 Standards. A stiffener should be inserted when using OD Compression type fittings. The stiffener should be sized specifically for the pipe being installed and it should be long enough to equal the insertion depth of the pipe.

Check with the local gas utility for their guidelines and recommendations relative to using mechanical connections.

*Never use any lubricant on the pipe. Do not expose the pipe to direct flame.




Liquid Hydrocarbon Permeation:Permeation can occur with HDPE pipe that has been transporting fuel gases or that has been installed in an area contaminated with Liquid Hydrocarbons. The permeation is not visibly detectable, but permeated pipe will exhibit bubbling when exposed to heat during the fusion process. When this is observed, the fusion process should be stopped. The section of heated pipe should be cut away and the pipe should be joined with a mechanical coupling.

Long term or excessive exposure to Liquid Hydrocarbons can affect the pipe’s long-term Hydrostatic Strength and the system pressure should be evaluated to determine if a reduced DF (Design Factor) should be implemented.

Squeeze Off: Squeeze Off is a procedure that is used with HDPE and MDPE pipes to reduce or shut off flow. The pipe is squeezed between two parallel bars. When doing a squeeze off, follow ASTM F 1041 procedures and only use equipment meeting F1563 and approved by the pipe manufacturer and the gas utility.

*Never squeeze off more than once at the same point on the pipe.

Testing:Hydrostatic testing is the preferred method over Pneumatic testing for identifying leaks. The safety concern being that if a catastrophic failure occurs during pneumatic testing with a compressed gas, the energy of both the compressed gas as well as the pipeline stress energies are released. With Hydrostatic testing, only the stress energy of the pipeline is released.

Consult the protocols set forth by the local gas companies as well as any local, state and federal codes before attempting leak testing. Utilize all safety precautions.
