IFB 26-012 TAPPING SLEEVES

SPECIFICATIONS

The American Water Works Association (AWWA) issued a statement on 8/17/12 that the US Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) has begun implementing changes to Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) 1417 provisions to

reduce lead in drinking water. Therefore, Federal legislation Senate Bill S.3874 (effective 1/4/14) makes it unlawful

for any person or business to introduce into commerce, sell, or offer for sale products for use in systems providing

water intended for human consumption, in which the products’ wetted surface (the surface area that comes into

contact with the water) contains more than 0.25% lead by average weight. Back inventory that does not meet

0.25% lead free calculations will not be accepted.

All tapping sleeves shall be full stainless-steel sleeve. Tapping sleeves being 12-inch and smaller shall have a

minimum working pressure of 200 psi and larger sleeves shall have a minimum working pressure of 150 psi. Tapping

sleeves shall be full stainless-steel sleeve and shall be in accordance with AWWA Specification C104.

Quality Assurance

The manufacturer shall, upon request, furnish a notarized certification to the Mobile Area Water and Sewer System

that all items were manufactured in full compliance with these specifications.

The entire process of the manufacture of items to be furnished under this specification shall be open at all times to

the inspection of the Mobile Area Water and Sewer System Board Engineer or his designated alternate. All defects

shall be corrected to his satisfaction, or the material will be rejected. Approval at time of plant inspection shall not

prevent rejection if defects are subsequently discovered.
