- 2.2 WASH TROUGHS
-
- A. Material: Fiberglass reinforced polyester resin, 1/4
- inch thick, average; inside surface of smooth gel coat
- finish; outside surface resin sealed with no exposed
- glass fibers; molded-in color with ultraviolet inhibitor.
- 1. Tensile strength (ASTM D 638): 14,000 psi.
- 2. Flexural strength (ASTM D 790): 25,000 psi
- 3. Flexural modulus (ASTM D 790): 1,000,000 psi.

-
- B. Construction: Comply with requirements of ANSI/AWWA F101
- and ANSI/NSF 61; provide NSF labelled products and proof
- of certification.
- 1. Designed to support applied water loadings at each
- location.
- 2. Designed to resist deflection under full buoyant and
- gravity water loads with maximum upward and downward
- deflection less than or equal to L/1000 where L
- equals the unsupported trough length; maximum
- deflection at midpoint not greater than 3/16 inch.
- 3. Round bottom, vertical sides.
- 4. Top edges straight with not more than 1/8 inch
- deviation from true plane.
- 5. Longitudinal steel stiffening ribs integrally molded
- on the outside of troughs to ensure rigidity.
- 6. Plastic spacer rods to maintain uniform width over
- the length of trough.
- 7. 2 inch wide, 1/2 inch thick wall, grouting rib molded
- to outside of each trough at the gullet end to act as
- a water stop when trough is grouted in place.
- 8. Slotted holes in closed end of trough to allow a
- minimum vertical level adjustment of 1 inch.
