4.2.4 Pipe lengths should be stored and placed on level ground. Pipe should bestored at the job site in the unit packaging provided by the manufacturer.Caution should be exercised to avoid compression, damage, ordeformation to the ends of the pipe. The interior of the pipe, as well as allend surfaces, should be kept free from dirt and foreign matter.

4.2.5 Pipe shall be handled and supported with the use of woven fiber pipeslings or approved equal. Care shall be exercised when handling the pipeto not cut, gouge, scratch or otherwise abrade the piping in any way.


4.2.6 If pipe is to be stored for periods of 1 year or longer, the pipe should beshaded or otherwise shielded from direct sunlight. Covering of the pipewhich allows for temperature build-up is strictly prohibited. Pipe shouldbe covered with an opaque material while permitting adequate aircirculation above and around the pipe as required to prevent excess heataccumulation.
