Restrained Joint definition
Restrained Joint. All mechanical joint fittings shall be installed using a mechanical joint restraint incorporated into the follower gland. The restraining mechanism shall consist of individually actuated wedges that increase their resistance to pull-out as pressure or external forces increase. The device shall be capable of full mechanical joint deflection during assembly and the flexibility of the joint shall be maintained after burial. The joint restraint ring and its wedging components shall be made of grade 60-42-10 ductile iron conforming to ASTM A536-84. The wedges shall be ductile iron heat treated to a minimum hardness of 370 BHN. Dimensions of the gland shall be such that it can be used with the standardized mechanical joint bell conforming to ANSI/AWWA C111/A21.11 and ANSI/AWWA C153/A21.53 of the latest revision. Torque limiting twist-off nuts shall be used to insure proper actuation of the restraining wedges. The mechanical joint restraint shall have a rated working pressure of 350 psi. The restraint shall be the Series 1100 MEGALUG restraint as manufactured by EBAA Iron, Inc., or approved equal.
