Installation Guide for Transite Ring-Tite Pressure Pipe
Johns-Manville
Copyright 1960

Asbestos is NOT mentioned, but it is well established that Transite contained asbestos during the 1960s.

This manual has outdated procedures for working with Transite pipe which would have created dusty conditions. For example, it has instructions on cutting pipe with pipe-cutters, motor-driven saws using abrasive discs, and with hand saws.  It specifically says to cut the pipe while dry.

This manual was written for the men who direct and do the actual work of handling and installing Transite Pressure Pipe.  It contains information on receiving and handling, distributing, excavating trench, supporting pipe, lowering into trench, assembly of pipe and coupling, use of short lengths, cutting and machining pipe, assembly at fittings, installation at hydrants, service connections, backfilling and tamping, pressure tests - leakage tests, repairs to damaged pipe, pulling pipe through casings, and bridge crossings.

Spiralbound, paperback, approx. 8" x 4.5",  128 pages.

Condition: Good.  Pages mostly clean and unmarked.
