AWWA C209-13 Cold-Applied Tape Coatings for Steel Water Pipe, Special Sections, Connections, and Fittings (PDF)

This standard describes protective exterior coatings that consist of cold-applied liquid adhesives and prefabricated tapes and their applications to special sections, connections, and fittings to be used for underground and underwater steel water pipelines protected with organic coatings, such as those described in ANSI/AWWA C203, ANSI/AWWA C210, ANSI/AWWA C213, ANSI/AWWA C214, ANSI/AWWA C215, and ANSI/AWWA C216. These liquid adhesives and tapes can be used for repair of ANSI/AWWA C214 machine-applied coatings in accordance with the tape manufacturer's recommendations. These liquid adhesives and tapes are not intended for use with either exposed steel joints or sections of steel pipe where coatings of cement mortar or concrete have been applied directly onto the bare steel pipe. Tape coatings conforming to this standard may be field- or shop-applied.
