Hi GDD,
There are issues on site with high ground water and inability to dewater (contamination). The only advantage with the flanges is to simplify the installation process and limit the dewatering.
Typically it would be socket fittings.
Thanks
That was the intention with the in line thrust block, I was just looking for advise on whether my understanding of that force (F) is correct.
Thanks for your help.
That is correct, it is flanged between A & B. However one thing I didn’t mention is the 22.5 deg bends are each rotated over one bolt hole. It is still symmetrical however, so I’m assuming the forces are still balanced?
I have attached the sketch in plan view.
Thanks...

Hi All,
I have a question regarding a below to above ground piping section I am currently designing.
The pipeline is a DN750 Ductile Iron pressure pipeline.
I have attached a sketch for reference.
I am looking at confirming what force an in line thrust block should be...
