I know the size (2-inches)
I know the material (stainless steel)
I know the flow (very low - 5 to 10 gpm max)
I know the length (about 1000 feet)
I know the liquid (groundwater non-haz)

I just don't know what else I have to include for the design of this run (i.e. clean-outs/valves/other).

What else do you include what else would be standard when installing this run at a chemical plant???
Where can I find details showing these components???

Thanks for any ideas

Pressure rating? (I am assuming 150# ANSI?)
Pressure relief devices in case you block in? (Above ground in sunlight?)
Block/isolation valves?
Bleed valves? (Maybe not.)
Low temp? (You didn't say where you are.)
Heat tracing? (You didn't say where you are.)
Slope? (Is this pumped or gravity system?)
Insulation? (I guess this depends if you are heating?)
Flanging or threading?

On a total tangent. Stainless for a water drain line? Wouldn't CS be cheaper?

Have you read FAQ731-376 to make the best use of Eng-Tips Forums?
 
What is the line connected to at the up-stream end (starting point)?
What is the line connected to at the down-stream end (outlet point)?
Is this line to be run on supports above ground ot buried underground?
Are there any shut-off requirements?
What are the fabrication, welding requirements?
Is there any testing requirements?

You may want to consider talking to an experienced piper. Have him or her look at the actual site and give you some comments.
 
I guess it wasn't as simple as I thought.

It's in Mississippi.
It's above gound on supports in sunlight.
It's being pumped from sump to WW treatment facility (not sure what outlet connection will be).
For some reason the Plant wants Stainless instead of CS - they say it's more economical in the long run for them.
I'm assuming pressure/leak tested before use are only requirements.

Thanks for your thoughts.
 
I don't know the temperatures in Mississippi, so the heating and insulation may not be needed.

Otherwise, I agree with pennpiper - you should maybe getn someone to take a look at your stuff.

I'm still surprised by the stainless steel though. But hey, if it's cheaper.

you could probably downsize to 1 1/2 inch pipe and be ok
