New Construction: When possible, position the pipe in
the proper location prior to pouring the slab. To prevent
wear as the pipe expands and contracts, protect the pipe
with a layer of insulation as shown in Figure 17. When
the slab is poured prior to installation, create a chase
through the slab for the service lines with 4 inch PVC
street elbows and sleeves.

Retrofit Construction
Trench as close as possible to the footing. Bring the loop
pipe up along the outside wall of the footing until it is
higher than the slab. Enter the building as close to the
slab as the construction allows. Shield and insulate the
pipe to protect it from damage and the elements as shown
in Figure 18.
