B. 
Fittings:
Ductile iron and cast iron fittings, excluding tees in fire hydrant units, will be measured by the ton and paid for at the unit price bid per ton of fittings. Concrete thrust blocking and joint restraints at fittings shall be included in the bid price per ton of fittings.
C. 
Valves:
Valves with valve boxes, concrete collars, valve markers and, when required, operator extensions will be measured per each, excluding valves in fire hydrant units, for each size furnished and installed and will be paid for at the unit price bid per each.
