scope:
This standard describes polyethylene (PE) pressure pipe and fittings made from materials conforming to standard PE materials designation code PE4710.* The pipe and fittings are primarily intended for use in transporting potable water, wastewater, and reclaimed water in either buried (open-cut and trenchless), marine, or aboveground installations. The standard describes multiple dimension ratios (DRs) for nominal pipe and fitting sizes ranging from 4 in. through 65 in. (100-1,650 mm). Pipe and fitting outside diameters (ODs) conform to the outside diameter dimensions of iron pipe (IPS) or to equivalent ODs for ductileiron (DIOD) pipe.
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to provide purchasers, manufacturers, and suppliers with the minimum requirements for PE pressure pipe and fittings, 4-65 in. (100-1,650 mm), for potable water, wastewater, and reclaimed water distribution and transmission.
* Earlier editions of ANSI/AWWA C906 included other PE material designations. For removed designations, refer to previous editions of ANSI/AWWA C906, ASTM D3350, PPI TR-3, and PPI TR-4.
