scope:

This standard describes Pressure Class 235 (PC 235) polyvinyl chloride (PVC) injection-molded fittings with push-on rubber-gasketed joints in nominal sizes 4 in. through 12 in. (100 mm through 300 mm)* for conveying potable water, reclaimed water, irrigation water, wastewater, or any fluid compatible with nonplasticized PVC. The fittings are for use with PVC and molecularly oriented polyvinyl chloride (PVCO) pressure pipe having an outside diameter conforming to the dimensions of cast-iron pipe as described in ANSI/AWWA C900, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Pressure Pipe and Fabricated Fittings, 4 In. Through 60 In. (100 mm Through 1,500 mm), AWWA Manual M23-PVC Pipe-Design and Installation, and ANSI/AWWA C909, Molecularly Oriented Polyvinyl Chloride (PVCO) Pressure Pipe, 4 In. and Larger.

Purpose

The purpose of this standard is to provide the minimum requirements for PVC injection-molded pressure fittings, 4 in. to 12 in. (100 mm to 300 mm), for underground PVC and PVCO pressure-pipe systems.

* Throughout the body of this standard, metric equivalents (rounded) are set in parentheses next to the US customary units.
