Description / Abstract:
This specification covers poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) profile
wall perforated and nonperforated pipe and fittings, 100 to 1200 mm
(4 to 48 in.) nominal inside diameter, for use in nonpressure storm
drains, culverts, underdrains, and other subsurface drainage
systems providing either soiltight or watertight joints.
Industrial waste disposal lines should be installed only with
the specific approval of the governing code authority since
chemicals not commonly found in drains and temperatures in excess
of 60°C (140°F) may be encountered.
Pipe and fittings produced to this specification should be
installed in accordance with ASTM D2321 and the manufacturer's
recommendation.
