Full Description

This standard covers polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, machined PVC couplings, and fabricated PVC fittings manufactured for conveying potable water, reclaimed water, irrigation water, wastewater, or any fluid compatible with non-plasticized PVC.

The standard includes eight-dimension ratios (DRs) and nominal sizes ranging from 4 in. through 60 in. (100 mm through 1,500 mm). Standard pipe outside diameters (ODs) conform to the ductile iron and cast iron sizing system, referred to as cast iron or CIOD, and steel pipe sizing system, referred to as IPS (iron pipe size). Pressure classes range from 80 psi (550 kPa) to 305 psi (2,100 kPa).

This standard does not include injection-molded PVC fittings. Injection-molded PVC fittings are covered in ANSI/AWWA C907.
