T55~ of Pipe -
PVC Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 may be used for Pg~ instal!a~
tions ~ the follow~_ng m~nmer:
khen PVC Sd]edule 40 to 80 is used, it shall be made from
T~vpe I or Type II polyvinyl compounds as defined
D-1784~CST and as set forth in CS-272-85. Polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) pipe and fittings shall conform to the re-
quirements for .materials, dimensions~ and tolerances,
deflection load, cr~sh resistance, hycl~aulie burst resis-
tance, che~cal resistance, water resistance, flattening
resistance, impact resistance, joint tightness, markings and
labellings as set forth in CS-272-65. Solvent cement used
in joining PVC Pipe shall conform to the requirements as
set forth in CS-272-S5. Ail PVC pipe shall be properly
ma~ked to sh~ compliance with ~S-272~S5 by the National
Sanitation Foundation (NSF) or other approved testing labor-
atomy. The installation procedure for PVC Plastic d~ain~
waste, and vent shall be as follows:
Visibility of marking. Always position pipe and fittings
so that identifying markings are readily visible when
installed.
Joining Technique~.
(a) Cutting of pipe. Cut pipe square without ragged o~
buz~ed edges so that pipe ends seat squarely in the fitting
socket. Insert pipe to the full depth of the socket.
(b) Preparation of socket jof~ts. Clean all joining sur~
faces by wiping with a cloth d~pened vith ~,_ethyl ethyl
ketone, so that they are f~ee of di~t, grease and any forei~
matter. Apply solvent cement with a natu~a! bristle brnsh.
Apply a light t~dn coat of solvent cement first to the pipe
for a length equal to the socket dep'th. Immediately forum
the pipe and fittings together with a slight l~visting motion,
if possible, to insure full engagement of pipe into the
fitting socket.~ Reprove e~.'cess solvent eem~ant from the ex-
terior of joint with a clean dry cloth. Reasonable handl-
ing of the assembly is per~aissib!e wi~b~n ~.~ minutes after
joining. Do not attempt to distumb the pipe-fitting joint
after the cement Ires set~ d~mage to the joint and loss of
fit may result. Should any delay develop in assembly,
apply an additional coat of cement immediately prior to
Alignment. In ass~ebling plastic pipe and fittings, exercise
care to establish propem gmade of alignment before joining
wi~h solvent cement. Installation may not be satisfactory
if pipe and fittings are subject to strain by forced position-
ing to obtain grade o~ alignment. Do not bend the pipe.
Threaded connections. Do not thread the plastic pipe. Use
admptor fittings when transition from pipe to threaded eon~
struction is necessary. All fittings having, threads shall be
~readed with Av~rican Standard Taper Pipe Thread (ASA B2,1).
The plastic pipe-fitting joint ir, these fittings r~,~ast be of
the solvent cement type.
T~ansition fittings°
(a) Connections to traps. Use only approved type of tmaps
and co~nect them by m~ao~ of approved threaded tmap adaptors.
Solvent cement ~he t~ap adaptors to the plastic pipe.
(b) Connection to closet flanges. Install screw closet
flanges in the drainage system, by means of a threaded connec-
tion or solvent joint.
(c) Connection to nonplastic pipe. ~'~en conneeting plastic
'D~
pipe to othem types of Pm! mug, use only approved types of
fittings and adaptors designed for the specific transition
intended.
(d) ~ead tightness, l~,here a threaded joint is made, obtain
tightness by maw/mum hand tightening plus additional tighten-
lng with a ~ench not to exceed one f%~l turn.

more ~an five (5) feet, at ends of branches, and at all
points of change in direction. Support vertical piping in
accordance ,~.~ith recon~endations of the manufacturer. Support
trap arms in excess of three (8) feet as close as possible
to the trap.

smoo~ and of uniform grade ~,zith ei~er undisturbed soil or
a layer of selected and compacted backfill so that no
settlement will be encountered. Pipe must hear on this
n~terial throughout the entire length of its bsmret,
Exposure to element. Normal construction site handling
procedures can be fo!l~ed. It is good practice to store
pipe and fittings m~der suitable cover prior to installation.

transitions to hell-grad-spigot cast-iron soil pipe and
fittings and to bell~and-spigot pipe and fittings of other
