GENERAL INFORMATION
Scope:
This specication covers ABS/PVC composite, cellular (foam core) pipe and ABS DWV ttings used in sanitary drain,
waste and vent (DWV) and sewer applications. This system is intended for use in non-pressure applications where
the operating temperature will not exceed 140° F.
Specication:
Pipe shall be manufactured from virgin rigid ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) compounds with a minimum cell
class of 42222 as identied in ASTM D 3965. Fittings shall be manufactured from virgin rigid ABS compounds with a
cell class of 32222 as identied in ASTM D 3965.
ABS/PVC/ABS foam core pipe shall be Iron Pipe Size (IPS) conforming to ASTM F 1488. Injection molded ABS DWV
ttings shall conform to ASTM D 2661. All pipe and ttings shall be manufactured in the United States. All systems
shall utilize a separate waste and vent system. Pipe and ttings shall conform to NSF International Standard 14.
Installation:
Installation shall comply with the latest installation instructions published by Charlotte Pipe and Foundry and shall
conform to all applicable plumbing, re, and building code requirements. Buried pipe shall be installed in accordance
with ASTM D 2321 and ASTM F 1668. Solvent cement joints shall be made with a solvent cement conforming
to ASTM D 2235. The system shall be protected from chemical agents, re-stopping materials, thread sealant,
plasticized-vinyl products or other aggressive chemical agents not compatible with
ABS compounds. The system shall
be hydrostatically tested after installation. WARNING!
Never test with or transport/store compressed air or gas in ABS
pipe or ttings. Doing so can result in explosive failures and cause severe injury or death.
