GENERAL INFORMATION
Scope:
This specication 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.
Specication:
Pipe shall be manufactured from virgin rigid ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) compounds with a minimum cell
class of 42222 as identied in ASTM D 3965. Fittings shall be manufactured from virgin rigid ABS compounds with a
cell class of 32222 as identied 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.
