    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Defines requirements for thermoplastics ancillary access fittings for constructing gravity drains and sewers, other than conventional couplers, bends and branches included in BS EN 1401-1:1998. Covers access fittings of nominal sizes 110 to 160 along with necessary joints and accessories. Test methods, guidance and information on quality control tests are provided.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This British Standard specifies requirements for thermoplastics ancillary access fittings suitable for the construction of gravity drains and sewers, other than conventional branches, bends and couplers which are covered in BS EN 1401-1:1998. It is applicable to access fittings with nominal sizes of 110 and 160 together with necessary joints and accessories.

    Methods of test, associated guidance and information on quality control testing are given in Annex A, Annex B and Annex C.
