Design considerations and construction and installation recommendations for pipelines incorporating pipes and fittings complying with BS 5480.

This Section of BS 8010 gives design considerations and recommendations for construction and installation of pressure or non-pressure pipelines incorporating glass reinforced thermosetting plastics pipes and fittings complying with BS 5480-1 and BS 5480-2 as applicable. It should be read in conjunction with BS 8010-1.

This British Standard code of practice is not intended to replace or duplicate hydraulic, mechanical or structural design manuals.

Descriptions of types of joints are given in Appendix A and general requirements for non-metallic materials likely to come into contact with potable water are given in Appendix B.

NOTE 1 A list of documents recommended for further reading for additional information and guidance is given in Appendix C.

NOTE 2 A format for a typical summary for pipeline records and maintenance arrangements is given in Appendix D.

NOTE 3 The titles of the publications referred to in this Section are listed on the inside back cover.
