Gives guidance on the proper application and installation of unplasticized polyvinyl chloride pipe for the conveyance of liquids under pressure. The choice of materials for particular applications is covered. Does not purport to cover reinforced pipe or UPVC used as a lining material bonded to polyester glass. The use of plastics pipes in services supplied from the mains of water undertakings is governed by the byelaws of the undertakings and these shall be strictly observed. Covers working pressure and effects of temperature, limitations, flow properties, jointing procedures, bending, storage, handling and transport, inspection, installation, test pressures and testing and repairs.
