Abstract

This specification illustrates the standard fitting geometries and laying lengths of plastic fittings intended for use with outside diameter controlled pipes in drain, waste, and vent (DWV) applications.

This abstract is a brief summary of the referenced standard. It is informational only and not an official part of the standard; the full text of the standard itself must be referred to for its use and application. ASTM does not give any warranty express or implied or make any representation that the contents of this abstract are accurate, complete or up to date.

1. Scope

1.1 This specification provides standard fitting geometries and laying lengths for plastic fittings intended for use in drain, waste, and vent applications. (See Specifications D2661 and D2665 .)

1.2 Fittings meeting the requirements of this standard specification are designed for use with outside diameter controlled pipe. The inside diameter can vary significantly as the wall thickness and outside diameter varies and therefore is not suitable for use as a fitting socket.

1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
