Overview
ASTM F1866-23 is the standard specification developed by ASTM International for fabricated Poly (Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) plastic Schedule 40 drainage and drain, waste, and vent (DWV) fittings. This standard covers requirements and test methods for fabricated PVC fittings that are used for sanitary waste, stormwater, and liquid waste drainage systems in conjunction with piping manufactured to ASTM D2665 or F891. The fittings covered by this standard may be produced from PVC pipe, or from a combination of pipe and injection molded parts, and are joined using solvent cement, gaskets, or a combination of both. Compliance with this standard ensures fittings possess the appropriate mechanical, physical, and dimensional properties for reliable performance in drainage and vent systems.
Key Topics
- Scope and Application: Outlines requirements for fabricated PVC schedule 40 drainage and DWV fittings used in plumbing and wastewater systems.
- Material Requirements: Specifies use of PVC compounds (meeting ASTM D1784) and compliant gaskets (per ASTM F477 or F913).
- Joint Types: Allows both solvent cement and gasketed joints, setting requirements for bond area and joint integrity.
- Dimensional Standards: Details tolerances for spigot diameter, spigot length, wall thickness, socket diameter, and socket depth to ensure compatibility and leak-free assembly.
- Test Methods: Includes resistance to bending, leak testing, and bond area verification to validate structural performance.
- Quality Assurance: States product marking, inspection, retest, certification, and proper packaging requirements.
Applications
ASTM F1866-23 fittings are fundamental to the construction and maintenance of modern sanitary waste, stormwater, and liquid waste drain systems. They are designed for use with schedule 40 PVC pipe as specified in ASTM D2665 or F891. Practical applications include:
- Residential and Commercial Buildings: Used in plumbing systems for drainage, waste, and vent applications.
- Stormwater Management: Enables diversion and conveyance of stormwater in civil engineering projects.
- Industrial and Institutional Facilities: Facilitates the safe removal of liquid waste and venting in large-scale infrastructure.
- Retrofitting and Repairs: Provides a standardized solution for replacing or expanding existing PVC drainage networks.
Fittings manufactured and tested to ASTM F1866-23 ensure compatibility with standard schedule 40 pipe sizes and deliver leak resistance, structural integrity, and long service life.
Related Standards
When using or specifying ASTM F1866-23 fabricated PVC fittings, it is important to consider additional related ASTM standards for piping systems:
- ASTM D2665: Specification for PVC plastic drain, waste, and vent pipe and fittings
- ASTM F891: Coextruded PVC plastic pipe with a cellular core
- ASTM D1784: Rigid PVC compounds for pipes and fittings
- ASTM D2564: Solvent cements for PVC piping systems
- ASTM F477/F913: Elastomeric seals (gaskets) for joining plastic pipe
- ASTM D3212: Joints for drain and sewer plastic pipes using flexible elastomeric seals
- ASTM D2855: Practice for making solvent cement joints with tapered sockets
Each of these standards contributes to a reliable and consistent PVC drainage and DWV system, supporting quality, safety, and regulatory compliance within the construction and plumbing industries.

accordance with 10.1.3. In the case of fittings fabricated from pipe sections, the thickness of the wall in the bell and branch area
shall be considered satisfactory if it was formed from pipe meeting those requirements.
6.4 Solvent Cement Sockets:
6.4.1 Socket Diameter—The inside diameter of the fitting socket shall meet the requirements as specified in Table 2 when
measured in accordance with 10.1.4.
6.4.2 Socket Depths—The socket depth shall meet the requirements as given in Table 2 when measured in accordance with 10.1.5.
6.5 Gasket Joint Sockets—The minimum depth and maximum projection for gasket sockets, show in Fig. 1, shall meet the
dimensional values given in Table 3. Measurements shall be made in accordance with Test Method D2122. All other dimensions
shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.
7. Properties
7.1 Resistance to Bending—Fabricated fittings shall be tested in accordance with 10.2. The bond shall not show any sign of
cracking, splitting, or separation as seen by the naked eye.
7.2 Leak Test—After completing the Resistance to Bending test, the fabrication joint shall be checked for leakage in accordance
with 10.3. Fittings subjected to these tests shall be discarded.
7.3 Solvent Weld Bond Area—The bond area for the manufacturer’s solvent welds shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s
standard design dimensions and tolerances, and the insertion bond depth shall be not less than 0.75 in. all around the perimeter.
Joints shall be made in accordance with Practice D2855.
8. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance
8.1 The fittings shall be homogeneous throughout, and free from visible cracks, holes, foreign inclusions, or other defects.
Scratches deeper than 10 % of the wall thickness shall be considered unacceptable. The fittings shall be uniform in color, opacity,
density, and other physical properties.
9. Sample and Conditioning
9.1 Sampling—The selection of fitting samples shall be as agreed upon between the purchaser and the manufacturer. In case of
no prior agreement, samples selected by the testing laboratory s
