3. Terminology
3.1 Definitions—Definitions are in accordance with Terminology F412, and abbreviations are in accordance with Terminology
D1600, unless otherwise specified. The abbreviation of poly(vinyl chloride) plastics is PVC.
3.1.1 The term PSM is not an abbreviation but rather an arbitrary designation for a product having certain dimensions.
4. Significance and Use
4.1 The requirements of this specification are intended to provide pipe and fittings suitable for non-pressure drainage of sewage
and surface water.
NOTE 1—Industrial waste disposal lines should be installed only with the specific approval of the cognizant code authority since chemicals not commonly
found in drains and sewers and temperatures in excess of 60 °C (140 °F) may be encountered.
NOTE 2—See D2321 Standard Practice for Underground Installation of Thermoplastic Pipe for Sewers and Other Gravity-Flow Applications for
installation recommendations.
5. Basic Materials
5.1 Pipe shall be made of PVC plastic having a cell classification of 12454 or 12364 as defined in Specification D1784.
5.2 Fittings shall be made of PVC plastic having a cell classification of 12454 or 13343 as defined in Specification D1784.
5.3 Pipe and Fitting—Compounds that have different cell classifications, because one or more properties are superior to those of
the specified compounds, are also acceptable.
5.4 Rework Material—The manufacturer shall use only his own clean pipe or fitting rework material; the pipe and fittings
produced shall meet all the requirements of this specification.
6. Joining Systems
6.1 Solvent Cement Joints for Pipe and Fittings—In the solvent cement joint, the pipe spigot wedges into the tapered socket and
the surfaces fuse together. The tapered socket may be a portion of a molded fitting or it may be a belled end of the pipe section.
Formed bells shall be concentric with the pipe axis. Fittings meeting the requirements of Specification D3034 shall also be
permitted to be used with pipe meeting the requirements of this standard.
6.1.1 The assembly of joints shall be in accordance with Practice D2855.
6.1.2 Joint Tightness—Joints made with pipe and fittings shall show no signs of leakage when tested in accordance with 8.9.

similar materials shall meet all of the requirements in 7.4.2 and 7.4.3.
NOTE 4—Refer to Appendix X3 for geometric configurations of some of the fittings being produced. Consult the individual manufacturer for laying
lengths.
7.4.2 Fabricated Fittings General Requirements:
7.4.2.1 Pipe used in fabricated fittings shall meet all quality and dimensional requirements listed in the standard for that pipe.
7.4.2.2 Pipe used in fabricated fittings shall have a wall thickness equal to or greater than the wall thickness of the pipes to which
the fitting (or that part of the fitting) will be joined.
F2658 − 24
7.4.2.3 No part of the spur or branch shall protrude into the waterway of the fitting more than 0.070 in.
7.4.2.4 All edges and joints exposed to sewage shall be rounded and free from any rough parts that could catch solids.
7.4.2.5 No fitting shall have an inside diameter dimension smaller than the base inside diameter listed in Table X1.1 for that pipe
size and DR.
7.4.2.6 All welds and solvent cement joints shall be sound and free of visible defects.
7.4.3 Fabrication Joint Test Requirements:
7.4.3.1 These test requirements apply only to tee, wye, and bend fabricated fittings that are manufactured using fabrication
methods that join together a combination of pipe sections or pipe sections and molded parts to form a fitting configuration. Other
fitting configurations using the same manufacturing procedures as those tested successfully shall be suitable for sale and use.
Fittings fabricated from a single-piece of pipe to form Bends and Sweeps shall not be subject to this requirement.
NOTE 5—A brittle fitting may violently fragment during testing. To preclude serious injury or death, suitable and appropriate safety procedures shall be
used during any test procedure.
7.4.3.2 Fabricated fittings shall be supported along the fitting centerline on a flat wooden block or blocks as shown in Figs. 1 and
2.
(1) The width of the wooden blocks shall be not less than 66 % of the nominal fitting body size being tested for fabricated
fittings up to 18 in. and 12 in. (305 mm) in width for nominal body sizes over 18 in.
(2) The thickness of the wooden blocks shall be neither less than, nor more than 1 in. (25.4 mm) greater than the difference
between the largest outside diameter on the bell and the outside of the body being tested.
(3) The wooden blocks shall stop 1 6 ⁄8 in. (25.4 6 3.2 mm) from the fitting bells and when required for bends shall be mitered
as indicated in Fig. 2 so that the wooden blocks cover the entire centerline of the fabricated fitting being tested.
NOTE 6—The wooden blocks shall be made from an available softwood and the type of wood shall be noted on the test report.
NOTE 7—When comparative testing is being performed between labs the same type of softwood blocks shall be used.
7.4.4 Deflect the fabricated fitting by applying the load, calculated from the values given in Table 5 to the body of the fitting as
shown in Fig. 1. The body length for this calculation shall not include any part of a taper or transitional area between the fitting
body and the bell as shown in Fig. 2. Apply the calculated load at a constant rate over a 1 to 2 min period and then maintain the
load for 5 (five) minutes. The calculated load required shall be applied to a second wooden block or blocks that are located along
the fitting centerline on top of the fitting as shown in Fig. 2.
