ASTM D2464-23

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
Designation: D2464 − 15 D2464 − 23 An American National Standard
Standard Specification for
Threaded Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) Plastic Pipe Fittings,
Schedule 80
This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2464; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.
1. Scope*
1.1 This specification covers poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) threaded Schedule 80 pipe fittings. Included are requirements for
materials, workmanship, dimensions, and burst pressure.
NOTE 1—Threaded CPVC plastic pipe fittings, Schedule 80, which were formerly included in this standard, are now covered by Specification F437.
1.2 The products covered by this specification are intended for use with the distribution of pressurized liquids only, which are
chemically compatible with the piping materials. Due to inherent hazards associated with testing components and systems with
compressed air or other compressed gases some manufacturers do not allow pneumatic testing of their products. Consult with
specific product/component manufacturers for their specific testing procedures prior to pneumatic testing.
NOTE 2—Pressurized (compressed) air or other compressed gases contain large amounts of stored energy which present serious safety hazards should a
system fail for any reason.
1.3 The text of this specification references notes, footnotes, and appendixes which provide explanatory material. These notes and
footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the specification.
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are provided for
information only.
1.5 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Section 8, of this specification.This standard
does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this
standard to establish appropriate safety and healthsafety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of
regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization
established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued
by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

3. Terminology
3.1 General—General—DefinitionsDefinitions are in accordance with Terminology F412, and abbreviations are in accordance
with Terminology D1600, unless otherwise indicated. The abbreviation for poly(vinyl chloride) plastic is PVC.
4. Classification
4.1 General—This specification covers threaded Schedule 80 PVC pipe fittings, made from fourtwo PVC plastic compounds and
intended for use with threaded Iron Pipe Size (IPS) outside-diameter plastic pipe.
4.1.1 Fittings covered by this specification are normally molded. In-line fittings, such as couplings, unions, bushings, caps, nipples,
etc., shall be molded or machined from extruded stock.
4.1.2 Fittings fabricated by back welding or butt fusion are not included in this specification.
5. Materials and Manufacture
5.1 This specification covers PVC pipe fittings made from two PVC plastics as classified in Specification D1784. These are cell
classifications 12454 and 14333.
NOTE 3—Mechanical strength, heat deflection temperature, and flammability requirements are covered in Specification D1784.
5.2 Rework Material—The manufacturers shall use only their own clean rework fitting material and the fittings produced shall
meet all the requirements of this specification.
6. Requirements
6.1 Dimensions and Tolerances:
6.1.1 The dimensions and tolerances of the fittings shall be as shown in Table 1 and Table 2 when measured in accordance with
Test Method D2122. Minimum dimensions have zero negative tolerances. Bushings shall have thread lengths applicable to the
corresponding sizes. Counterbore is optional, is not shown in Table 1, and is not included in the center-to-end or end-to-end
dimensions.
6.1.2 Fittings Not Illustrated—All fittings, whether illustrated in Table 1 and Table 2 or not, shall have wall thicknesses and thread
dimensions conforming to 6.1 and 6.2.
