PLASTICS PIPEWORK (THERMOPLASTICS MATERIAL). PART 2. UNPLASTICIZED PVC PIPEWORK FOR THE CONVEYANCE OF LIQUIDS UNDER PRESSURE

Part 2 of the code of practice gives guidance on the proper application and installation of upvc (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) pipe for the conveyance of liquids under pressure. The code does not cover reinforced pipe or UPVC used as a lining material bonded to polyester glass. The code deals with the following: working pressure and effects of temperature; flow properties; jointing procedures; solvent cement joints; pushfit(insertion) joints; mechanical joints, service connections; bending, including both hot and cold bending; storage, handling and transport; inspection and installation of buried pipes and above-ground pipes; support spacings; hydrostatic test pressures and hydrostatic testing, and repairs. /TRRL/
