[Current]PVC-U pipes and fittings for drain, waste and vent applications
Specifies requirements for PVC-U pipes and fittings for sewer, drain, waste and vent applications above ground or below ground and is intended to be used where the pipeline is operating under gravity flow and the operating pressure is low. Includes requirements for both plain and structured wall pipes and fittings.
