PVC PIPING SYSTEMS FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS Plastic Pipe and Fittings Association © 2012 Plastic Pipe and Fittings Association (PPFA) ii Acknowledgments We would like to thank the following contributors to the Design Guide: The PVC and Thermoplastic Industrial Piping Systems (TIPS) Product Line Committees and member companies of the Plastic Pipe and Fittings Association (PPFA). In particular the following PPFA companies and individuals ably assisted in reviewing the text and tables and provided valuable comments which added greatly in producing a better and more accurate source document: Chuck Bush – Oatey Company Mike Cudahy – PPFA Staff Patrick Fedor – IPEX Bill Morris – Charlotte Pipe & Foundry Jack Roach – Mueller Industries Bill Weaver – Harvel Plastics Larry Workman – LASCO Fittings All text, tables and photos were prepared and or edited by David A. Chasis of Chasis Consulting, Inc. Using the Design Guide The Design Guide was created to assist engineers, installers, end-users, engineering students and building code officials in learning more of the dos and don’ts of PVC piping systems. The Design Guide is comprised of ten sections including:  Introduction  Features and Benefits  Engineering Design  Joining Methods  Installation  Testing and Repair  Applications  Building Codes, Standards, and Sample Specifications  PVC Piping and the Environment  Other Plastic Piping Systems In addition, in the back of the guide is the most complete appendix and glossary of PVC piping systems ever assembled. Other PPFA Educational Materials The PPFA offers a wide range of other educational materials developed to assist the engineering and construction industry to become more proficient in the use of the preferred piping system...plastics! On-site seminars, Webinars, CD-based seminars, workbooks, online tutorials and product and technical literature are available. For more information on these educational tools, visit PPFA’s website at www.ppfahome.org. Disclaimer The material in the Design Guide has been prepared for the general information of the reader/user. The information is believed to be technically correct; however, the authors, PPFA and their directors, officers, staff, and agents do not warrant the Design Guide or any of its contents suitable for any specific applications. The presented material is published as an information guideline only. It shall be the responsibility of the reader/user to incorporate prudent and generally accepted engineering practices and to meet the requirements of all involved regulatory agencies and their codes and standards. © PPFA, 2008/2009 All Rights Reserved © 2012 Plastic Pipe and Fittings Association (PPFA) Table of Contents – iii Table of Contents Page Page Introduction
