PVC DWV Pipe & FittingsPiping System Applications10PVC Schedule 40 DWV Pipe & PVC DWV FittingsFor Non-Pressure Applications Note: Solid Wall and Cellular Core PipePVC DWV Fittings can be installed withcellular core pipe or “dual marked” solidwall pipe.ASTM F 891 cellular core pipe is lighter,cuts faster and costs less. Never use forpressure applications.Solid wall PVC pipe is often rated for bothpressure (ASTM D 1785) and non-pressure(ASTM D 2665) applications — oftenreferred to as “dual marked.” When solidwall or cellular core pipe is used with PVCDWV fittings, the resulting system is NOTpressure rated. Description R igid pipe and fittings. Pipe and fittings are white in color. Joined with solvent cement conformingto applicable ASTM standards. Fittings have a gradual sanitary turn. Application D rain household sanitary waste(kitchen, bathroom). Sanitary sewer. Drain ground water. NOT for pressure applications. NOT for compressed air or gasses.

CLEAN AND DRYPIPE AND FITTINGS5With light pressure, pipe should goone-half to one-third of the way intothe fitting hub. Do not use pipe andfittings that are too tight or too loose.Use an applicator that is one-halfthe size of the pipe’s diameter.COAT WITH PRIMER AND CEMENT6Remove surface dirt, grease ormoisture with a clean, dry cloth.DRY FITAPPLICATOROnly use primer on PVC. Primer is notrecommended on ABS. Apply a full, evencoat of cement on the outside diameterof the pipe and to the inside hub of thefitting, and again to the outside of the pipe.JOIN & CURE7While the cement is fluid, insert the pipeinto fitting hub, giving a quarter turnto ensure an even distribution of cementwithin the joint. Allow the joint to cure priorto hydrostatic testing. See the solventcement manufacturer’s recommendations.
