Preface

This is the third edition in the form of a compendium of the CSA B181 and CSA B182 series of Standards, published as CSA B1800, Thermoplastic nonpressure piping compendium. It supersedes the previous editions of the compendium published in 2002 and 1999 under the title Plastic nonpressure pipe compendium.

----------------------------------------------------------------

B181.0-06
Definitions, general requirements, and methods of testing for thermoplastic nonpressure piping

1 Scope

1.1
This Standard covers thermoplastic nonpressure piping, including
(a) drain, waste, and vent pipe and pipe fittings;
(b) sewer and storm pipe and pipe fittings; and
(c) accessories such as factory-assembled expansion joints, closet flanges, backwater valves, and cleanouts.

1.2
This Standard specifies general requirements for compounds and for manufactured pipe and pipe fittings, the relevant test methods, and marking requirements.

1.3
This Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with one of the other Standards in the CSA B181 or CSA B182 series to form a complete Standard for a particular product.

1.4
In CSA Standards, "shall" is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Standard; "should" is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; "may" is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard; and "can" is used to express possibility or capability. Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.

B181.1-06
Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) drain, waste, and vent pipe and pipe fittings

1 Scope
This Standard specifies requirements for acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) drain, waste, and vent (DWV) pipe, pipe fittings, and accessories such as factory-assembled expansion joints, closet flanges, and backwater valves.
Notes:
(1) Recommended installation practices for ABS-DWV pipe are specified in Annex A. Following those practices will help ensure proper installation and optimum service life. (2) The maximum pressure used to test DWV installations should be 100 kPa (see Clause A.5.2).

----------------------------------------------------------------

B181.2-06
Polyvinylchloride (PVC) and chlorinated polyvinylchloride (CPVC) drain, waste, and vent pipe and pipe fittings

1 Scope
This Standard specifies requirements for polyvinylchloride (PVC) and chlorinated polyvinylchloride (CPVC) drain, waste, and vent (DWV) pipe, pipe fittings, and accessories such as factory-assembled expansion joints, closet flanges, backwater valves, and fire-stop fittings*.
*The fire stop is for use in fire separations only. It can be subject to code requirements not covered in this Standard. See the definition of "fire-stop fitting" in Clause 3.1 of CSA B181.0.
Notes:
(1) Recommended installation practices for PVC-DWV pipe are given in Annex A. Use of these recommended practices will help to ensure proper installation and optimum service life.
(2) The maximum pressure used to test DWV installations should be 100 kPa (see Clause A.5.2).

----------------------------------------------------------------

B181.3-06
Polyolefin and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) laboratory drainage systems

1 Scope

1.1
This Standard specifies requirements for compounds, pipe, and fittings used in polyolefin and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) laboratory drainage systems for corrosive applications.
Notes:
(1) Polyolefin includes both polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) plastics.
(2) PVDF includes emulsion or suspension polymerization of vinylidene fluoride, and copolymers of vinylidene and hexaflouropropylene produced by emulsion or suspension.
(3) Other thermoplastics may be certified to this Standard provided that they comply with the requirements specified in this Standard.

1.2
Pipe and fittings covered in this Standard are intended to be joined by heat fusion using joining equipment supplied by the manufacturer.

1.3
This Standard is not intended to provide for interchangeability between plastic pipe and fittings from different manufacturers, but it does allow for transition fittings used to join one manufacturer's product to another's, provided that the joining technique is other than heat fusion. For guidance on fusion joints and aboveground and underground installations, refer to Annex A.

1.4
Polyolefin laboratory drainage systems having characteristics differing from or additional to those covered by this Standard should be investigated to determine whether they comply with the intent of this Standard.

----------------------------------------------------------------

B181.5-06
Coextruded acrylonitrile-butadienestyrene/polyvinylchloride (ABS/PVC) drain, waste, and vent pipe

1 Scope

1.1
This Standard specifies requirements for coextruded thermoplastic drain, waste, and vent (DWV) pipe with an outer layer of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and an inner layer of polyvinylchloride (PVC) or with outer and inner layers of ABS and a core of PVC.

1.2
Pipe manufactured in accordance with this Standard is intended to be used with fittings, accessories, and solvent cement that comply with the requirements of CSA B181.1.
Note: Recommended storage, handling, and installation practices for coextruded ABS/PVC-DWV pipe are provided in Annex A of CSA B181.1. Use of these recommended practices will help to ensure proper installation and optimum service life.

----------------------------------------------------------------

B182.1-06
Plastic drain and sewer pipe and pipe fittings

1 Scope
This Standard specifies requirements for
(a) plastic drain and sewer pipe and plastic pipe fittings with pipe stiffness of 275, 320, or 625 kPa, including both single-wall, coextruded, and coextruded dual-wall pipe with a smooth interior;
(b) single-wall, non-corrugated, perforated plastic pipe and plastic pipe fittings with a pipe stiffness of 200 kPa;
(c) coextruded dual-wall perforated plastic pipe with a smooth interior, corrugated exterior, and a pipe stiffness of 200 kPa; and
(d) solvent cement.
Notes:
(1) Industrial waste disposal lines should be installed only with the specific approval of the regulatory authority because chemicals not commonly found in drains and sewers, and temperatures greater than 60 °C, can be encountered.
(2) Guidance on the relationship between pipe stiffness and end use of pipe is given in Annex A.
