MAJOR ADVANTAGES OF

ABS, PVC AND CPVC PIPE

Product Advantage

• While ABS, PVC and CPVC are very different materials, they share numerous advantages common to plastic piping systems. Advantages include ease of installation, corrosion resistance, low friction loss, initial cost, and longevity.

Easy Installation

• ABS, PVC and CPVC systems are light in weight (approximately one-half the weight of aluminum and one-sixth the weight of steel) reducing transportation, handling, and installation cost. They have smooth, seamless interior walls. No special tools are required for cutting. These materials can be installed using the solvent cementing joining technique.

Strength

• ABS, PVC and CPVC products are highly resilient, tough and durable with high tensile and high impact strength.

Freedom from Toxicity, Ordors, Tastes

• PVC and CPVC piping are non-toxic, odorless, and tasteless. They have been listed by the National Sanitation Foundation for use with potable water.

Corrosion Free External and Internal

• With many other pipe materials, slight corrosion may occur. The corroded particles can contaminate the piped fluid, complicating further processing, or causing bad taste, odors, or discoloration. This is particularly undesirable when the piped fluid is for domestic consumption. With PVC and CPVC, there are no corrosive by-products, therefore, no contamination of the piped fluid.

Immunity to Galvanic or Electrolytic Attack

• ABS, PVC and CPVC are inherently immune to galvanic or electrolytic action. They can be used underground, underwater, in the presence of metals, and can be connected to metals.

Fire Resistance

• PVC and CPVC piping systems are self extinguishing and will not support combustion. The ASTM E 84 test protocol is used to determine the flame and smoke rating for various materials.

• PVC will not pass the ASTM E-84 25/50 flame spread / smoke developed test and is not acceptable for use in plenum areas.

• Consult Charlotte Pipe for additional information on CPVC in plenum applications.

• For plenum applications, follow prevailing code requirements.

Low Friction Loss

• The smooth interior surfaces of ABS, PVC and CPVC assure low friction loss and high flow rate. Additionally, since ABS, PVC and CPVC pipe will not rust, pit, scale, or corrode, the high flow rate will be maintained for the life of the piping system.

Plastics Technical Manual

Low Thermal Conductivity

• PVC and CPVC pipe have a much lower thermal conductivity factor than metal pipe. Therefore, fluids being piped maintain a more constant temperature. In most cases, pipe insulation is not required.

Cost Effective

• ABS, PVC and CPVC products are extremely light weight, convenient to handle, relatively flexible, and easy to install. These features lead to lower installed cost than other piping systems.

Maintenance Free

• Once an ABS, PVC or CPVC system is properly selected, designed, and installed, it is virtually maintenance free. It will not rust, pit, scale, corrode, or promote build-up on the interior. Therefore, years of trouble-free service can be expected when using Charlotte Pipe and Foundry ABS, PVC and CPVC systems.

HANDLING AND STORAGE

OF ABS, PVC AND CPVC PIPE

Receiving Pipe:

As pipe is received, it must always be thoroughly inspected, prior to unloading. The person receiving the pipe must look for any transportation damage caused by over-tightened tie-down straps, improper treatment, or a shift in the load.

Pipe received in a closed trailer must be inspected as the trailer is opened. Take extra time to ensure that the pipe has not been damaged by other materials having been stacked on top of it, load shift, or rough handling.

Visually examine the pipe ends for any cracks, splits, gouges, or other forms of damage. Additionally, the pipe should be inspected for severe deformation which could later cause joining problems. The entire inside diameter of larger diameter pipe (4

"

and above) must be checked for any internal splits or cracks which could have been caused by loading or transit. The use of a flashlight may be necessary to perform this inspection.

Any damages must be observed by all parties involved, including the driver, and should be clearly noted on the bill of lading and/or delivery ticket. A copy of this document should be retained by the receiver. In addition, the manufacturer and carrier should be notified, within 24 hours, of any damages, shortages, or mis-shipped products.

Handling Pipe:

The pipe should be handled with reasonable care. Because thermoplastic pipe is much lighter in weight than metal pipe, there is sometimes a tendency to throw it around. This should be avoided.

The pipe should never be dragged or pushed from a truck bed. Removing and handling pallets of pipe should be done with a forklift. Loose pipe lengths require special handling to avoid damage. Precautions to follow when unloading and handling loose pieces include not banging lengths together or dropping lengths, even from low heights, on hard or uneven surfaces.

In all cases, severe contact with any sharp objects (rocks, angle irons, forks on forklifts, etc.) should be avoided. Also, the pipe should never be lifted or moved by inserting the forks of a forklift into the pipe ends.

Handling PVC and particularly CPVC pipe diameters greater than 4-inch requires extra care as the added pipe weight can cause cracking from relatively minor impacts. Also, plastic pipe becomes more brittle as the temperature decreases. The impact strength and flexibility of PVC and especially CPVC pipe are reduced. Therefore, take extra care when handling skids or loose lengths when the temperature drops below 50° F.

Storing Pipe:

If possible, pipe should be stored inside. When this is not possible, the pipe should be stored on level ground which is dry and free from sharp objects. If different schedules of pipe are stacked together, the pipe with the thickest walls should be on the bottom.

If the pipe is in pallets, the pallets should be stacked with the pallet boards touching, rather than pallet boards being placed on the pipe. This will prevent damage to or bowing of the pipe.

If the pipe is stored in racks, it should be continuously supported along its length. If this is not possible, the spacing of the supports should not exceed three feet (3').

The pipe should be protected from the sun and be in an area with proper ventilation. This will lessen the effects of ultraviolet rays and help prevent heat build-up.

PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE

RELATIONSHIP

Plastics Technical Manual

The operating pressure of PVC and CPVC pipe will be reduced as the operating temperature increases above 73° F. To calculate this reduction, multiply the operating pressures shown on the previous pages by the correction factors shown below:

Operating Correction Factors

Temperature (°F) PVC CPVC

73 1.00 1.00 80 .88 1.00

90 .75 .91 100 .62 .82 110 .50 .77 120 .40 .65 130 .30 .62 140 .22 .50 150 NR .47 160 NR .40 170 NR .32 180 NR .25 200 NR .20

For example, the operating pressure for 6" Schedule 80 CPVC pipe is 280 psi. If the operating temperature is 140° F, the maximum operating pressure is now 140 psi (280 x .50).

Note: Operating temperatures above 140° F for PVC and 180° F for SDR 11 FlowGuard Gold® and 200° F for CPVC schedule 80 piping products are not recommended.

Pressure ratings shown are for socket (solvent cement) systems. The system must always be de-rated to the pressure rating of the lowest rated system component at the expected maximum system operating temperature. For pressure ratings of flanges or unions, see the information on those components elsewhere in this technical manual. Pressure ratings of molded or cut threads are 50% of solvent cement systems. For pressure ratings of valves or other system components, always consult the technical recommendations from the manufacturers of those products.

Low Temperature Recommendation

Like most materials, PVC and CPVC become more brittle at low temperatures, particularly at temperatures below freezing (32°F). Charlotte Pipe and Foundry recommends taking proper precautions when installing systems at low temperatures includ- ing providing proper insulation. If a system is designed to operate at temperatures below freezing (32ºF), Charlotte Pipe recommends the following:

1. Reduce water hammer pressure surges to a minimum by:

a. Using only slow acting solenoid valves, if any;

b. Reducing pump start-up pressure surges with slow start-up motors and rubber expansion devices;

c. Not exceeding a maximum fluid velocity of 5-feet per second.

2. Provide more than minimum Charlotte Pipe recommended support spacing.

FLUID FLOW PROPERTIES

Gravity Flow

Fluid velocity, pipe size and hydraulic slope for gravity drainage can be determined using the Manning "N" value. This coefficient relates to the interior wall smoothness of pipe and is used for liquids with a steady flow, at a constant depth, in a prismatic open channel. The Manning's equation is

shown below:

Where:

V =Velocity of flow, ft./second N = Manning's value r =hydraulic radius, ft. obtained by dividing the

cross sectional area of flow by the wetted perimeter of the pipe in contact with the flow. R is a special case for v with pipes either 1/2 full or full: R= Inside diameter / 4, in feet

S =

Upstream elevation - Down stream elevation (ft./ft.) pipe length

Example 1: 2" diameter schedule 40 PVC, flowing full 30 foot pipe run, 7.5 inch drop S = 17.5"-10.0" / 12" = 0.0208 ft./ft.

It is widely recommended that the flow velocity in sanitary sewer systems to be equal to or greater than 2.0 feet per second for self cleaning drain lines.

Laboratory tests have shown that the “N” value for ABS and PVC pipe ranges from .008 to .012. The table below shows “N” values for other piping materials.

Water Hammer

FLUID FLOW PROPERTIES

Water hammer is a term used to describe the sudden increase in pressure created by quickly stopping, starting, or changing the direction of the flow of fluid in a piping system. Typical actions which cause water hammer are:

(1) Quickly closing a valve.

(2) Quickly opening a valve.

(3) Starting pumps with an empty discharge line.

(4) A high speed wall of liquid (such as starting a

pump) suddenly changes direction (such as going through a 90° elbow).

(5) Moving entrapped air through the system.

The pressure increase generated must be added to the fluid pressure already existing in the piping system to determine the total pressure the system must withstand. If water hammer is not accounted for, the sudden pressure surge could be enough to burst the pipe, or break the fittings or valves.

How To Use The Nomograph On The Following Page:

Taking the following measures will help prevent problems:

(1) Keep fluid velocities under 5 feet per second.

(2) Use actuated valves with controlled opening and

closing speeds.

(3) Instruct operators of manual valves on the

proper opening and closing speeds.

(4) When starting a pump, partially close the valve

in the discharge line to minimize the volume of liquid accelerating through the system. Fully open the valve after the line is completely filled.

(5) Use a check valve in the pipe line, near the pump,

to keep the line full.

(6) Use air relief valves to control the amount of

air that is admitted or exhausted throughout the piping system.

(7) Design the piping system so that the total

pressure (operating plus water hammer surge) does not exceed the pressure rating of the lowest rated component in the system.

1. Liquid Velocity (feet/second), pipeline length (feet), and valve closing time (seconds) must be known.

2. Place a straight edge on the liquid velocity in pipe (line A) and the pipeline length (line D).

3. Mark intersection of straight edge with pivot line (line C).

4. Place straight edge on mark just placed on pivot line (line C) and on valve closing time for valve being used (line A).

5. The intersection of the straight edge with the pressure increase line (line B) is the liquid momentum surge pressure (water hammer).

The liquid momentum surge pressure should be added to the operating line pressure to determine the system’s maximum line pressure. The maximum line pressure is used to select the proper pipe schedule or wall thickness.

The nomograph is based on the formula

P =

0.070VL

T

where P is increase in pressure due to momentum surge in psi, L is pipeline length in feet, V is liquid velocity in feet per second, and T is valve closing time in seconds.

Entrapped Air

FLUID FLOW PROPERTIES

Source

There are many potential sources for air in pipelines. Air may be introduced at the point where fluid enters the system or during initial filling of the system.

Problem

Air in a piping system tends to accumulate at high points in the system. As the flowrate increases, the entrapped air is forced along the pipeline by the moving water. These pockets of air cause flow restrictions reducing the efficiency and performance of the system. Water is about 5 times more dense than air at 100 psi, so when a pocket of air reaches an outlet, it escapes rapidly and water rushes to

WEATHERING

UV Exposure

PVC and CPVC pipe can suffer surface discoloration when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight. UV radiation affects PVC and CPVC when energy from the sun causes excitation of the molecular bonds in the plastic. The resulting reaction occurs only on the exposed surface of the pipe and to the extremely shallow depths of .001 to .003 inches. The effect does not continue when exposure to sunlight is terminated.

A two-year study was undertaken to quantify the effects of UV radiation on the properties of PVC pipe (See Uni-Bell's UNI-TR-5). The study found that exposure to UV radiation results in a change in the pipe's surface color and a reduction in impact strength. Other properties such as tensile strength (pressure rating) and modulus of elasticity (pipe stiffness) are not adversely affected.

replace the void. Such pressure surges can easily exceed the strength of a piping system and it’s components.

Solution

Designers should be concerned about entrapped air, but the issue of entrapped air is very complex. The behavior of air in a piping system is not easy to analyze, but the effects can be devastating. Obviously, the best way to reduce problems would be to prevent air from entering the system. Systems should be filled slowly and air vented from the high points before the system is pressurized. Additionally, air relief valves should be installed at high points in the system to vent air that accumulates during service.

The presence of an opaque shield between the sun and the pipe prevents UV degradation. UV radiation will not penetrate thin shields such as paint coatings or wrappings. Burial of PVC pipe provides complete protection against UV attack.

The most common method used to protect above ground PVC pipe from the sun is painting with a latex (water base) paint. Preparation of the surface to be painted is very important. The pipe should be cleaned to remove moisture, dirt, and oil and wiped with a clean, dry cloth. Petroleum-based paints should not be used, since the presence of petroleum will prevent proper bonding of paint to pipe.

SUPPORT SPACING FOR ABS

AND PVC PIPE

Support and Spacing

Adequate support for any piping system is a matter of great importance. In practice, support spacings are a function of pipe size, operating temperatures, the location of heavy valves or fittings, and the mechanical properties of the pipe material.

To ensure the satisfactory operation of a DWV or pressure piping system, the location and type of hangers should be carefully considered. The principles of design for steel piping systems are generally also applicable to DWV or pressure piping systems, but with some notable areas where special consideration should be exercised. Metal hangers are recommended. Hangers should not compress, distort, cut or abrade the piping.

All piping should be supported with an approved hanger at intervals sufficiently close to maintain correct pipe alignment and to prevent sagging or grade reversal. Pipe should also be supported at all branch ends and at all changes of direction. Support trap arms as close as possible to the trap. In keeping with good plumbing practices, support and brace all closet bends and fasten closet flanges.

(1) Concentrated loads should be supported directly so as to

eliminate high stress concentrations. Should this be impractical, then the pipe must be supported immediately adjacent to the load.

(2) In systems where large fluctuations in temperature occur,

allowances must be made for expansion and contraction of the piping system. Since changes in direction in the system are usually sufficient to allow for expansion and contraction, hangers must be placed so as not to restrict this movement.

(3) Since plastic pipe expand or contracts approximately five

times greater than steel, hangers should not restrict this movement. When using a clamp-type hanger, the hanger should not force the pipe and fittings into position.

(4) Hangers should provide as much bearing surface as

possible. To prevent damage to the pipe, file smooth any sharp edges or burrs on the hangers or supports.

(5) Plastic piping systems must not be placed alongside steam

or other high temperature pipe lines or other high temperature objects.

(6) Support spacing for horizontal piping systems is

determined by the maximum operating temperature the system will encounter. The piping should be supported on uniform centers with supports that do not restrict the axial movement.

(7) For vertical lines, it is recommended that an engineer

design the vertical supports according to the vertical load involved.

(8) Changes in direction should be supported as close as

practical to the fitting to avoid introducing excessive torsional stresses into the system. The following chart shows the recommended support spacing according to size, schedule, and operating temperatures. These spacings apply to continous spans of uninsulated lines, with no concentrated loads, conveying liquids with specific gravities of up to 1.00.

NOTE: The above information provides general guidelines. It should be used only as a reference and not as a guarantee of performance. Specific installation instructions and techniques may be required as a result of local plumbing and building codes, engineering specifications and instructions.

EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION

OF ABS, PVC, AND CPVC

ABS, PVC and CPVC pipe, like other piping materials, undergo length changes as a result of temperature variations above and below the installation temperature. They expand and contract 4.5 to 5 times more than steel or iron pipe. The extent of the expansion or contraction is dependent upon the piping material’s coefficient of linear expansion, the length of pipe between directional changes, and the temperature differential.

The coefficients of linear expansion (Y) for ABS, PVC, and CPVC (expressed in inches of expansion per 10°F temperature change per 100 feet of pipe) are as follows:

Material Y (in./10°F/100 ft)

ABS 0.66 PVC 0.36

CPVC 0.408

The amount of expansion or contraction can be calculated using the following formula:

e = Y (T

1-T2) x Lp h

10 100

e = Dimensional change due to thermal expansion

or contraction (in.)

Y = Expansion coefficient (See table above.)

(in./10°F/100 ft)

(T1-T2) = Temperature differential between the

installation temperature and the maximum or minimum system temperature, whichever provides the greatest differential (°F).

Lp = Length of pipe run between changes in

direction (ft)

Example: How much expansion (e) can be expected in a 60 foot straight run of 2" diameter PVC pipe installed at 70°F and operating at 120°F?

Solution: e = .360 (120 - 70) x 60 =.360 x 5 x .6 = 1.08 inches

10 100 There are several ways to compensate for expansion and

contraction. The most common methods are:

1. Expansion Loops (Fig. 1)

2. Offsets (Fig. 2)

3. Change in direction (Fig. 3)

4. Piston type expansion joints* (Fig. 4)

5. Bellows and/or rubber expansion joints*

6. Flexible Bends* *The manufacturers of these devices should be contacted to

determine the suitability of their products for the specific application.

When installing the expansion loop, no rigid or restraining supports should be placed within the leg lengths of the loop. The loop should be installed as closely as possible to the mid-point between anchors. Piping support guides should restrict lateral movement and direct axial movement into the loop. Lastly, the pipe and fittings should be solvent cemented together, rather than using threaded connections.

UNDERGROUND INSTALLATION

Plastics Technical Manual

Thermal Expansion in DWV Systems

Secure above-ground vertical DWV or storm-drainage piping at sufficiently close intervals to maintain proper alignment and to support the weight of the piping and its contents. Support stack at base, and if over two stories in height, support stack at base and at each floor with approved riser clamps. Stacks should be anchored so that movement is directed to the offset or expansion joint. For verticle stacks in multi-story applications, compensation for expansion, contraction or building settling is recommended. This can be accomplished by installing a horizontal offset (Fig. 2) or expansion joint (Fig. 4) at a minimum of every other floor. Expansion joints should be installed in the neutral position. Compensation for thermal movements is usually not required for a vent system.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

Installation Procedures for ABS, PVC and CPVC Piping Systems

With our reliable, easy-to-install ABS, PVC and CPVC TrueFit systems, Charlotte Pipe and Foundry is doing more than any other supplier to help contractors work more efficiently and productively.

The following information contains suggested installation and testing procedures and does not encompass all of the requirements for the design or installation of a piping system.

• Observe all safety precautions.

• Systems should be installed in a good and workmanlike manner consistent with normal industry standards and in conformance with all local plumbing, fire and building code requirements. Failure to follow proper installation practices, procedures, or techniques can result in system failure, property damage, or personal injury.

• Pipe and fitting systems should be used for their intended purpose as defined by local plumbing and building codes and the applicable ASTM standard.

• Follow manufacturers' instructions for all related products.

1. Cut Pipe

• Cut pipe square. As joints are sealed at the base of the fitting hub. An angled cut may result in joint failure.

• Acceptable tools include miter saw, mechanical cut off saw or wheel cutter. Wheel type cutters must employ a blade designed for plastics.

2. Remove Burr And Bevel

• Remove all pipe burr from inside and outside diameter of pipe with a knife-edge, file, or deburring tool.

3. Clean and Dry Pipe and Fittings

• Remove surface dirt, grease, or moisture with a clean dry cloth.

4. Dry Fit

•

With light pressure should go one half to one third of the way into the fitting hub. Pipe and fittings that are too tight or too loose should not be used.

5. Applicator

• Use an applicator that is one half the pipe diameter.

• Too large an applicator will force excessive cement into the inside of small diameter fittings. Too small an applicator will not apply sufficient cement to large diameter systems.

7. Join Pipe and Fittings

• Assemble pipe and fittings quickly while cement is fluid.

• Insert pipe into fitting hub until it contacts socket bottom. Give pipe a quarter turn. Hold pipe and fitting together until the pipe does not back out.

• See table for recommended cure times.

• Remove excessive cement from the exterior. A properly made joint will show a continuous bead of cement around the perimeter.

Threaded Joint

When combining plastic and metal threaded systems, it is recommended that plastic male threads be screwed into metal female threads rather than metal male threads into plastic female threads.

7

• Apply primer to PVC and CPVC pipe and fitting surfaces. Do not allow primer to puddle inside the system. Primer should conform to ASTM F 656.The use of primer for ABS is not recommended.

• Apply a full even layer of cement on the pipe O.D. for a distance slightly greater than the depth of the socket of the fitting.

• Coat the fitting socket with a medium layer of cement, avoiding puddling inside the system. Apply a second full even layer of cement on the pipe O.D. Solvent cement should meet ASTM D 2564 for PVC systems, ASTM F 493 for CPVC systems, and ASTM D 2235 for ABS systems.

Testing Pressure System

1. Prior to testing, safety precautions should be instituted to protect personnel and property in case of test failure.

2. Conduct pressure testing with water. DO NOT USE AIR OR OTHER GASES for pressure testing.

3. The piping system should be adequately anchored to limit movement. Water under pressure exerts thrust forces in piping systems. Thrust blocking should be provided at changes of direction, change in size and at dead ends.

4. The piping system should be slowly filled with water, taking care to prevent surge and air entrapment. The flow velocity should not exceed 5 feet per second (see charts on pages 37-41).

5. All trapped air must be slowly released. Vents must be provided at all high points of the piping system. All valves and air relief mechanisms should be opened so that the air can be vented while the system is being filled. Trapped air is extremely dangerous and it must be slowly and completely vented prior to testing.

6. Once an installation is completed and cured the system should be filled with water and pressure tested in accordance with local code requirements. However, care must be taken to ensure the pressure does not exceed the working pressure of the lowest component in the system (valves, unions, flanges, threaded parts, etc.)

7. The pressure test should not exceed one hour. Any leaking joints or pipe must be cut out and replaced and the line recharged and retested using the same procedure.

47

FLANGES AND UNIONS

PVC AND CPVC PIPE

For systems where dismantling is required, flanging is a convenient joining method. It is also an easy way to join plastic and metallic systems.

Installation

1. Join the flange to the pipe using the procedures shown in

the solvent cementing or threading sections.

2. Use a full faced elastomeric gasket which is resistant to

the chemicals being conveyed in the piping system. A

gasket 1/8" thick with a Durometer, scale “A”, hardness

of 55 -80 is normally satisfactory.

3. Align the flanges and gasket by inserting all of the bolts

through the mating flange bolt holes. Be sure to use

properly sized flat washers under all bolt heads and nuts.

4. Sequentially tighten the bolts corresponding to the

patterns shown below.

THREADED JOINTS AND THREADING OF

PVC AND CPVC PIPE

Charlotte Pipe generally recommends socket (solvent cement) jointing for thermoplastic piping systems. Threaded systems may be used for smaller-size, low-pressure plastic systems, if desired. Transitions to metal or other dissimilar materials may be completed using molded male or female threaded adapters or cut threads on Schedule 80 pipe or flanges.

Only Schedule 80 PVC or CPVC pipe can be threaded. Schedule 40 or SDR pipe cannot be threaded; molded threaded adapters must be used on those systems. The pressure rating of molded or cut threads must be derated by 50%.

See pressure/temperature derating information in this technical manual for systems exposed to operating conditions above 73°F.

Procedure for Cutting Threads in Schedule 80 Pipe:

1. Cutting

The pipe must be cut square using a power saw, a miter box, or a plastic pipe cutter. Burrs should be removed using a knife or deburring tool.

2. Threading

Threads can be cut using either hand held or power threading equipment. The cutting dies should be clean, sharp, and in good condition. Special dies for cutting plastic pipe are available and are recommended.

When using a hand threader, the dies should have a 5° to 10° negative front rake. When using a power threader, the dies should have a 5° negative front rake and the die heads should be self-opening. A slight chamfer to lead the dies will speed production. However, the dies should not be driven at high speeds or with heavy pressure.

When using a hand held threader, the pipe should be held in a pipe vise. To prevent crushing or scoring of the pipe, a protective wrap such as emery paper, canvas, rubber, or a light metal sleeve should be used.

Insert a tapered plug into the end of the pipe to be threaded. This plug will provide additional support and prevent distortion of the pipe in the threading area.

It is recommended that a cutting lubricant, such as a soap and water solution or a water soluble machine oil, be used during the threading operation. Also, clearing the cuttings from the die is highly recommended.

Do not over-thread the pipe. Consult the diagram and table showing ASTM F 1498 dimensions for American Standard Taper pipe threads. Periodically check the threads with a ring gauge to ensure that the threads are accurate. The tolerance is ± 11/2 turns.

Installation of Threaded Connections:

Make sure the threads are clean. Charlotte Pipe generally recommends Teflon* tape as a sealant for threaded connections. Use a good quality Teflon tape which has .4 minimum density, .003" thick, .50% elongation and chemically inert. Wrap the Teflon tape around the entire length of the threads; start with two wraps at the end and wrap all threads overlapping half the width of the tape. Wrap in the direction of the threads on each wind.

Charlotte does not recommend pipe joint compounds, pastes or lubricants for thermoplastic pipe as the use of an incompatible compound may result in the degradation or failure of the plastic pipe or fittings. If using one of these compounds as a thread sealant, always verify with the manufacturer of those compounds the suitability for use with ABS, PVC or CPVC. Charlotte Pipe cannot be responsible for any failures associated with the use of incompatible thread sealants or joint compounds.

Make threaded connections and hand tighten. Further tighten approximately one turn past hand tight using a strap wrench only. Do not use common wrenches or tools designed for metallic pipe systems. Avoid over-tightening as this will cause distortion or damage to threads or fittings.

THREADED JOINTS AND THREADING OF

PVC AND CPVC PIPE

Notes on Threaded Connections:

• Make threaded connections on FlowGuard Gold® CPVC systems using Charlotte® brass transition fittings. See the Charlotte FlowGuard Gold® Technical Manual for more information. These fittings are available in male, female and drop-ear ell configurations.

• When connecting to metallic piping components the preferred connection method is to use plastic male threads screwed into female metallic pipe threads. Metallic male pipe threads exert high stress levels on female plastic pipe threaded fittings and should be avoided wherever possible.

• Only join to threaded components conforming to ANSI/ ASME B 1.20.1 or ASTM F 1498.

• Brass threaded transition fittings are recommended for all hot water applications.

• Teflon tape is recommended for all threaded connections and should be a .4 minimum density, .003” thick, .50% elongation and chemically inert. To apply start with two wraps at fitting end, wrap all threads overlapping half the width of the tape in the direction of the threads on each wind.

Use of improper paste type pipe sealant may result in failure of pipe or fittings. Always verify with the manu-

Plastics Technical Manual

facturer of the pipe sealant to confirm chemical compatibility with CPVC and brass components. Never use joint compound containing ammonia or chlorine on brass threaded fittings.

Note:

• Never use pneumatic tools for tightening.

• Never apply more than light pressure on male brass or CPVC threaded fitting when clamping in a vise.

• Never clamp female brass transition fittings in a vise.

The following chart shows the correct amount of tape and torque required to make a properly functioning assembly.

JOINING ROLL-GROOVED PIPE

and ANTIFREEZE SOLUTIONS

Joining Roll-Grooved Pipe

Roll-grooved PVC pipe is designed for use with conventional gasketed mechanical couplings. It offers a method of joining which is quick and convenient, and it can be used in applications where frequent assembly and disassembly are desirable.

Installation

1. Consult with the manufacturer of the couplings for recommendations on the coupling style(s) designed for use with PVC pipe and the gasket material which is suitable for the intended service.

2. Check the pipe ends for any damage, roll marks, projections, or indentations on the outside surface between the groove and the end of the pipe. This is the sealing area, and it must be free of any defects.

3. Disassemble the coupling and remove the gasket. Inspect for any damage and make sure the gasket material is suitable for the intended service. Apply a thin coat of silicone lubricant to the gasket tips and the outside of the gasket.

4. Slide the gasket onto the end of one length of pipe so that it is flush with the end. Align and bring the end of another length of pipe together while sliding the gasket back over this junction. The gasket should be centered between the grooves and should not extend into the groove on either length of pipe.

5. Place the coupling housings over the gasket. The housing keys should engage into the grooves. Insert the bolts and apply the nuts. Tighten to “finger tight.”

6. Using a wrench, alternately tighten the nuts to the coupling manufacturer’s specifications. Over tightening is not necessary, and uneven tightening may cause gasket pinching.

Antifreeze Solutions - Pressure Testing CPVC and PVC Piping at Reduced Temperature

Glycerin antifreeze solutions are recommended for use with FlowGuard Gold® and Corzan® water distribution systems and for PVC pressure and DWV applications.

Glycerin antifreeze should be diluted to the appropriate concentration that provides adequate protection for the intended application. Maximum freeze protection for glycerinwater solutions is -51.7ºF (-46.5ºC) and occurs when the weight percent of glycerin is 66.7%. The effectiveness of a glycerin/water antifreeze solution diminishes above this concentration. Freeze points of glycerin-water solutions follow:

Freezing Points of Glycerin-Water Solutions (weight %)

Glycerin by weight (%) Freeze Point °F (°C)

0 32.0 (0.0) 10 29.1 (-1.6) 20 23.4 (-4.8) 30 14.9 (-9.5) 40 4.3 (-15.4) 50 -9.4 (-23.0) 60 -30.5 (-34.7)

66.7 -51.7 (-46.5)

Greater than 66.7 Not Recommended

Propylene glycol or ethylene glycol antifreeze solutions are suitable for use in pressure testing PVC pressure and DWV piping systems as follows:

• Solutions greater than 50% propylene glycol are incompatible with PVC and may cause damage to PVC piping systems.

• Ethylene glycol is compatible with PVC piping systems up to 100% concentrations.

• 25% Propylene glycol solutions are approved for use with potable water systems and provide freeze protection to about 15ºF(-10ºC), 50% solutions provide freeze protection to -30ºF (-34ºC ).

• Ethylene glycol solutions are toxic and must therefore

be avoided in potable water and food processing systems. 25% ethylene glycol solutions provide freeze protection to about 8ºF (-13ºC) and 50% solutions provide freeze protection to about - 33ºF (-36ºC).

TESTING AND INSPECTION

Plastics Technical Manual

Once the roughing-in is completed on a plastic drain, waste, and vent piping system, it is important to test and inspect all piping for leaks. Concealed work should remain uncovered until the required test is made and approved. When testing, the system should be properly restrained at all bends, changes of direction, and the end of runs.

There are various types of procedures used for testing installed plastic systems. CAUTION: In any test, proper

safety procedures and protective eyewear, clothing, and equipment should be used. Installers should

always consider local conditions, codes and regulations, manufacturer’s installation instructions, and architects’/engineers’ specifications in any installation.

Testing DWV System

Water Test

A water or hydrostatic test is the most technically superior test used to inspect a completed plastic piping system installation and is the testing procedure recommended by Charlotte Pipe. It is also the most recommended test in most plumbing code standards. The purpose of the test is to locate any leaks at the joints and correct them prior to putting the system into operation. Since it is important to be able to visually inspect the joints, a water test should be conducted prior to closing in the piping or backfilling of underground piping.

Once the stack is filled to “ten feet of head,” a visual inspection of the section being tested should be made to check for leaks. If a leak is found, the joint must be cut out and a new section installed. Fifteen minutes is a suitable time for the water test. Once the system has been successfully tested, it should be drained and the next section prepared for testing.

DO NOT USE CHARLOTTE PIPE

PRODUCTS FOR COMPRESSED AIR OR

GASES

Charlotte Pipe and Foundry Company products are not intended to be used for distribution or storage of compressed air or gases. Use of Charlotte Pipe products in inappropriate applications could result in product failure, serious injury or death.

Air or Gas Testing - Not Recommended

Air or compressed gas test are sometimes performed instead of hydrostatic (water) test. DANGER: Charlotte Pipe and Foundry Company does not recommend air or gas testing, consistent with PPFA User Bulletin 4-80 and / or ASTM D

1785. Pipe and fitting materials under air or gas pressure

can explode, causing serious injury or death. Charlotte

Pipe will not be responsible or liable for injury or death to persons or damage to property or for claims for labor and / or material arising from any alleged failure of our products during testing with air or compressed gasses.

To isolate each floor or section being tested, test plugs are inserted through test tees in the stack. All other openings should be plugged or capped with test plugs or test caps.

When testing Foam Core pipe, always use external caps to eliminate the possibility of leakage through the foam core part of the pipe. Fill the system to be

tested with water at the highest point. As water fills a vertical pipe it creates hydrostatic pressure. The pressure increases as the height of the water in the vertical pipe increases. Charlotte Pipe recommends testing at 10

feet of hydrostatic pressure (4.3 pounds per square inch.) Filling the system slowly should allow any air in the system to escape as the water rises in the vertical pipe. All entrapped air in the system should be expelled prior to the beginning of the test. Failure to remove entrapped air may give faulty test results.

HYDRONIC HEATING APPLICATIONS

Hydronic Heating Applications

The table below highlights key points to remember when installing FlowGuard Gold or Corzan CPVC in a hydronic radiant heating application. A hydronic radiant heating application is defined here as piping directly off a hot water heater or boiler into a coil heating unit in single- or multi-family homes.

“DOs” for all hydronic applications

• Install in accordance with both Charlotte Pipe and Foundry’s and solvent cement manufacturer’s recommendations and installation instructions.

• Follow recommended safe work practices.

• Verify that the maximum outlet temperature and pressure of the boiler is less than the temperature and pressure rating of the pipe (see charts below).

• Always use the proper derating factors with FlowGuard Gold and Corzan pipe to find the pressure rating at the applicable operating temperature.

• Always follow local codes and approvals when installing plumbing and heating equipment.

• Ensure that the system design allows for thermal expansion and contraction as recommended in the Charlotte Pipe and Foundry Plastics Technical Manual.

• Use only CPVC x brass transition fittings if using threaded connections.

• Use proper solvent cementing practices, including beveling and proper dauber sizing.

• Provide additional support to the brass side of a CPVC x brass transition or other metallic components to support the weight of the metal system.

• Use check valves, heat traps or back flow preventer to prevent cross-connections between hot and cold water lines.

• Flush the interior of heat exchangers or the exterior of condenser coils thoroughly with mild ionic detergent solution to remove incompatible oils prior to piping installation.

• Rinse with clean water to purge the system as a final flushing.

• Verify that all boiler cleaning and sealing chemicals used in the hydronic radiant heating system are compatible with CPVC.

“DON’Ts” for all hydronic applications

• Do not exceed the operating temperature or operating pressure of the piping system.

• Do not use 100% CPVC threaded adapters, male or female.

• Do not use the CPVC piping system to support any metallic components.

• Do not use compression fittings for hydronic radiant heating applications.

• Do not use solvent cement that exceeds its shelf life, has become discolored or has gelled.

• Do not use CPVC tees or other CPVC components as mixing devices.

• Do not over solvent-cement the joints. Puddling of solvent cement must be avoided.

• Do not rely on an expansion tank to handle thermal expansion of the piping system. Expansion tanks accommodate expansion of the fluid, not longitudinal expansion of the pipe. The piping system must be designed to allow for thermal expansion.

MATERIAL SELECTION, ENGINEERED APPLICATIONS

and UNSTABLE SOIL

Selection of Materials For Sanitary and Storm Drainage

Engineers and designers today have a number of materials from which to choose as they design sanitary and storm drainage systems for residential and commercial projects. Due to its exceptional strength and combination of being non-combustible and extremely quiet, cast iron soil pipe is a very popular choice for commercial construction. Upscale homes often feature cast iron stacks combined with plastic used for lavs, showers and tubs for a system Charlotte Pipe calls a “Quiet House®” design. PVC and ABS DWV systems are allowed under all of the major national plumbing codes unless restricted by local or state amendment and are very popular as well.

Charlotte Pipe manufacturers ABS cellular (foam) core pipe conforming to ASTM F 628 as well as PVC pipe in both solid wall and cellular core types. PVC solid wall meets the requirements of ASTM D 1785 and D 2665, and PVC cellular core pipe conforms to ASTM F 891. All of these plastic pipe systems are allowed for sanitary and storm drainage both above and below grade in the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), the International Plumbing Code (IPC), the National Standard Plumbing Code (NSPC) and most local or state variations thereof. None of these national model codes differentiate between residential or commercial uses of these plastic systems or otherwise restrict the use of any of these systems to any specific class of construction. All of the systems can be installed below grade, under slab and above grade in most areas except those classified as “return air plenums.”

Solid wall pipe is just as the name implies: solid PVC material throughout the entire pipe wall. Cellular core pipe is manufactured using a unique co-extrusion process that produces pipe with a thin solid inner layer and outer layer with a foam core between these walls. Foam core pipe has the exact same dimensions as solid wall, yet is lighter and less expensive. Noise transmission is a function of density so while cast iron is by far the quietest material, PVC solid wall would be somewhat less noisy than either PVC or ABS cellular core pipe. While both are suitable for burial at most depths and common soil types, solid wall pipe is somewhat more “robust” and has a higher pipe stiffness, particularly in sizes 6” and smaller. Both ASTM F 628 and F 891 have the following limitation; Appendix X3, Installation, paragraph X3.1: minimum aggregate size shall be limited to 1/2 in. (13 mm) for angular and 3/4 in. (19 mm) for rounded particles. This statement is significant as ASTM D 2321 allows aggregate and stone that pass through 1-1/2” sieve. PVC is classified as a flexible piping system, and as such it is dependant upon proper bedding and backfill for its ability to withstand Earth and live loads. Therefore, all plastic pipe must be installed below grade in accordance with ASTM D 2321. Cellular core pipe of any type is designed for drainage only, carries no pressure rating and Charlotte Pipe marks each piece with the print line

Plastics Technical Manual

”Not for Pressure.” PVC solid wall pipe is “dual marked” and meets the ASTM standards for both pressure and drainage pipe.

Many designers allow the use of cellular core pipe on residential or light commercial projects and require the use of solid wall PVC or cast iron on commercial projects such as institutions, schools, restaurants, hospitals etc. Charlotte Pipe recommends that cellular core PVC pipe be installed in commercial applications with caution. Underground installations should be in strict conformance to ASTM D 2321. Ultimately the engineer, designer, developer or owner must evaluate the requirements of each project and specify the products they feel best suit their design criteria.

Engineered Applications

Over the past years many new innovations have been introduced to the industry including siphonic roof drainage, sovent, air admittance devices and other products. Some of these products do not conform to existing standards or to the requirements of the model plumbing codes. Rather they and are designed into the system by engineers and approved as an alternate material within the code.

Charlotte Pipe and Foundry manufactures pipe and fitting systems that conform to published ASTM and Cast Iron Soil Pipe Institute standards. Products are warranted to conform to the requirements of applicable standards when used for the applications defined within these standards. Charlotte Pipe and Foundry will not accept liability for applications that do not conform to the standards to which we manufacture.

Unstable Soil

Burial of pipe under slab in soils that are unstable is often accomplished by suspending the piping systems from structural slabs. The use of plastic pipe in such installations must be in accordance with ASTM F 2536. Cellular core pipe is specifically not permitted for these applications.

Using Plastics for Combustion Gas Venting

Charlotte Pipe recommends that inquiries about the suitability of plastic piping systems for venting combustion gasses should be made to the manufacturer of the water or space heating equipment being installed. As stated in the International Code Council’s International Fuel Gas Code

503.4.1.1:

Plastic Pipe and fittings used to vent appliances shall be installed in accordance with the appliance manufacturer’s installation instructions.

Furthermore, several of the ASTM standards applicable to plastic pipe and fittings that Charlotte Pipe manufactures include the following note: This standard specification

does not include requirements for pipe and fittings intended to be used to vent combustion gases.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

The following table gives the chemical resistance of ABS, PVC and CPVC thermoplastic piping materials and three commonly used seal materials. The information shown is based upon laboratory tests conducted by the manufacturers of the materials, and it is intended to provide a general guideline on the resistance of these materials to various chemicals. It is not a guarantee, and

any piping systems using products made of these materials should be tested under actual service conditions to determine their suitability for a particular purpose. See website for most current data: www.charlottepipe.com
