Designation:D2846/D2846M14Standard Specification forChlorinated Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(CPVC)Plastic Hot-andCold-Water Distribution Systems1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2846/D2846M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers requirements,test methods,and methods of marking for chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride)plastic hot-and cold-water distribution system componentsmade in one standard dimension ratio and intended for waterservice up to and including 180F(82C).These componentscomprise pipe and tubing,socket-type fittings,street fittings,plastic-to-metal transition fittings,solvent cements,and adhe-sives.Requirements and methods of test are included formaterials,workmanship,dimensions and tolerances,hydro-static sustained pressure strength,and thermocycling resis-tance.The components covered by this specification areintended for use in residential and commercial,hot and cold,potable water distribution systems.1.2 The products covered by this specification are intendedfor use with the distribution of pressurized liquids only,whichare chemically compatible with the piping materials.Due toinherent hazards associated with testing components and sys-tems with compressed air or other compressed gases somemanufacturers do not allow pneumatic testing of their products.Consult with specific product/component manufacturers fortheir specific testing procedures prior to pneumatic testing.NOTE1Pressurized(compressed)air or other compressed gasescontain large amounts of stored energy which present serious safteyhazards should a system fail for any reason.1.3 The text of this specification references notes,footnotes,and appendixes which provide explanatory material.Thesenotes and footnotes(excluding those in tables and figures)shallnot be considered as requirements of the specification.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.NOTE2Suggested hydrostatic design stresses and hydrostatic pressureratings for pipe,tubing,and fittings are listed in Appendix X1.Design,assembly,and installation considerations are discussed in Appendix X2.An optional performance qualification and an in-plant quality controlprogram are recommended in Appendix X3.1.5 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to thetest method portion,Sections 9 and 10,of this specification:This standard does not purport to address all of the safetyconcerns,if any,associated with its use.It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety andhealth practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D1598 Test Method for Time-to-Failure of Plastic PipeUnder Constant Internal PressureD1599 Test Method for Resistance to Short-Time HydraulicPressure of Plastic Pipe,Tubing,and FittingsD1784 Specification for Rigid Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Compounds and Chlorinated Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(CPVC)CompoundsD2122 Test Method for Determining Dimensions of Ther-moplastic Pipe and FittingsD2444 Test Method for Determination of the Impact Resis-tance of Thermoplastic Pipe and Fittings by Means of aTup(Falling Weight)D2837 Test Method for Obtaining Hydrostatic Design Basisfor Thermoplastic Pipe Materials or Pressure Design Basisfor Thermoplastic Pipe ProductsF402 Practice for Safe Handling of Solvent Cements,Primers,and Cleaners Used for Joining ThermoplasticPipe and FittingsF412 Terminology Relating to Plastic Piping SystemsF493 Specification for Solvent Cements for ChlorinatedPoly(Vinyl Chloride)(CPVC)Plastic Pipe and FittingsF1498 Specification for Taper Pipe Threads 60 for Thermo-plastic Pipe and Fittings1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on PlasticPiping Systems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F17.61 on Water.Current edition approved Nov.1,2014.Published December 2014.Originallyapproved in 1969.Last previous edition approved in 2009 as D2846/D2846M 09b1.DOI:10.1520/D2846_D2846M-14.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United St
