B181.0-15 – Definitions, general requirements, and methods of testing for thermoplastic nonpressure piping

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; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard.

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 (nonmandatory) to define their application.

B181.1-15 – Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) drain, waste, and vent pipe and pipe fittings

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 these 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).

B181.2-15 – Polyvinylchloride (PVC) and chlorinated polyvinylchloride (CPVC) drain, waste, and vent pipe and pipe fittings

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 specified in Annex A. Following these 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).
