——————————————————————————————————————————– CSA B181.0:21 – Definitions, general requirements, and methods of testing for thermoplastic nonpressure piping

Scope

1.1 Scope of the B1800 compendium 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. Note: This Standard does not specify requirements for venting of combustion gases. In Canada, ULC S636 specifies testing and marking requirements for pipe, fittings, and accessories intended for venting of combustion gases. In the United States, UL 1738 specifies testing and marking requirements for pipe, fittings, and accessories intended for venting of combustion gases.

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

1.3 Intent of this Standard 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 Terminology In this Standard, 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 (non-mandatory) to define their application.

Scope

1.1 General 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. Use of these recommended practices can 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). 3) This Standard does not specify requirements for venting of combusti
