Full title and description
Standard Specification for Polyolefin Pipe and Fittings for Corrosive Waste Drainage Systems — specification establishing requirements for non‑pressure polyolefin (polyethylene and polypropylene) pipe and fittings intended for corrosive waste drainage applications, including dimensional tolerances, chemical resistance, mechanical properties and joint testing requirements.
Abstract
This specification covers non‑pressure polyolefin pipe and fittings produced in Schedule 40 and 80 IPS sizes and DR IPS sizes for PE and PP. It defines required outside diameter and wall thickness tolerances, minimum average waterway diameters for fittings, chemical‑resistance test requirements (including acids, solvents and bases), water absorption, flattening and impact resistance requirements, system integrity testing and hydrostatic pressure tests on heat‑fused and mechanical joints. The standard also references heat‑fusion and mechanical joint practices for installation and testing.

Scope
The standard applies to non‑pressure polyolefin pipe and fittings for corrosive waste drainage systems. It covers Schedule 40 and 80 IPS sizes and DR IPS sizes for polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), and describes allowable materials, dimensional tolerances, required tests for chemical resistance (examples: acetic acid, acetone, methyl alcohol, ammonium hydroxide, nitric acid, sodium hydroxide), water absorption, flattening, impact resistance, system integrity and hydrostatic pressure testing of joints. It also specifies acceptable joining methods (heat fusion per referenced practices and manufacturer‑recommended mechanical joints) and notes that interchangeability between manufacturers is not addressed.
Key topics and requirements
- Materials: two polyolefins — polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) with appropriate stabilizers/antioxidants; pigments/fillers allowed if not detrimental.
- Sizes and dimensions: Schedule 40 and 80 IPS and DR IPS sizes with specified outside diameter and wall thickness tolerances.
- C hemical resistance testing: required exposure/resistance checks for specified reagents (acetic acid, acetone, methanol, ammonium hydroxide, nitric acid, sodium hydroxide).
- Mechanical and physical tests: water absorption, flattening, impact resistance and average waterway diameter requirements for fittings.
- Joint integrity: hydrostatic pressure tests on heat‑fused and mechanical joints; heat fusion practices referenced (D2657, F2620, F1290) and mechanical joint guidance.
- Installation/joining guidance: references to established fusion and joining practices and related ASTM test methods and practices.
Typical use and users
Used by pipe and fitting manufacturers, plumbing and mechanical engineers, installers and contractors specifying materials for corrosive waste drainage (laboratory waste, chemical process drains, specialty commercial/industrial buildings), code reviewers, product certifiers and testing laboratories. It is also referenced by evaluation services and authorities having jurisdiction when assessing polyolefin drainage products.
