ASTM F1336-20 PDF

Full title and description

ASTM F1336-20 — Standard Specification for Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) Gasketed Sewer Fittings. This specification establishes material, dimensional, mechanical, and test method requirements for fabricated or molded PVC gasketed sewer fittings intended for non‑pressure drainage of sewage and surface water. The document was originally published November 1, 2020 and has a later reapproval/administrative update recorded in 2025.

Abstract

This standard defines the requirements for PVC gasketed sewer fittings manufactured from pipe, combined pipe/injection molded parts, or injection molded parts. It specifies acceptable materials and dimensional limits (outside diameter, wall thickness, socket and spigot lengths), performance and mechanical criteria, and referenced test methods and practices to confirm fitness for non‑pressure sewer and subsurface drainage applications. The standard also lists normative references for conditioning, gasket materials, and associated pipe specifications.

• Number of pages: Approximately 9 pages (typical published length for this designation).

Scope

The specification covers requirements and test methods for fabricated or molded PVC gasketed sewer fittings suitable for non‑pressure drainage (sewage and surface water) and subsurface drainage. It applies to fittings used with pipe manufactured to common sewer pipe specifications (for example D3034, F679, F891) and includes dimensional control (OD, wall thickness, socket/spigot lengths), material acceptance, and mechanical performance checks. The standard contains a test section and normative references for conditioning, gasket materials, and related evaluation methods.

Key topics and requirements

• Material specification for PVC used in gasketed sewer fittings (materials acceptable for non‑pressure sewage applications).
• Dimensional tolerances: outside diameter, wall thickness, socket length and spigot length requirements.
• Gasket and sealing requirements (and references to gasket/specification standards used for seals).
• Referenced test methods and conditioning practices (examples: conditioning of plastics, molded PVC test methods, solvent cement and primer references).
• Intended installation practice reference (fittings intended for installation with compatible sewer pipe practices and standards).

Typical use and users

Typical users include PVC fitting manufacturers, quality/control laboratories, municipal and utility engineers specifying sewer system components, civil and drainage contractors, product certifiers, and procurement/specification writers. The standard is used to ensure compatibility between gasketed fittings and sewer pipe systems, to support product acceptance testing, and to provide dimensional and material benchmarks for procurement and compliance.

Related standards

Commonly referenced and related ASTM standards include: D3034 (PVC sewer pipe), F679 (PVC large‑diameter gravity sewer pipe and fittings), F891 (coextruded PVC pipe), F913 (thermoplastic elastomeric seals/gaskets), D618 (conditioning plastics for testing), and F656 (primers for solvent cement joints). Users often consult these documents together when specifying or testing gasketed sewer fittings.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ASTM F1336‑20 is the ASTM specification that sets material, dimensional, mechanical, and test method requirements for poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) gasketed sewer fittings used in non‑pressure sewage and surface water drainage systems.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers acceptable PVC materials, dimensional tolerances (OD, wall thickness, socket/spigot lengths), gasket/seal considerations, and associated test methods and practices needed to demonstrate compliance for fabricated or molded gasketed sewer fittings. It also lists normative references to related ASTM practices and specifications.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers of PVC sewer fittings, municipal and utility engineers, civil contractors, laboratory and quality personnel performing compliance testing, and specification writers use it when designing, buying, or approving gasketed sewer fittings.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The designation F1336‑20 was approved November 1, 2020. ASTM records indicate a reapproval/administrative update in 2025 (listed as F1336‑20R25 or similar) and show the standard as active in ASTM’s store/catalogue. Some third‑party catalogues or historical archives may list older editions as withdrawn or “not valid” for specific historical editions; for authoritative status always consult ASTM’s document record.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the ASTM F17 committee portfolio (Plastic Piping Systems) and is commonly used alongside other pipe and fitting standards (for example D3034, F679, F891 and related gasket/seal and conditioning practices). It is not a numbered sequential "series" in the sense of multiple parts but is one specification among related plumbing/sewer piping standards.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: PVC, gasketed, sewer fittings, non‑pressure drainage, socket/spigot, gasket, ASTM F1336.
