unless otherwise specified herein, shall be referred. In all cases, the latest revision of the
standards/codes shall be referred to. Other IS: Codes not specifically mentioned here but
pertaining to the use of Un-plasticized PVC pipes shall be part of this Specification.
Table No.5.1
I.S. Number Title
IS 4985: 2000 Specification for un-plasticized PVC pipes for potable water
supply.
IS 7634(PT-3): 2003 Code of practice for plastics pipes selection, Handling, Storage

IS 14182:1994 Solvent cement for use with un-plasticized polyvinyl Chloride

Plastic pipes and fittings.
The chief advantage of PVC pipes are Resistance to corrosion, Light weight, Toughness,
Rigidity, Economical in laying, jointing and maintenance, Ease of fabrication. Because of their
lightweight, PVC pipe are easy to handle, transport, and install.
GWSSB 114
Solvent cementing technique for jointing PVC pipe lengths is cheaper, more efficient and far
simpler. PVC pipes do not become pitted or tuberculated and are unaffected by fungi and
bacteria and are resistant to a wide range of chemicals. They are immune to galvanic and
electrolytic attack, a problem frequently encountered in metal pipes, especially when buried in
corrosive soils or near brackish waters.
PVC pipes have elastic properties and their resistance to deformation resulting from earth
movements is superior compared to conventional pipe materials specially AC. Thermal
conductivity of PVC is very low compared to metals. Consequently water transported in these
pipes remains at a more uniform temperature. These pipes generally come in 6m length.
Rigid PVC pipes weigh only 1/5th of conventional steel pipes of comparable sizes. PVC pipes
are available in sizes of outer dia, 20, 25, 32, 50, 63, 75, 90, 110, 140, 160, 250, 290 and
315mm at working pressures of 2,5,4,6, 10 kg/cm² as per IS 4985-1988.
1.2 Classification of pipes
The pipes shall be classified by pressure ratings (working pressures) at 27 C as follows:
Class of Working pressure (PN)

pipes
Class 1 0.25 MPa (2.5 kg/cm2)
1.3 DIMENSIONS OF PVC PIPES
The mean outside diameter, outside diameter at any point and their
tolerances shall be as given in table 5.2.
Mean outside diameters
GWSSB 115
The permissible variation (dem _dn) between the mean outside diameter
(dem) and the nominal outside diameter (dn) of a pipe shall be positive in
the form +x, where x is less than or equal to the greater of the following two
values:
a) 0.3 mm, and
b) 0.003 dn rounded off to the next higher 0.1 mm.
. Wall thickness
The wall thickness of plain pipe and the plain portion of socket ended pipe
shall be as given in table. 5.2
Tolerance on wall thickness.
For pipes of minimum wall thickness 6 mm or less, the permissible variation

between the minimum wall thickness (emin) and the wall thickness at any
point (e), (e-emin) shall be positive in the form of +y, where y= 0.1 emin +
0.2 mm
For pipes of minimum wall thickness greater than 6 mm, the permissible
variation of wall thickness shall again be positive in the form of +y, where y
would be applied in two parts.
The average wall thickness shall be determined by taking at least six

measurements of wall thickness round the pipe and including both the
absolute maximum and the absolute minimum values. The tolerance
applied to this average wall thickness from these measurements shall be
within the range 0.1 emin + 0.2 mm (see table 5.2) .
The maximum wall thickness at any point shall be within the range 0.15
emin. (see table 5.2)
The results of these calculation for checking tolerance shall be rounded off
to the next higher 0.1 mm

Table No. 5.2 (Refer Table No. 1 IS 4985-2000)
Length of pipe
The effective length of pipes shall be 4, 5, or 6 meters. For plain ended pipes the overall
length shall be measured from end to end. For socketed pipe for solvent cement jointing
the effective length of pipe shall be determined by subtracting from the overall length, the
socket length.
Dimensions of sockets pipes:-
The sockets formed at the ends of the pipes shall be parallel to the axis of the pipe. The
minimum length of any socket shall be = 0.5 x nominal outside diameter of the pipe +6
mm..
Sockets for solvent cement jointing these shall conform to dimensions given in Table 5.3.
The minimum length of any socket shall be Ls = 0.5xdn+6mm
GWSSB 117
1.4 Physical and chemical characteristics
Visual appearance
The internal and external surface of the pipe shall be smooth, clean and free from
grooving and other defects. Slight shallow longitudinal grooves or irregularities in the
pipe shall be permissible provided the wall thickness remains within the permissible
limits.
Opacity:-
The wall of the plain pipe shall not transmit more than 0.2 percent of the visible light
falling on it when tested in accordance with IS: 12235 (Part-3)
Effect on water:-
The pipe shall not have any detrimental effect on the composition of water flowing
through them.
1.5 Marking
Each pipe shall be clearly and indelibly marked in ink/paint or hot embossed on white
base at intervals of not more than 3 meters, in colour. The marking shall show the
following
a) Manufacturer’s name and trade-mark
b) Outside diameter,
c) Class of pipe and pressure rating,
d) Batch or lot number, and
e) The word plumbing in the case of plumbing pipes.
The information according to 5.9.1 shall be marked in colours as mentioned below:-
Class Colour
Class 3 Green
Class 4 brown
Class 5 Yellow
In case of hot embossing, pipe shall also be provided near the end with circumferential
colour band as mentioned above in clause 5.9.1, to identify the class of pipe
GWSSB 118
1.6 Handling and storage
Because of their lightweight, there may be a tendency for the PVC pipes to be
thrown much more than their metal counterparts. This should be discouraged and
reasonable care should be taken in handling and storage to prevent damage to the
pipes.
On no account should pipes be dragged along the ground. Pipes should be given
adequate support at all times.
These pipes should not be stacked in large piles, specially under warm temperature
conditions, as the bottom pipes may be distorted thus giving rise to difficulty in pipe
alignment and jointing. For temporary storage in the field, where racks are not provided,
care should be taken that the ground is level, and free from loose stones. Pipes stored
thus should not exceed three layers and should be so stacked as to prevent movement.
It is also not recommended to store one pipe inside another. It is advisable to follow the
practices mentioned as per IS: 7634 Part-I.
1.7 Testing of Pipes :-
Reversion Test
When tested by the immersion method prescribed in IS 12235 (Part 5), a length of
pipe 200 + 20 mm long shall not alter in length by more than 5 percent. In the case of
socket end pipes, this test shall be carried out on the plain portion of the pipe taken at
least 100 mm away from the root of the socket.
Vicat Softening Temperature
When tested by the method prescribed in IS 6307, the vicat softening temperature of the
specimen shall not be less than 800C.
Sulphated Ash Content Test
When tested the sulphated ash content in the pipe shall not exceed 11 percent.

clause No. 10.1.
Solvent cement jointing
PVC solvent cement is quick drying; therefore it shall be applied as quickly and
carefully as possibly and in consistence with good workmanship. For larger sizes, it is
advisable for two workers to work simultaneously on the pipe and socket.
Solvent cement shall conform to IS: 14182.
Dip the applicator brush in the solvent cement and apply a liberal coat of cement to the
end of the pipe up to the insertion depth
Apply a uniform thin coat of cement inside the socket, working axially from the inside of
the socket to the outside. Do not apply any cement on the shoulders of the socket
(socket-to-pipe transition area). Care should be taken not to apply excess cement
inside the socket. Excess cement in the socket will be pushed further into the pipe
during assembly and cause the pipe to soften and weaken at that point. Hot and dry
GWSSB 122
climates generally require slightly thicker coatings of solvent cement.
In climates with large differences between day and night temperatures, it is advisable
to make joints early in the morning or in the evening when it is cooler. Thus, the joints
are prevented from being pulled apart if the pipes contract.
For pipe installation solvent glued spigot is inserted in the socket up to the shoulder
and then after a quarter (90º) turn is given to evenly distribute the cement over the
treated surface.
Within 20 second after the last application of solvent cement, insert the pipe in to
socket in a single steady and every controlled but forceful action. Press it in fully until it
bottoms. No. hammer blows should be used. If there is any sign of drying of the
cement coat before insertion; the surface should be re-coated, avoiding application of
excess cement in the socket. Once the insertion is complete, hold in place for 1 min
without shifting the pipe in the socket.
Immediately after assembly, wipe the excess solvent cement from the pipe at the end
of the socket. A properly made joint will have a uniform bead around its entire
perimeter. Any gaps in this bead may be indicative of an improper joint due to
insufficient cement or the use of a lighter-bodied cement than the one recommended.
Trench:-
Location: Drinking water pipelines should not be located below sewerage pipelines.
Where a pipeline runs parallel to other pipelines or cables, the distance between them
should not be less than 0.4 m.
At points of congestion, a distance of 0.2 m should be maintained unless steps are

taken to prevent direct contact.
Width: Trenches should be of adequate width to allow the burial of pipe, while being as
narrow as practical. If expansion and contraction are not problems and snaking of pipe
is not required, minimum trench widths may be obtained by jointing the pipe outside
the trench and then lowering the piping into the trench after the testing. A trench width
of two or three times the pipe diameter is a good rule of thumb. Narrow (unsupported)
trench width and supported trench width shall be as given under:
GWSSB 123
Where necessary to prevent cave-ins, trench excavations in unstable soil shall be adequately
supported. As backfill is placed and sheeting withdrawn, the void left by the withdrawn
sheeting shall be filled and compacted before withdrawing the next increment.
Trench Bottom
The trench bottom shall be constructed to provide a firm, stable and uniform support
for the full length of the pipeline. There should be no sharp objects that may cause
point loading.
Any large rocks, hard pan, or stones larger than 20 mm should be removed to permit a
minimum bedding thickness of 100-150 mm under the pipe.
For pipes of diameters 100 mm or greater, bell holes in the bedding, under each socket
joint, shall be provided by removing some of the bedding material, to accommodate the
larger diameter of the joint and to permit the joint to be made properly.

GWSSB 124
Excavated material should be deposited at a sufficient distance from the trench

so that damage is not caused to the pipe line through falling stones/debris.
Prepare the bedding by laying on soft soil and alternatively compacting and
watering sparingly until an effective thickness of 100 to 150 mm is achieved.
Laying
Lay the pipe in the trench after ensuring that bell holes have been provided for
at the appropriate places in the bedding (Pipes of diameter 110 mm or less,
with no live load application, do not require bell holes in the trench bottom).
These have to be refilled carefully after testing of the pipeline and prior to
complete backfilling of the trench.
Though not essential, the pipes should be laid with the spigots entered into the
sockets in the same directions as the intended flow of water.
Minimum cover:
A minimum cover of 0.9 m when truck traffic is expected.
A minimum cover of 1.8 m when heavy truck or locomotive traffic (dynamic loads) is
expected. Usually pipe below 2.0 m of cover are not affected significantly by dynamic
loads. If the application prevents deep burial of the pipe and heavy traffic passing over
the pipe is expected, it would be advisable to use steel or reinforced concrete casing
to prevent damage to the pipe.
Anchoring
The purpose of the anchor block is to transfer the total thrust to the trench sides. It is
therefore important to take account of the load-bearing capacity of the surrounding
ground.
Recommended mixture for concrete is one part cement, two parts washed sand and
two parts gravel.
Where concrete would be in direct contact with the pipe or fittings, these should be
wrapped with a compressible material, for example rubber sheet or foamed
polyethylene sheet, to accommodate creep and prevent the occurrence of high local
stress concentrations.
Back-filling
The first side fill or hunching layer should be placed by hand and compacted in layers
under the lower quadrants of the pipe up to the spring level (half the vertical diameter)
of the pipe.
Compaction can be done by careful trampling with the feet or with trampling tool.
Care should be taken to leave adequate area around the joint free of backfill to allow for
inspection during testing of the pipeline.
GWSSB 125
Successive layers of backfill of 75 mm thickness may then be placed over and

compacted to a height above the crown of not less than 150 mm. Light vibrating
machinery may be used, but not directly above the pipe.
On completion of the surround to the pipe, suitable excavated material may be then
replaced as backfill in 250 mm compacted layers up to the top of the trench.
No heavy compaction equipment to be employed until there is at least 300mm of fill

above the crown of the pipe.
Measurement
The net length of pipes as laid or installed shall be measured in running meters correct
to a cm. Specials shall be excluded and enumerated and paid separately under the
relevant item. The portion of pipe at the joints (inside the joint) shall not be included in
the length of the pipe work. Excavation, refilling, masonry and concrete work (as
required) shall be measured and paid for separately under relevant item of work.
