Abstract

Specifies the general aspects of unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) piping systems in the field of water supply. Applicable to PVC-U pipes, fittings, valves and ancillary equipment, their joints and to joints with components of other plastics and non-plastics materials intended to be used for: water mains and services buried in ground; conveyance of water above ground for both outside and inside buildings; supply of water under pressure at approximately 20°C (cold water) intended for human consumption and for general purposes. Also applicable to components for the conveyance of water up to and including 45°C.

Document History

Collectively parts 1 to 5 of BS EN 1452 supersede BS 3505:1986, BS 4346-1:1969 and BS 4346-2:1990. Since those British Standards are the basis of piping systems with a design life of at least 50 years, it is intended that they will be declared obsolescent by 26/6/2001. These parts also partially supersede BS 4346-3:1982. AMD 11007 is Corrigendum No.1. AMD 12004 is Corrigendum No.2.
