  2. PVCPressurePipeandFittings By selectingpipematerialsthatneithercorrodenorleak, citieshaveloweredtheircostsandimprovedservice reliability.Today,corrosion-free,leak-freePVCpressure pipemanufacturedtoAWWAStandards(C900, C905 and C909)are being usedforthemajorityofnewwaterand sewerforcemaininstallationsacrosstheUnitedStatesand Canada.IncreasingavailabilityofPVCfittingshasenabled engineerstoalsospecifyPVCfittings.Thesafetyand sustainabilityofthesecriticalpressurepipesystemsis enhancedbyintegratingmoldedandfabricatedPVC pressurefittingsintothespecifications. AWWA’s PVC pipe standards include C900, C905, and C909. PVC fittings fabricated from pipe are in AWWA C900 and C905,whileinjectionmoldedfittingsare definedinAWWA C907.These AWWA pipes and fittings standards together with AWWA’s consensus installation recommendations (C605) and design manual (M23) simplify the design and engineering ofacompletePVCpipingsystem.Inaddition,an engineeringteam ofon-callprofessionals isavailablefromthe Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association. Without charge or obligation, Uni-Bellgivesyou access toup-to-dateinformationthatcan beusefulintheproperselection,design,handling,field cutting,installationandtappingofPVC pipes.
