Standard Specification for Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) Storm Sewer Basins for Gravity Flow

1.1 This specification covers requirements and test methods for fabricated solid wall poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) storm sewer basins. The intent of the PVC basin is to be used in conjunction with, but not limited to, pipe materials such as: D3034, F794, F891, F949, F1760, F1803, F2306, F2435, F2648, F2763, F2764, F2947, or F2881. Basins shall be manufactured from piping, or from a combination of pipe and injection molded parts with or without flat or machined PVC stock.

1.2 The requirements of this specification are to provide fabricated PVC basins suitable for non-pressure drainage of surface water.

1.3 Basins produced to this specification are intended to be installed with pipe. Pipe shall be installed in accordance with Practice D2321. Additional installation guidance for the basin is provided in 8.1.

1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.5 The following precautionary caveat pertains to the test method portion only, Section 11, of this specification. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
