ONR CEN/TS 17176-3

This document specifies the characteristics of solid-wall oriented unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-O) fittings for piping systems intended for water supply and for buried drainage, sewerage, treated waste water and irrigation under pressure or above-ground where protected from direct sunlight. The scope of this document is limited to double sockets, repair couplings, reducers and to non-end load bearing elbows. It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to this document. In conjunction with FprEN 17176-1 and FprEN 17176-5, it is applicable to oriented PVC-O fittings intended to be used for the following: a) water mains and services lines; b) conveyance of water for both outside and inside buildings; c) drainage, sewerage and treated waste water under pressure; d) irrigation under pressure. It is applicable to piping systems intended for the supply of water with a maximum allowable operating pressure (PFA) up to and including 25 bar2. The piping system according to this European standard is intended for the conveyance of cold water up to and including 45 °C and especially in those applications where special performance requirements are needed, such as impact loads and pressure fluctuations. For temperatures between 25 °C and 45 °C, FprEN 17176-2:2018, Figure C.1 applies. This document specifies a range of fittings sizes and pressure classes and gives a requirement and recommendations concerning colours.
