1211.2 Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) Pipe

Uniform Mechanical Code 2018 of Nevada > 12 Hydronics > 1211.0 Joints and Connections > 1211.2 Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) Pipe
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Joints between chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) pipe or fittings shall be installed in accordance with one of the following methods:
  1. Mechanical joints shall include flanged, grooved, and push fit fittings. Removable and non-removable push fit fittings with an elastomeric o-ring that employ quick assembly push fit connectors shall be in accordance with ASSE 1061.
  2. Solvent cement joints for CPVC pipe and fittings shall be clean from dirt and moisture. Solvent cements in accordance with ASTM F493, requiring the use of a primer shall be orange in color. The primer shall be colored and be in accordance with ASTM F656. Listed solvent cement in accordance with ASTM F493 that does not require the use of primers, yellow or red in color, shall be permitted for pipe and fittings manufactured in accordance with ASTM D2846, 1/2 of an inch (15 mm) through 2 inches (50 mm) in diameter or ASTM F442, 1/2 of an inch (15 mm) through 3 inches (80 mm) in diameter. Apply primer where required inside the fitting and to the depth of the fitting on pipe. Apply liberal coat of cement to the outside surface of pipe to depth of fitting and inside of fitting. Place pipe inside fitting to forcefully bottom the pipe in the socket and hold together until joint is set.
  3. Threaded joints for CPVC pipe shall be made with pipe threads in accordance with ASME B1.20.1. A minimum of Schedule 80 shall be permitted to be threaded, and the pressure rating shall be reduced by 50 percent. The use of molded fittings shall not result in a 50 percent reduction in the pressure rating of the pipe provided that the molded fittings shall be fabricated so that the wall thickness of the material is maintained at the threads. Thread sealant compound that is compatible with the pipe and fitting, insoluble in water, and nontoxic shall be applied to male threads. Caution shall be used during assembly to prevent over tightening of the CPVC components once the thread sealant has been applied. Female CPVC threaded fittings shall be used with plastic male threads only.
