Why Choose PVC-U for Your Piping Systems?

PVC-U, or unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride), is a material renowned for its durability, chemical resistance, and cost-effectiveness. It is an ideal choice for piping systems that require reliable performance under varying temperature conditions. Here are some reasons why PVC-U is the preferred material for soil and waste discharge systems:

  • Durability: PVC-U pipes and fittings are designed to withstand the rigors of both low and high-temperature waste discharge, ensuring long-lasting performance.
  • Chemical Resistance: This material is highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals, making it suitable for various waste types.
  • Cost-Effective: PVC-U offers an economical solution without compromising on quality or performance.
  • Ease of Installation: The lightweight nature of PVC-U makes it easy to handle and install, reducing labor costs and time.

Comprehensive Coverage for All Your Needs

The BS EN 1329-1:2020 standard provides a detailed framework for the design, installation, and maintenance of PVC-U piping systems. It covers a wide range of aspects, including:

  • Pipe Dimensions: Specifications for the diameter, wall thickness, and length of pipes to ensure compatibility and performance.
  • Fitting Specifications: Detailed guidelines for the design and dimensions of fittings to ensure a secure and leak-proof connection.
  • System Requirements: Comprehensive requirements for the overall system, including jointing methods, testing procedures, and quality assurance.

Ensuring Compliance and Quality

Adhering to the BS EN 1329-1:2020 standard ensures that your piping systems meet the highest quality and safety standards. Compliance with this standard not only guarantees the reliability and efficiency of your systems but also enhances the reputation of your projects by demonstrating a commitment to excellence.

Applications Across Various Sectors

The versatility of PVC-U piping systems makes them suitable for a wide range of applications across different sectors, including:

  • Residential Buildings: Ideal for waste discharge systems in homes and apartment complexes.
  • Commercial Properties: Suitable for office buildings, shopping centers, and other commercial establishments.
  • Industrial Facilities: Effective in handling waste discharge in factories and industrial plants.

Conclusion

The BS EN 1329-1:2020 standard is an indispensable resource for anyone involved in the design, installation, or maintenance of soil and waste discharge systems within building structures. By specifying the use of PVC-U, this standard ensures that your systems are not only efficient and reliable but also cost-effective and easy to install.

DESCRIPTION

BS EN 1329-1:2020


This standard BS EN 1329-1:2020 Plastics piping systems for soil and waste discharge (low and high temperature) within the building structure. Unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) is classified in these ICS categories:
  • 23.040.01 Pipeline components and pipelines in general

This document specifies the requirements for solid wall pipes with smooth internal and external surfaces, extruded from the same formulation throughout the wall, fittings and the system of unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U) piping systems intended for soil and waste discharge applications (low and high temperature):

  1. inside buildings (application area code “B”);

  2. for both inside buildings and buried in ground within the building structure (application area code “BD”).

NOTE 1

The intended use is reflected in the marking of products by “B”e e e or “BD”.

NOTE 2

Application "B" covers uses above ground inside the building, or outside buildings fixed onto the wall.

NOTE 3

Multilayer pipes with different formulations throughout the wall and foamed core pipes are covered by EN 1453-1 [ 1].

NOTE 4

For use buried in ground within the building structure are intended only those components (marked with “BD”) with nominal outside diameters equal to or greater than 75 mm.

NOTE 5

EN 476 [ 2] specifies the general requirements for components used in discharge pipes, drains and sewers for gravity systems. Pipes and fittings conforming to this standard fully meet these requirements.

This document is also applicable to PVC-U pipes, fittings and the system intended for the following purposes:

  1. ventilating part of the pipework in association with discharge applications;

  2. rainwater pipework within the building structure.

This document also specifies the test parameters for the test methods that are referred to.

This document covers a range of nominal sizes, a range of pipes and fittings series and gives recommendations concerning colours.

NOTE 6

It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to make the appropriate selections from these aspects, taking into account their particular requirements and any relevant national regulations and installation practices or codes.

NOTE 7

Pipes, fittings and other components conforming to any of the plastics product standards listed in Annex B can be used with pipes and fittings conforming to this document, provided they conform to the requirements for joint dimensions given in Clause 7 and to the requirements of Table 26.
