Frequently Asked
IS 7834 Part 5 (1987) defines dimensional tolerances primarily for laying length dimensions Z and socket length Z1 of injection moulded PVC 45° tees. For instance, a 20 mm tee has a Z tolerance of ±3 mm and a Z1 tolerance of +2/0/-1 mm. Tolerances vary with size, ensuring proper fit for solvent cement joints. Sizes over 160 mm are generally discouraged as per ISO. Detailed tolerance values for all sizes are specified in Clause 2.2.2.
The standard mandates usage of PVC complying with the general requirements outlined in IS 7834 Part 1 (1987). Fabrication must be via injection moulding to produce socket fittings suitable for solvent cement joints. Testing, sampling, and inspection procedures are also to follow Part 1 protocols, ensuring consistent quality and performance in potable water supply applications.
Markings on each 45° tee fitting should include the manufacturer's name or identification mark, the nominal size in millimeters, and the appropriate pressure class indicating the working pressure. These markings help in traceability and ensure compliance with dimensional specifications. The laying lengths Z and Z1 must also conform to those given in the standard.
The fittings are marked with pressure classes corresponding to their working pressures, as defined in IS 7834 Part 1. Commonly available pressure classes include 6 bar, 10 bar, and 16 bar, depending on size and application. The pressure class is clearly indicated on the fitting to guide proper selection and usage.
Yes, IS 7834 Part 5 provides laying length data for nominal sizes ranging from 20 mm up to 160 mm. The standard advises against using 45° elbows or tees larger than 160 mm in diameter, consistent with ISO recommendations, due to manufacturing and performance considerations. All fittings must comply with dimensional and marking requirements to ensure reliability.
