IS 10124 Part 13 specifies dimensions for 11¼° PVC-U bends as follows:
Dimensions must comply with Table 1 and Fig. 1 for general bends.
For elastomeric sealing ring joint bends, dimensions must comply with Table 2 and Fig. 2.
Key points:
The standard covers fabricated PVC-U bends for potable water.

Summary: Use the tables and figures in IS 10124 Part 13 for precise dimensional details of 11¼° PVC-U bends.
?Which pressure classes and corresponding wall thicknesses does IS 10124 Part 13 cover?▼
IS 10124 Part 13 covers pressure classes from 0.4 MPa (Class 2) up to 1.25 MPa (Class 6) for bends, with corresponding minimum wall thicknesses specified for each nominal pipe size.
Pressure Classes & Wall Thickness Summary:
Pressure Class (MPa)
Class No.
Wall Thickness Range (mm) Example (Nominal Size 50 mm)

1.0
Class 5
2.5 - 3.8

Class 6
3.0 - 4.6
Wall thickness increases with nominal pipe size and pressure class.
For example, a 50 mm nominal size pipe requires a minimum wall thickness of 1.0 mm at 1.0 MPa, and 1.3 mm at 1.25 MPa (plain end bends).
Bends with elastomeric sealing ring joints have slightly different thickness requirements (see Table 2 in the standard).
Additional Notes:
Minimum bend radius = 3 × nominal outside diameter (D).
For 0.25 MPa class, bends are not made from 0.25 MPa pipes but from 0.4 MPa class pipes.
This ensures safe design for pressure piping bends as per IS 10124 Part 13:2009.
?How are the bends marked and color-coded according to pressure ratings?▼
According to IS 10124 Part 13, Clause 4.1, each 11¼° bend must be marked with:
Manufacturer's name/ID
Size and class (working pressure per IS 4985)

Bends are marked in specific colors to indicate their pressure rating class.
This facilitates easy identification and ensures correct application in piping systems.
This marking ensures compliance with IS standards for safety and compatibility.
?Can these bends be used with elastomeric sealing ring joints, and what are the requirements?▼
Use of Bends with Elastomeric Sealing Ring Joints (IS 10124 Part 13)
Applicability: Yes, bends can be used with elastomeric sealing ring joints.
Requirements:
Dimensions must comply with Table 2 and Fig. 2 of the code (Clause 3.2.2).

Ensures proper sealing and joint integrity under pressure.
Additional Info:
For 11¼° bends, follow the elastomeric joint dimensions in Table 2.
For 22½° bends, specific requirements are also included (not detailed here).

?How does this standard relate to IS 4985 for PVC pipes?▼
Relationship between IS 10124 Part 13 and IS 4985:
IS 4985 (2000) specifies requirements for unplasticized PVC (uPVC) pipes used in potable water supply.
IS 10124 Part 13 (2009) covers fabricated uPVC fittings (specifically 11440 bends) for potable water systems.
The sizes and classes of fittings in IS 10124-13 are aligned with IS 4985, ensuring compatibility between pipes and fittings.
This alignment ensures:
Consistent dimensions and pressure ratings.
Seamless integration of pipes and fittings in potable water networks.
Standardized quality and performance criteria across the piping system.
In summary, IS 10124 Part 13 complements IS 4985 by specifying fittings that match the pipes' specifications, enabling a coherent PVC piping system for potable water.
?Are there specific guidelines for plain ends versus socketed ends in these fittings?▼
IS 10124 Part 13: Guidelines for Plain Ends vs Socketed Ends in Fittings
Ends Configuration:
Bends can have plain ends at both sides or be socketed at one or both ends.
The choice depends on mutual agreement between the manufacturer and purchaser (Clause 3.2.3).
Socket Dimensions:
If socketed, dimensions must comply with IS 10124 Part 1 (covers socket dimensions and tolerances).
Pressure Class Note:
For 0.25 MPa pressure class, do not use bends made from 0.25 MPa pipes.
Instead, use bends from 0.4 MPa pressure class pipes for better strength.
No Specific Clause:
No detailed IS code clauses for socket specifics, 22½° bends, or threaded adaptors in this part.
