Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC-U) pipes for soil and waste discharge systems inside buildings including ventilation and rainwater system
IS 13592:2013 specifies requirements for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U) pipes used in soil and waste discharge systems inside and outside buildings, including ventilation and rainwater applications. Covering nominal diameters from 40 mm to 315 mm, it defines pipe types, dimensions, material composition, mechanical properties, and testing protocols to ensure durability, chemical resistance, and watertightness. This standard is essential for manufacturers, engineers, and contractors involved in plumbing and drainage systems to ensure compliance with Indian quality and safety norms.
