AWWA C208 Pipe Fittings Standard |
AWWA C208 is an American Water Works Association standard that provides dimensions for fabricated steel water pipe fittings. It contains formulas for calculating the dimensions of various fittings used in steel water transmission and distribution facilities. This standard helps ensure the proper dimensions and compatibility of these fittings in water systems.
The standard was first proposed in 1955 to provide standard dimensions for steel water pipe joints.
AWWA C208 covers various types of fittings and addresses different configurations, including tees, cross pieces, wyes, laterals and reducers and specifies the material requirements for these fittings.
The standard provides dimensions, formulas and guidelines for calculating the overall dimensions of these fittings to meet the necessary standards for performance and safety.
The standard is critical to ensuring the structural integrity and compatibility of fittings in water line applications. The standard is used by both buyers and manufacturers of water line fittings.
