Plastové potrubní systémy pro rozvody vody a tlakové kanalizační přípojky, stokové sítě a odvody dešťové vody uložené v zemi i nad zemí - Molekulárně orientovaný neměkčený polyvinylchlorid (PVC-O) - Část 1: Obecně

ČSN EN 17176-1

This part of EN 17176 specifies the material characteristics of oriented unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-O) solid wall piping systems intended for water supply and for buried drainage, sewerage and irrigation under pressure or above-ground where protected from direct sunlight.
In conjunction with EN 17176-2, CEN/TS 17176-3 and EN ISO 1452-3, it is applicable to PVC-O pipes, PVC-O fittings, their joints and to joints with components of other plastics and non-plastics materials intended to be used for the following:
a) water mains and services lines;
b) conveyance of water for both outside and inside buildings;
c) drainage, sewerage and treated waste water under pressure;
d) irrigation under pressure.
Joints constructed of other materials will meet their own standards in addition to the fitness of purpose requirements specified in EN 17176-5.
It is applicable to piping systems intended for the supply of water with a maximum allowable operating pressure (PFA) up to and including 25 bar1). The piping system according to this document is intended for the conveyance of cold water up to and including 45 °C and especially in those applications where special performance requirements are needed, such as impact loads and pressure fluctuations.
For temperatures between 25 °C and 45 °C, EN 17176-2:2018, Figure C.1 applies.
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.
