This committee report on plastic pipe and fittings discovered that there is a great deal of interest shown in plastic tubing and pipe in the industry and that a substantially large number of water utilities are installing plastic tubing and pipe. The report discusses three plastic compounds that are available for producing tubing and pipe for general use by water utilities: polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), and acrylonitrile‐butadiene‐styrene CABS). An appendix is included that lists available literature about plastics from the American Society for Testing and Materials, the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., and the National Sanitation Foundation, School of Public Health, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
