ForewordThis foreword is for information only and is not a part of ANSI*/AWWA C800.

I. Introduction.

I.A. History. In 1929, the development of a standard for threads for underground service fittings was undertaken by the American Standards Association (ASA). In 1932, the subcommittee that had been appointed for the task asked to be discharged after it had submitted its proposed standards in the form of two drawings. No action was taken by ASA on these proposed standards.

The American Water Works Association (AWWA) recognized the need for stan-dardization of these threads and appointed a committee in 1940 to prepare a standard. The New England Water Works Association (NEWWA) also appointed a committee to prepare a standard for these threads. The AWWA and NEWWA committees coop-erated closely in developing a tentative standard in 1947. This was approved as a stan-dard by AWWA on Sept. 1, 1948, and by NEWWA on Sept. 14, 1948. Revisions to the standard were made effective Jan. 17, 1955. In July 1963, a committee was formed to revise C800-55 regarding the evaluation of types K and L copper tubing for water services. In the revision, published in 1966, threads representing current practice were established for those fittings generally used in the water utility field. Sizes ⁄ in. and ⁄ in. were added for inlet and outlet threads for fittings and couplings for use with flared copper service tubing. The 1966 revision introduced an appendix that was not part of the standard, but which listed standards for water service line materials. The appendix was provided for information only because the materials were covered by other standards. The appendix also contained specifications for copper water tubing, red brass pipe, cast-iron pipe, and steel pipe.

In 1974, a standing committee was formed to revise and update C800-66. The committee recognized the need to expand the scope of this standard beyond being a standard covering only threads for underground service fittings. Previous versions of C800 described only the threads for fittings that were in common use in water distribution systems. Subsequently, the scope of the standard was changed to include performance standards for underground service line fittings as well as for the threads. The 1984 revision to C800 was approved by the AWWA Board of Directors on

Jan. 29, 1984. Subsequent revisions were approved on Jan. 1, 1990; Jan. 21, 2001; and Jan. 16, 2005. This revision was approved on June 10, 2012.

I.B. Acceptance. In May 1985, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) entered into a cooperative agreement with a consortium led by NSF International* (NSF) to develop voluntary third-party consensus standards and a certification program for direct and indirect drinking water additives. Other members of the original consortium included the American Water Works Association Research Foundation (AwwaRF, now Water Research Foundation†) and the Conference of State Health and Environmental Managers (COSHEM). The American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA) joined later.

In the United States, authority to regulate products for use in, or in contact with, drinking water rests with individual states.‡ Local agencies may choose to impose requirements more stringent than those required by the state. To evaluate the health effects of products and drinking water additives from such products, state, provincial, and local agencies may use various references, including

1. An advisory program formerly administered by USEPA, Office of Drinking Water, discontinued on Apr. 7, 1990.

2. Specific policies of the state, provincial, or local agency.3. Two standards developed under the direction of NSF, NSF/ANSI 60,

Drinking Water Treatment Chemicals—Health Effects, and NSF/ANSI 61, Drinking Water System Components—Health Effects.

4. Other references, including AWWA standards, Food Chemicals Codex, Water Chemicals Codex,§ and other standards considered appropriate by the state, provincial, or local agency. Various certification organizations may be involved in certifying prod-ucts in accordance with NSF/ANSI 61. Individual states, provinces, or local agencies have authority to accept or accredit certification organizations within their jurisdiction. Accreditation of certification organizations may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

Annex A, “Toxicology Review and Evaluation Procedures,” to NSF/ANSI 61 does not stipulate a maximum allowable level (MAL) of a contaminant for substances not regulated by a USEPA final maximum contaminant level (MCL). The MALs of an

unspecified list of “unregulated contaminants” are based on toxicity testing guidelines (noncarcinogens) and risk characterization methodology (carcinogens). Use of Annex A procedures may not always be identical, depending on the certifier.

ANSI/AWWA C800 does not address additives requirements. Users of this stan-dard should consult the appropriate state, provincial, or local agency having jurisdic-tion in order to

1. Determine additives requirements, including applicable standards.2. Determine the status of certifications by parties offering to certify products

for contact with, or treatment of, drinking water.3. Determine current information on product certification.

II. Special Issues.

II.A. Lead Fittings. References to lead fittings have been removed from ANSI/AWWA C800 and the attached appendixes. The AWWA Standards Department has available to users of ANSI/AWWA C800 copies of ANSI/AWWA C800-84 information that contains references to lead fittings.

III. Use of This Standard. It is the responsibility of the user of an AWWA standard to determine that the products described in that standard are suitable for use in the particular application being considered.

III.A. Products Intended for Waterworks Applications. A variety of valves, fittings, and other water conveyance devices are available on the market for water service. For the user, it is important to distinguish between products designated plumbing style versus waterworks service style and to ensure the proper product is selected for the specific application. Waterworks products are designed and constructed for belowground installation. This helps ensure long-term performance under a variety of installation and service conditions. The specific materials established in AWWA C800 were selected to provide long-term performance and corrosion resistance from both internal and external sources. The user is cautioned that underground service line valves and fittings not compliant with AWWA C800 may result in unsatisfactory performance or failure of the product. When in doubt concerning product suitability, contact a waterworks manufacturer for assistance.

III.B. Purchaser Options and Alternatives.The following information should be provided by the purchaser:1. Standard used—that is, ANSI/AWWA C800, Standard for Underground

Service Line Valves and Fittings, of latest revision.2. The purchaser should state whether compliance with NSF/ANSI 61,

Drinking Water System Components—Health Effects, is to be required.

Sec. 4.5 Fabrication4.5.1 Workmanship. Valves, fittings, service saddles, and meter setters

shall be free of metal chips and filings in the waterway. Lubricated valves shall be free of excess lubricants in the waterway. Castings shall be clean and sound and without defects that could impair their service.

Sec. 4.6 PermeationThe selection of materials is critical for potable water, wastewater, and

reclaimed water service and distribution piping in locations where there is likeli-hood the pipe will be exposed to significant concentrations of pollutants composed of low-molecular-weight petroleum products or organic solvents or their vapors. Documented research has shown that pipe materials (such as polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride) and elastomers, such as those used in jointing gaskets and pack-ing glands, are subject to permeation by low-molecular-weight organic solvents or petroleum products. If a potable water, wastewater, or reclaimed water pipe must pass through such a contaminated area or an area subject to contamination, con-sult with the manufacturer regarding permeation of pipe walls, jointing material, and so on, before selecting materials for use in that area.

SECTION 5: VERIFICATION

Sec. 5.1 InspectionAll work according to this standard is subject to inspection and approval by

the purchaser.

Service saddles are tested for casting integrity between seal and outlet surface. The purchaser may request copies of factory tests.

Sec. 5.3 Basis for RejectionMaterial not complying with the requirements of this standard and the pur-

chaser’s documents may be rejected. Repairs, replacements, and retesting shall be accomplished in accordance with the purchaser’s documents.

SECTION 6: DELIVERY

Sec. 6.1 MarkingThe manufacturer’s name or trademark shall appear on the body of valves

and fittings. When appropriate and possible, it is recommended that markings on valves also include size, pressure rating, and direction of flow. The pressure rating shall be marked on high-pressure service valves as defined in this standard. Service saddles shall have the manufacturer’s name or trademark and outside diameter range or pipe designation marked on them. The type of outlet size and thread on service saddles shall be identified.

Sec. 6.2 Packing and ShippingValves, fittings, service saddles, and meter setters shall be complete and ready

to install when shipped. The manufacturer shall use care in preparing them for shipment to avoid damage during handling or transit.

APPENDIX B

Field Testing


Should purchasers choose to conduct field tests, the following recommenda-tions are available for general information.

SECTION B.1: FIELD TESTS

Field tests by the purchaser shall be in accordance with the pressures speci-fied in Sec. 4.2.2, as appropriate. External leakage through the valve body is not allowed. During testing of ground key stops, the outlet may be capped to eliminate leakage through the stop’s closed port opening.

Test pressures shall not exceed 150 percent of the maximum working pres-sure specified in Sec. 4.2.2 and Sec. 4.2.3. It is recommended that stop outlets be capped and tested in the open position.

When testing a water main, if capping the corporation stop is impractical, the recommended alternative is to test to the curb stop with the corporation stop in the open position.

Test pressures on service saddles for attachment to plastic pipe should be limited to 150 percent of the lower-rated component.

Service line pressure testing should be performed prior to backfilling to facil-itate leak detection and repair.

APPENDIX C

Installation


Should purchasers choose to conduct field tests, the following recommenda-tions are available for general information.

SECTION C.1: INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

For installing corporation and curb stops, the following recommendations are available for general information. The manufacturer’s installation instructions should be followed for best performance.

Use a smooth-jawed adjustable wrench that fully and evenly engages the stop wrenching flats. Loose-fitting wrenches and pipe wrenches may distort the stop and result in leakage. Place the wrench only on the stop body wrench flats. Do not use the rounded areas of the stop body for tightening into the main or saddle. Wrenching on other areas of the body may distort the valve and result in leakage.

When connecting the outlet service line, always use two wrenches to make the connection. Use one wrench to support the corporation stop and/or curb stop and the other wrench to tighten the service connection. Service line pressure test-ing should be performed prior to backfilling to facilitate leak detection and repair.

Backfill and compact soil carefully around the corporation stop, curb stop, and service line to prevent ground settling and damage to the valve or service line.
