FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard (Part IV) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 26 February 1976, after the draft finalized by the Sanitary Appliances and Water Fittings Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council. 0.2 The injection moulded HDPE fittings are used for connection, welding process, to HDPE pipes covered by IS : 4984-1972*. by

0.3 The requirements of injection moulded HDPE fittings are covered in seven parts of the standard as given on the fourth cover page. Part I of the series deals with the general requirements applicable to all HDPE fittings and specific requirements of different types of fittings are covered in separate parts of the standard. This Part IV deals with specific requirements fr!r reducers. 0.4 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in Th e number of significant places retained accordance with IS : 2-1960t. in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

1. SCOPE 1.1 This standard ( Part IV ) lays down the requirements for manufacture, dimensions and tolerances, and marking for injection moulded reducers made of HDPE for potable water supplies.
