0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part 5 ) ( First Revision ) was adopted

by the Bureau of Indian
Standards
on 20 June 1988, after the draft
finalized by the Sanitary Appliances and Water
Fittings Sectional Committee had been approved
by the Civil Engineering Division Council.

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 accordance with IS : 2-1960t. The
number of significant
places retained in the
rounded off value should be the same as that of
the specified value in this standard.

0.3.1 Part 1 of this series deals with the

general requirements applicable to all fabricated
PVC fittings and specific requirements of different types of fittings are covered in separate
parts of the standard. This standard ( Part 5 )
deals with the specific requirements for equal
tees. This part was first published in 1982. The
present revision has been taken up to extend the
size of fittings to 630 mm in line with the sixes
of pipes specified in IS : 49851988.
