History of Standard This standard was first. proposed in 1955 to provide standard dimensions for steel water pipe fittings. It was approved asa “tentative” standard on July 14, 1955. Revisions in the text were approved on Dec. 31, 1957, and were incorporated in the fourth and later printings. The revi- sions consisted of the addition of an explanatory paragraph. changes in the table for fittings for service in transmis- sion and distribution mains, and clarilica- tion of the figures detailing the various fittings. The standard was approved without further revision on Jan. 26, 1959. li, _ Information Regarding Use of This Standard When purchasing steel water pipe fit- tings under this standard, the purchaser should make reference in his purchase order specifications to the following |. Standard used—that is, AWWA 208-83 2. Type of fitting required. ic..elbow, tee, reducer. etc 3. Number of pieces or segments for elbows to be furnished 4. Type, class, and outside diameter of pipe to which the steel fitting will connect 5. Type of end connection required i.e. plain, flanged, bell. spigot. or mechanical coupling 6. Design pressure required 7. Lining and or 8. Special handling. inspection. oF testing required 9. Submittal of she drawings ating required ind 18 for information only and as not a part of AWWA. C208. Ill, Major Revisions 1. A foreword has been added to pro- vide the following sections: “History of Standard.” “Information Regarding Use of This Standard.” and *Major Revisions.” 2. Table 1 was revised to delete the 4-in. size and to extend sizes to 144 in. 3. Table 2 has been completely revised 4. Figure 3 was simplified and expanded to include sizes to 144 in. 5. Table 4 was omitted because dimensions of cast-iron pipe ends, as well as other special devices, should be secured from the manufacturers of those items prior to fabrication, 6. Table 3 Alternate and Table 5 were deleted since this information is ade- quately covered in AWWA Manual MI Steel Water Pipe—A Guide for Design and Installation 7. Reducing tees were added to Table Vand Figure | 8 The smooth 90-degree elbow cate- gory was deleted from Figure | and Table 1 9. The information given in Table | was changed from a tabular format to a formula format in order to ascertain dimensions for tees. crosses, wyes, kater- als, and reducers. A factor f was intro- duced in the new Table 1 to facilitate the use af formulas for computing fitting dimensions. 10, More fleasbility in elbow design is, permitted, with 2 2. 4. and S-piece elbows being inchiled in a new Figure 2 and Table 2.

Sec. 1,2 Conditions Not Covered This standard is intended to serve as a dimensional guide only. It is not intended to be a standard for wall thickness, pres sure ratings, design of connections, pipe ends,.or tolerance of fittings. Tolerances should be compatible with the manufac- turer's recommendation for the type of end connection selected. Many configura- tions of fittings are possible, and alterna- tives to this standard may be agreed upon between purchaser and contractor. Rein- forcement of fittings, which may include collars, wrapper plates, or crotch plates, is not covered in this standard. Reference should be made to the applicable section in AWWA Manual MII, Stee! Water Pipe—A Guide for Design and Installa- tion, for this information. Sec. 1.3 References This standard references the following documents. In their latest editions, they form a part of this standard to the extent specified herein: AWWA Manual MI!—Steel Water Pipe—A Guide for Designand Installation 'ASTM* A234—Specification for Pip- ing Fittings of Wrought Carbon Steel and Alloy Steel for Moderate and Elevated Temperatares. ~Tamerican Society for Testing and Material. 1916 Race St, Philadelphia, PA 19103.2 AWWA C206-89 Sec. 1.4 Definitions D.

The short side of the leg should be 6 in. or more Stress analyses of wyes are complex. Wyes may need either pads or crotch plate reinforcement, which are not shown in Figure le. Wye design should be checked using procedures listed in AWWA Manual MII, Stee!

Specification for Piping Fittings of Wrought Carbon Steel and Alloy Steel for Moderate and Elevated WATER PIPE s Temperatures, may be used when avail- able in suitable sizes. Dimensions should be obtained from the manufacturer. In specifying fabricated elbows, the designer should consider the hydraulic characteris- tics, space requirements, and benefit-cost ratio over the expected life of the pipeline. Elbows may be fabricated from two, three, or more pieces. The optimum radius in consideration of minimum head loss and manufacturing restraints is approximate | w@iiaatmmarammmiate . Elbows ‘of two to five pieces are shown in Figures 2a, 2b, 2c, and 2p. For angles A or diameters D not listed in Table 2, dimensions can_be computed using the formulas shown in the general notes to Table 2 27.1 Two-Piece Elbows, 0-45 De- grees. Elbows having a deflection angle A of 0-45 degrees may be fabricated in two pices with a miter angle not to exceed 22.5 degrees (the angle included between the cut and a line drawn perpen- dicular to the center line of the elbow segment). (Refer to Figure 2a.) 2.7.2. Three-Piece Elbows, 30-90 Degrees. Elbows having a deflection angle A over 30 degrees and up to 90 degrees, inclusive, may be fabricated from three pieces so that the miter angle does not ex 5 degrees. (Refer to Figure 2B.) 2.7.3 Four-Piece and Five- Piece Elbows, 45-90 Degrees. As alternates, elbows having a deflectionangle Aof over 45 degrces to 90 degrees may be fabricated using four or five pieces, as indicated in Figures 2¢ and 2b. Sec. 2.8 Tangent Outlets In special circumstances where a stan- dard nozzle cannot be installed in the pipe for use as a blow-off, a tangent nozzle may be used. Recommended dimensions are shown in Figure 3 and Table 3AWWA C208-83 ea Fig. 2A Two-Piece Elbow (0-45° ) See Note Fig. 2D Fig. 20 Four-Piece Elbow (45-90) NOTE: “a” may be extended beyond tangent line if necessary to suit joint requirements.
