I. Introduction.
I.A. Background. American National StandardsInstitute (ANSI) Committee
A21 on Cast-Iron Pipe and Fittings was organized in 1926 and sponsored by the
American Gas Association (AGA), the American Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM), AWWA, and theNew England Water Works Association (NEWWA). Between
1972 and 1984, the co-secretariats were AGA,AWWA, and NEWWA, with AWWA
serving as administrativesecretariat.In
1984 the committeebecame an AWWA
committee named A W A Standards Committee A21 on Ductile-Iron Pipeand
Fittings. Committee A21 develops standards and manuals addressing ductile-iron
pressure pipe for water and other liquids; and ductile-iron and gray-iron fittings for
use with this typeof pipe. These standards and manualsinclude design, dimensions,
materials,coatings,linings,joints,
accessories, and methods of inspection and
testing.
The work of Committee A21 is conducted by subcommittees. The scope of
Subcommittee 1, Pipe, includes the periodic review of all current Committee A21
standards for pipe; the preparation of revisions and new standards;andother
matters pertaining to pipe standards.
I.B. History. Flangedfittings sizes 3 in.through 48 in. (76 mm through
1,219 mm) are described in ANSUAWWA CllO/A21.10, American National Standard
for Ductile-Iron andGray-IronFittings,
3 In.Through 48 In. (76 mm Through
1,219 mm), forWater. Flangedfittings sizes 54 In.Through 64 In. (1,400 mm
Through 1,600 mm) are covered in ANSUAWWA C153/A21.53, American National
Standard for Ductile-Iron Compact Fittings, 3 In. Through 24 In. (76 mm Through
610 mm)and 54 In. Through 64 In. (1,400 mm Through 1,600 mm), for Water
Service. The flanged pipe used with these fittingshas been purchased for many years
in accordance with users, manufacturers,andfabricators
standards. An ANSI
standard was needed for flanged pipe. Consequently, Subcommittee 1 submitted a
proposed standard for flanged pipe to Committee A21 in 1974. The first edition of the
standard was adopted in 1975, with subsequent editions published in
1983, 1988, and
1994. Subcommittee 1 reviewed the 1994 edition and submitted a proposed revision
to Committee A21 in 1999. This edition was approved on June 20, 1999.
I.C. Acceptance. In May 1985, the US EnvironmentalProtection Agency
(USEPA) enteredinto a cooperative agreementwitha
consortium led by NSF
International (NSF)to develop voluntarythird-partyconsensusstandardsand
a
certification program for alldirect and indirectdrinking water additives. Other
members of the original consortium included the American Water Works Association
Research Foundation (AWWARF) 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 withindividualstates. Local agencies may choose to
impose requirements more stringent than those required by the state. To evaluate

Mexico, and non-North American countries should contact the

the health effects of products and drinking water additivesfrom such products, state
and local agencies may use various references, including
1. A n advisory program formerly administered by USEPA, Office of Drinking
Water, discontinued on Apr. 7, 1990.
2. Specific policies of the state or local agency.
3. Two standards developed underthe direction ofNSF, ANSI*/NSFt 60,
Drinking Water Treatment Chemicals-Health Effects, and ANSI/NSF 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 or local
agency.
Various certification organizations may be involved in c e r t i ~ n gproducts in
accordance with ANSUNSF 61. Individual states or local agencies haveauthority to
accept or accredit certification organizations within their jurisdiction. Accreditation
of certification organizations may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Appendix A, Toxicology Review and Evaluation Procedures, to ANSVNSF 61
does not stipulate a maximum allowable level (MAL) of a contaminant for substances
not regulatedby a USEPA final maximum contaminant level (MCL). The M A L S of an
unspecified list of unregulatedcontaminants
are based on toxicity testing
guidelines (noncarcinogens) and risk characterizationmethodology (carcinogens). Use
of Appendix A procedures may not always be identical, dependingon the certifier.
ANSUAWWA C115/A21.15 does not address additives requirements. Therefore,
users of this standard should consult the appropriate state or local agency having
jurisdiction in order to
1. Determine additives requirements including applicable standards.
2. Determine thestatus of certifications by all parties offering to certify
products for contact with, or treatment of, drinking water.
3. Determine current information on product certification.
II. Special Issues.
1I.A. FZange Material Properties. Because this standard requires the material
properties of gray-iron and ductile-iron flanges to comply with ANSUAWWA C110/
A21.10, the following material properties specified in ANSUAWWA CllOIA21.10 are
listed below for information purposes.
1. Gray-iron flanges, in accordance with ANSUAWWA CllO/A21.10, shall be
manufactured of the following minimum tensile-strength iron.

?The 250 psi joint rating isdependent on gaskets, installation, and other factors
beyond the
scope of this standard and has evolved over an extended period of time of satisfactory
performance. This rating was developed prior to the use of ductile-iron flanges. Ductileiron pipe with ductile-iron, screwed-on flanges can now be rated for a working pressure of
350 psi for 12" and smaller sizes, and 250 psi for 14"-64" sizes. A surge allowance of 100
psi may be added to these working pressures. Refer to ANSVAWA C150/A21.50 for
calculation methods for pipe barrels. Special gaskets are required for flanged joints with
working pressures above 250 psi. Note that the strength of all ductile-iron flanges will be
greater than that of gray-iron flanges.

and inspects for damage. The purchaser should carefully document any nonconformance or damageand promptly notify theappropriateparties
(manufacturer,
fabricator,supplier,carrier,
etc.), becausethese
parties may notbeliableif
nonconformance or damageis discovered later. The purchasershould also requirethe
carriers agent to record shortages or damage on the delivery receipt prior to leaving
the point of delivery.
This standard defines both manufacturer and fabricator. A manufacturer may
manufacture the pipe or the flange and fabricate the finished product and, therefore,
be identified by both terms. A fabricator may procure the pipe and flanges and
fabricate the finished productand, therefore, would not be labeled a manufacturer for
the purposes of this standard.
III. Use of This Standard. AWWA has no responsibility for the suitability
or compatibility of the provisions of this standard to any intended application by any
user. Accordingly, each user of this standard is responsible for determining that the
standards provisions aresuitable for and compatible with that users intended
application.
1II.A. Purchaser Options and Alternatives. A number of items must be specified by thepurchaser to completely describe the pipe required. This standard
includescertain options that, if desired, must be specified in the purchasers
specifications. It is also necessary that these options be included on the purchase
order. The following list summarizes these details and available options and lists the
sections of the standard where they can befound:
1, Required information
a. Size
b. Finished length
c. Linings
1. Cement-mortar lining (Sec. 4.4.2). Experience hasindicatedthat
asphaltic inside coating is not complete protection against loss in pipe
capacity because of tuberculation. Cement-mortar linings are recommended for most waters.
2. Asphaltic lining (Sec. 4.4.3).

SECTION
C.1:
SERVICE
Flanged ductile-iron pipe may be further fabricated to produce wall pipe. Wall
pipe employs wall collars whose primary function is to control seepage along the
outside of the pipe through the concrete wall. These collars are commonly referred to
as waterstops or seep rings. They are not designed for thrust restraint. Collars for
thrust restraint require different design considerations and are not discussed in this
standard. Duringconstruction, wall pipes are generally placed intoforms,and
concrete is poured and properly consolidated around the pipe to create the embedded
wall pipe. Joining pipes may be attached after forms are removed.
