AWWA C800-21 PDF Download

AWWA C800-21 is a standard that outlines the specifications for various components used in underground service lines, including valves, fittings, service saddles, and meter setters. These components are designed to facilitate the connection of a service line to the water main and provide the necessary control and measurement capabilities.

The standard specifies the materials, dimensions, and performance requirements for the various components, taking into account factors such as pressure, temperature, and water quality. For example, the valves must be capable of withstanding a minimum pressure of 200 psi and must meet certain standards for leakage and operability. The fittings must be compatible with the service line materials and must be able to provide a secure, leak-free connection.

Service saddles and meter setters are also covered by this standard. The service saddles are used to make an opening in the main for the connection of the service line. They must be designed to withstand the pressure and stress of the water main and must provide a secure, reliable connection to the service line. Meter setters are used to mount meters and other measurement devices and provide a means for isolating the meter from the service line for maintenance purposes.
