ASTM D2467

Covers — Schedule 80 socket-type PVC pipe fittings for pressurized-liquid service: materials, workmanship, dimensions, and burst pressure, matched to Schedule 80 PVC pipe.

Does NOT cover (exclusions) — the following are governed elsewhere:

• Schedule 40 PVC fittings → ASTM D2466.
• CPVC fittings for higher temperature → ASTM F439 / F438.
• The pipe itself → ASTM D1785.
• Solvent-cement material → ASTM D2564.

D2467 (Sch 80 socket) pairs with D1785 Sch 80 pipe; D2466 covers the lighter Sch 40 fittings.

D2467 sets minimum requirements for Sch 80 PVC fittings:

• Material — PVC cell classification consistent with Schedule 80 service.
• Dimensions — socket dimensions and laying lengths matched to Sch 80 pipe.
• Burst Pressure — minimum short-term burst by size.
• Workmanship & Marking — freedom from defects and product identification.

ASTM D2467 specifies Schedule 80 socket-type PVC pipe fittings, matched to D1785 Schedule 80 pipe. The heavier Schedule 80 wall suits higher-pressure and industrial/chemical liquid service, and the socket connection is joined with PVC solvent cement to form a fused, monolithic joint.

Threaded PVC connections (Sch 80 only) are inherently weaker and prone to cracking if over-tightened, so socket-and-cement is preferred where possible. As with all PVC, chemical compatibility with the process fluid must be verified.

Engineering Note: Prefer solvent-cemented sockets over threaded PVC where you can, and never over-torque threaded PVC fittings — the notch-sensitive material cracks readily at the thread root under excess tightening or bending.
