This Indian Standard (Part 6 of IS 7834) specifies the requirements for injection-moulded unplasticized PVC (uPVC) sockets used with solvent cement joints for water supplies. It covers material composition, color, dimensional specifications, and performance tests like reversion and opacity. The standard ensures these fittings are compatible with uPVC pipes conforming to IS 4985.
