Work Item

ASTM WK90788

New Specification for Special Alternative Elastomeric Compound Standard to replace Polychloroprene (Neoprene) with another compound having the same or equal characteristics compliant with the requirements found in ASTM C564

1. Scope

This specification covers preformed rubber gaskets used to seal joints in cast iron soil pipes and fittings and transitions to other types of drain waste vent and sewer piping materials used for non pressure above ground and below ground applications.

Keywords

Hubless, No Hub, push on gaskets, compression gaskets

Rationale

Reports of possible restrictions of the manufacture of neoprene or polythiophene could cause the need for a new gasket material to replace C564 which is referenced in multiple A04 Committee standards.
