I. Introduction.
I.A. Background. American National Standards Committee A21 on Cast-Iron

©
Pipe and Fittings was organized in 1926 under the sponsorship of the American Gas
Association (AGA), the ASTM International (ASTM), the American Water Works
Association (AWWA), and the New England Water Works Association (NEWWA).
Between 1972 and 1984, the co-secretariats were AGA, AWWA, and NEWWA, with
AWWA serving as administrative secretariat. In 1984, the committee became an
AWWA committee with the name AWWA Standards Committee A21 on Ductile
Iron Pipe and Fittings. In 1988, NEWWA withdrew as a separate secretariat; however,
it continues to maintain its representation on the A21 Committee. In 1997, AGA
withdrew as co-secretariat.
The present scope of Committee A21 activity is the development of standards and
manuals addressing ductile-iron pressure pipe for water and ductile-iron and gray-iron
fittings for use with such pipe. These standards and manuals include topics, such as
design, dimensions, materials, coatings, linings, joints, accessories, methods of inspec-
tion and testing, and installation.
The work of Committee A21 is conducted by subcommittees. The scope of Subcom-
--``,,,,,,,``,,`,``,`,`,``,,,`,,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

mittee 3, Fittings, includes the periodic review of current A21 standards for fittings and
the preparation of revisions and new standards, when needed, for fittings to be used with
cast-iron and ductile-iron pressure pipe included in A21 standards.
I.B. History. The evolution of AWWA and ANSI standards for fittings is
presented in this foreword to provide information relating to systems having aged cast-
iron pipe and fittings still in service.
The earliest record of an AWWA standard for cast-iron pipe is contained in the
Report of Proceedings of the Tenth Annual Meeting of the American Water Works
Association (1890). In 1902, NEWWA adopted a more detailed standard titled
“Standard Specification for Cast Iron Pipe and Special Castings.”
The next AWWA standard for pipe and fittings, AWWA 7C.1-1908, was approved
May 12, 1908. A second edition, AWWA C100-52T, was approved by AWWA
Dec. 31, 1952, and by NEWWA Jan. 23, 1953. The third edition, AWWA C100-54T,

having only one OD and pressure rating. Fittings 14 to 24 in. (350 to 600 mm) in size
were provided in classes B and D, and fittings 30 to 60 in. (750 to 1,500 mm) in size
were provided in classes A, B, C, and D. Fittings made in accordance with AWWA
7C.1-1908 and C100-55 had the class identification cast on the fitting.
ASA* A21.10-1952 (AWWA C110-52) was approved by ASA Sept. 30, 1952, fol-
lowing approval by AWWA May 4, 1951. The standard described 3- to 12-in. (80- to
300-mm) fittings of the so-called short-body design, which were the subject of exten-
sive research and tests by Committee A21. The rated pressure given by the standard
was 250 psi (1,724 kPa) plus water hammer. The standard provided a safety factor of
2.5 plus water hammer based on burst tests. Hydraulic losses were determined and
compared with those found with long-radius fittings manufactured in accordance with
AWWA Standards. The minimum grade of cast iron in the standard was 25,000 psi
(172.4 MPa) tensile strength.
ASA A21.10-1964 (AWWA C110-64) was approved by ASA Jan. 9, 1964. The revi-
sion described 2- to 48-in. (50- to 1,200-mm) fittings. The design of the 14- to 48-in.
(350- to 1,200-mm) fittings in the revision was based on an exhaustive series of burst
tests. The minimum grade of cast iron (25,000 psi [172.4 MPa] tensile strength) was
retained, and higher grades up to 35,000 psi (241.3 MPa) tensile strength were used to
secure higher pressure ratings without radically changing the thicknesses. Ductile iron,
grade 80-60-03, was also added in the 14- to 48-in. (350- to 1,200-mm) sizes with
a rated working pressure of 250 psi (1,724 kPa), having the same wall thicknesses as
150-psi (1,034-kPa) rated gray-iron fittings. The minimum safety factor based on burst
tests of representative fittings of the weakest type was three times the rated working
pressure. Tables for flanged fittings and mechanical-joint fittings were added for the
first time.

Institute.

half times the rated working pressure without leaks or permanent distortions.
ANSI A21.10a-1972 (AWWA C110a-72) was approved Dec. 17, 1972, as a supple-
ment to ANSI A21.10-1971. The pressure rating for 14- to 24-in. (350- to 600-mm)
ductile-iron fittings was increased to 350 psi (2,413 kPa).
ANSI/AWWA C110-77 (ANSI A21.10) was approved by ANSI Apr. 7, 1977.
The major change in this revision was the discontinuance of bell-and-spigot fittings
(caulked joints) and 2- and 21/ 4 -in. (50- and 56-mm) fittings in the standard. These
--``,,,,,,,``,,`,``,`,`,``,,,`,,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

actions were taken because the use of caulked joints had steadily declined until their
use had become a rarity and the 2- and 21/ 4 -in. (50- and 56-mm) sizes were no longer
manufactured in the United States. (Bell-and-spigot fittings are still available from
some foundries on special order.) With the elimination of 2- and 21/ 4 -in. (50- and
56-mm) sizes, the standard included 3- to 48-in. (80- to 1,200-mm) mechanical-joint
and flanged fittings only.
Another change made in the 1977 edition was in bolt lengths for flanged fittings
to comply with ANSI/AWWA C115/A21.15-75, Standard for Flanged Cast-Iron and
Ductile-Iron Pipe With Threaded Flanges. Appendix A was added to the standard to
cover bolts, gaskets, and the installation of flanged fittings. Appendix B was added as
a listing of available special fittings that are not a part of the standard. These include
reducing bends, Y-branches, blind flanges, reducing tees, bullhead tees, flared fittings,
side-outlet tees and elbows, and wall pipe.
The following note introduced in the 1977 edition cautioned about using mechan-
ical-joint fittings with aged existing cast-iron pipe:
Note: Care should be used when connecting mechanical-joint fittings to aged
existing cast-iron pipe. The outside diameter of aged pipe should be measured prior
to cutting since some of the older pipe was manufactured to a larger diameter than
is presently specified in A21 standards. Mechanical-joint sleeves or bell-and-spigot
(caulked-joint) sleeves are available to provide transition from existing cast-iron pipe;
however, they must be specified on the purchase order. Center to bottom-of-socket
dimensions (dimension A in Table 3 and dimension J in Table 4 of this standard)
for A21.10 mechanical-joint fittings are the same as the center to bottom-of-socket

ANSI/AWWA C110/A21.10-87 was approved by ANSI Oct. 30, 1987. The major
revisions included new sections on rejection of fittings and determination of rejection,
and ductile-iron grade 60-42-10 was added. Cast marking of the country where cast was
added; Sec. 10-4.3, Joint Accessories, was added; and 14-in. through 48-in. (350-mm
through 1,200-mm) solid sleeves made with B-pattern equipment were added.
ANSI/AWWA C110/A21.10-93 was approved by ANSI Aug. 10, 1993. Major
revisions in this edition of the standard included the addition of a section on health
effects and permeation, allowance for reduced metal-section thicknesses for ductile-
iron glands, addition of a precautionary note on the use of flange gaskets thinner than
1/ 8 in. (3.2 mm) in appendix A, addition of flanged-joint bolt tightening sequence to

appendix A, and the addition of a section on ring gaskets in appendix A.

ANSI/AWWA C110/A21.10-98 was approved by ANSI September 10, 1998. Major
revisions included limiting the scope to water service, noting the possibility of 350 psi

revisions included recognition of the current scope of the A21 Committee. The scope
of the standard was amended and Tables 12 and 15 through 19 were footnoted to
recognize that 24-in. (600-mm) and smaller flanged fittings may be rated for 350 psi
(2,413 kPa) with the use of specially designed gaskets, either ring or full-face, using
annular rings molded into the gasket to improve performance as recommended by the
manufacturer.
The scope of the standard was additionally revised to include a surge allow-
ance. Sec. 4.3.1 was revised to reference ANSI/AWWA C111/A21.11 for the details
of mechanical joint bell, plain end, and accessories. The figure and table providing
details of the mechanical joint were deleted. Sec. 4.4.4 was revised to include fusion-
bonded epoxy coating systems as a manufacturer’s option.
ANSI/AWWA C110/A21.10-08 was approved by the AWWA Board of Directors
on Jan. 27, 2008. Major revisions included expansion of the scope and purpose to
include wastewater and reclaimed water and additional requirements for materials.
This edition was approved on Jan. 22, 2012.
I.C. Acceptance. In May 1985, the US Environmental Protection Agency
(USEPA) entered into a cooperative agreement with a consortium led by NSF
International (NSF) to develop voluntary third-party consensus standards and a
certification program for direct and indirect drinking water additives. Other members
of the original consortium included the American Water Works Association Research
Foundation (AwwaRF, now Water Research Foundation) and the Conference of State
Health and Environmental Managers (COSHEM). The American Water Works
Association 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 with individual states.* Local agencies may choose to impose
requirements more stringent than those required by the state. To evaluate the health

Various certification organizations may be involved in certifying products in accor-
dance with NSF/ANSI 61. Individual states or local agencies have authority to accept
or accredit certification organizations within their jurisdiction. Accreditation of certi-
fication organizations may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Annex A, “Toxicology Review and Evaluation Procedures,” to NSF/ANSI 61 does
not stipulate a maximum allowable level (MAL) of a contaminant for substances not
regulated by a USEPA final maximum contaminant level (MCL). The MALs of an
unspecified list of “unregulated contaminants” are based on toxicity testing guidelines
(noncarcinogens) and risk characterization methodology (carcinogens). Use of Annex A
procedures may not always be identical, depending on the certifier.
ANSI/AWWA C110/A21.10 does not address additives requirements. Thus, 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 the status of certifications by parties offering to certify products
for contact with, or treatment of, drinking water.
3. Determine current information on product certification.
II. Special Issues.
II.A. Advisory Information on Product Application. Unless otherwise provided in
the purchaser’s documents, all fittings and accessories shall comply with this standard.

should be noted:
1. The fittings for which this standard is intended are those normally used
for potable water, wastewater, and reclaimed water. The 120°F (49°C) temperature
maximum (Sec. 1.1) reflects immersion temperature limitations of most epoxies. Seal-

dations of manufacturers regarding their product.
3. Attention is directed to an apparent conflict between this standard and
ASME B16.1, Cast Iron Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings, with regard to pressure
ratings for flanged fittings.
In ANSI/AWWA C110/A21.10, flanged joint fittings are rated for 150- or 250-psi
(1,034- or 1,724-kPa) working pressure, depending on the material, that is, gray iron
or ductile iron; the wall thickness of gray iron; and the size of the fitting. The ratings of
these fittings were established on the basis of hydrostatic testing of fittings to bursting
and provide for a factor of safety of at least 3.0 at the rated working pressure and at
ambient temperature. ANSI/AWWA C110/A21.10 flanges that are adequate for water
service of 250-psi (1,724-kPa) working pressure have facing and drilling identical to
ASME B16.1 class 125 flanges and match class 125 B16.1 flanges that for service at
–20° to 150°F (–28.9° to 65.6°C) are rated for only 150 to 200 psi (1,034 to 1,724 kPa),
depending on the flange size and the class or grade of iron.
ASME B16.1 describes both separate flanges and flanged fittings of gray iron for
service at both ambient and elevated temperatures. The pressure-temperature ratings
of these flanges, as stated in ASME B16.1 and stated on the flyleaf of that standard,
are not based on burst strength, but have evolved over an extended period of time of
satisfactory performance in a wide range of general service conditions. These ratings
encompass pressure combined with elevated temperature, stresses imposed by piping,
thermal stresses caused by temperature variations, and many other conditions causing
stress in the flange or fitting.
ASME B16.1 also contains the design of a class 250 flange, which is much heavier,
has a larger bolt circle, and uses larger-sized bolts than the B16.1 class 125 flange
and the flanges described in ANSI/AWWA C115/A21.15 and in this standard. ASME
B16.1 class 250 flanges will not connect to the B16.1 class 125 flange, the ANSI/
AWWA C115/A21.15 flange, or the ANSI/AWWA C110/A21.10 flange.
4. Although this standard does not detail the orientation of bolt holes in the
flanges of the mechanical joint, it is at times convenient or necessary to have the bolt
holes specially oriented. The normal but not universal practice is to have the bolt holes

Ductile-Iron and Gray-Iron Fittings

SECTION 1: GENERAL

Sec. 1.1 Scope

This standard describes 3- to 48-in. (80- to 1,200-mm)* gray-iron or ductile-
iron fittings to be used with ductile-iron pipe for potable water, wastewater, and
reclaimed water for a temperature range of 33°–120° F (0.6°–49°C). Requirements
for fittings with mechanical joints and flanged joints are listed in Tables 3 through
21 at the end of this standard. This standard may also be used for fittings with
push-on joints or such other joints as may be agreed on at the time of purchase.
For the 3- to 24-in. (80- to 600-mm) size range, ductile-iron mechani-
cal-joint fittings and ductile-iron push-on-joint fittings are rated for 350-psi
(2,413-kPa) working pressure. Ductile-iron flange-joint fittings are rated for
250-psi (1,724-kPa) working pressure; however, 24-in. (600-mm) and smaller
sizes may be rated for 350 psi (2,413 kPa) with the use of special gaskets.
Gray-iron fittings having all types of joints described in this standard are rated
for 150- or 250-psi (1,034- or 1,724-kPa) working pressures, as shown in the
tables.
For the 30- to 48-in. (750- to 1,200-mm) size range, fittings with all types
of joints described in this standard are shown in the tables with rated working

pressures of 150 or 250 psi (1,034 or 1,724 kPa), depending on the type of iron, as
shown in the tables.
Fittings are adequate for the rated working pressure plus a surge allowance of
100 psi (689 kPa) or a surge allowance of half the rated working pressure, which-
ever is less.

Sec. 1.2 Purpose

4.1.2 Certification. Products intended for contact with potable water shall
be certified to the requirements of NSF/ANSI 61. Certification shall be accom-
plished by a certification organization accredited by the American National Stan-
dards Institute (ANSI).

Sec. 4.2 Permeation

The selection of materials is critical for potable water, wastewater, and
reclaimed water service and distribution piping in locations where there is likeli-
hood the pipe will be exposed to significant concentrations of pollutants composed
of low-molecular-weight petroleum products or organic solvents or their vapors.
Documented research has shown that pipe materials (such as polyethylene and
polyvinyl chloride) and elastomers, such as used in jointing gaskets and packing
glands, are subject to permeation by low-molecular-weight organic solvents or
petroleum products. If a potable water, wastewater, and reclaimed water pipe must
pass through such a contaminated area or an area subject to contamination, con-
sult with the manufacturer regarding permeation of pipe walls, jointing materials,
and so on, before selecting materials for use in that area.

Samples for chemical analyses shall be representative and shall be obtained

from either an acceptance-test specimen or specimens cast for this purpose.

Sec. 5.6 Additional Tests Required by the Purchaser

If tests other than those provided in this standard are required by the pur-
chaser, such tests shall be specified by the purchaser. Although it is not custom-

©
ary to make hydrostatic proof tests of fittings at the foundry, such tests may be
made if specified by the purchaser. If proof tests at the foundry are required by
the purchaser for an order of fittings, the fittings shall withstand, without leaks or
permanent distortion, hydrostatic test pressures not to exceed 1.5 times the rated
working water pressures.

Sec. 5.7 Defective Specimens and Retests

When any physical test specimen shows defective machining or lack of con-
tinuity of metal, it shall be discarded and replaced by another specimen cast in the
same sampling period as the specimen that failed.

Sec. 5.8 Rejection of Fittings

If the test results of any sound specimen fail to meet the applicable require-
ments of Sec. 5.4, or the chemical analyses do not conform to the limitations of
Sec. 5.5 where applicable, the fittings represented by these tests or analyses shall be
rejected, except as provided in Sec. 5.9.

Sec. 5.9 Determining Rejection

The manufacturer may limit the amount of rejection by making additional
acceptance tests until the rejected lot is bracketed, in order of manufacture, by an
acceptable test at each end of the interval in question.

SECTION 6: DELIVERY

The bolts and gaskets to be used with the flanged fittings are to be selected
by the purchaser with due consideration for the particular pressure service and
installation requirements.

SECTION A.1: BOLTS AND NUTS

Size, length, and number of bolts are shown in Table 15 of ANSI/AWWA

C110/A21.10. Bolts conform to ASME†/ANSI B18.2.1, Square and Hex Bolts and
Screws Inch Series Including Hex Cap Screws and Lag Screws, and nuts conform
to ASME/ANSI B18.2.2, Square and Hex Nuts. Bolts smaller than 3/ 4 in. (19 mm)
have either standard square or heavy hex heads and heavy hex nuts. Bolts 3/ 4 in.
(19 mm) and larger have either square or hex heads and either hex or heavy hex
nuts. Bolts and nuts are threaded in accordance with ASME/ANSI B1.1, Unified
Inch Screw Threads (UN and UNR Thread Form) class 2A external and class 2B
internal. Bolts and nuts are low-carbon steel and conform to the chemical and
mechanical requirements of ASTM‡ A307, Standard Specification for Carbon
Steel Bolts and Studs, 60,000 PSI Tensile Strength, grade B. The carbon-steel bolts
should be used where gray-iron flanges are installed with flat ring gaskets that
extend only to the bolts. Higher-strength bolts may properly be used where gray-
iron flanges are installed with full-face gaskets. Higher-strength bolts may be used
where ductile flanges are installed with either ring or full-face gaskets.

SECTION A.2: GASKETS

Gaskets are synthetic rubber, either ring or full-face, and are 1/ 8 in. (3.2 mm)
thick, unless otherwise specified by the purchaser, conforming to the dimensions

shown in Table A.1, Flange gasket details. Note: When considering the use of gas-
kets thinner than 1/ 8 in. (3.2 mm) and/or gaskets of material other than synthetic
rubber, the purchaser should contact the fitting manufacturer. Also available for
most sizes are specially designed gaskets, either ring or full-face, using one or more
annular rings molded into the gasket to improve the gasket performance.

SECTION A.3: INSTALLATION

The design, assembly, and installation of the flanged piping system are the
responsibility of the purchaser. The following suggestions are for general guidance:
a. The underground use of flanged joints is generally not desirable because
of the rigidity of the joint.

--``,,,,,,,``,,`,``,`,`,``,,,`,,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

Copyright American Water Works Association

b. Flange faces should bear uniformly on the gasket and the bolts tight-
ened in progressive crisscross order, such as by tightening the bottom bolt first;
then, the top bolt; next, the bolts at either side; and, finally, the remaining bolts.
This process should be repeated until all bolts are sufficiently tight to prevent leak-
age at the joint.
c. Users of flanged fittings should be careful to prevent bending or tor-

©
sional strains from being applied to flanges, flanged fittings, or flanged appurte-
nances. Piping systems must be designed so that piping connected to flanges or
flanged fittings is properly anchored, supported, or restrained to prevent breakage
of fittings and flanges.
d. Ring gaskets are recommended for 14-in. (350-mm) and larger sizes
if flat gaskets are used.

NOTE: The joining of cast-iron pipe of the same nominal size but with different outside
diameters can be accomplished with a special dual- or combination-purpose, modified
mechanical-joint sleeve. This special sleeve, available from some manufacturers in 4–12-in.
(102- to 305-mm) nominal size, is designed for use with pipe having either A or CD outside
