In 1971 a group of responsible PVC pipe producers had the foresight to
recognize that the exceptional qualities of performance and value would eventually make gasketed-joint PVC pipe the product of choice for buried water, sewer,drainage and irrigation piping. To properly service the future design and technical information needs associated with such a large scale and growing industry, these leaders combined their resources to create a non-profit technical, educational and research-oriented organization known today as the Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association.
Since it was organized, Uni-Bell has served the engineering, regulatory,
public health and standardization communities with integrity and considerable measures of both time and resources. Whenever questions or problems have arisen relative to PVC pipe performance, Uni-Bell members, through their Association, have responded. Uni-Bell sponsored research in the areas of buried pipe deflection, durability, ultraviolet aging, direct tapping and cyclic surge performance has provided pipe designers and installers with much needed practical information.
Today Uni-Bell is working for all PVC pipe users and potential pipe users,
helping to assure proper product application and performance through research and education. Uni-Bell's highly qualified professional staff work to provide users with the information they need concerning gasketed-joint PVC pipe. In addition, Uni-Bell continues to develop useful technical publications and recommended standards recognized around the world.
The Uni-Bell Handbook of PVC Pipe: Design and Construction is the
Association's preeminent publication. It has been prepared with the objective of being the most comprehensive reference text on PVC pipe and fittings. This handbook provides practical engineering and construction information together with recommendations applicable to the design and use of primarily underground PVC piping systems in both pressure and non-pressure applications.
Handbook users are invited to contact Uni-Bell's staff of qualified engineers for additional technical support or to clarify information contained within the book.
Technical services are available on request through member companies or upon direct request to Uni-Bell. A directory of the current membership of the Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association is available by contacting Uni-Bell.
