What is AGM Clean Out 2″ ?
description / intended use
-
What it is: Un plasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) pipe and fittings manufactured to Schedule-40 dimensions. Used both as a pressure pipe system for cold water supply and as non-pressure DWV/sewerage lines (depending on product variant and joint type).
-
AGM origin note: AGM (Arabian Gulf Manufacturers / AGM Piping Systems) markets ASTM Schedule-40 uPVC pipes and fittings manufactured in Saudi Arabia; their catalogs list Sch-40 pressure fittings and Sch-40 pipes for water/sewer applications.
2) Typical material & standards
-
Material: Rigid PVC (uPVC / PVC-U) formulated for pressure plumbing and drainage.
-
Common standards referenced:
-
ASTM D1785 — Schedule 40 pressure PVC pipes (water supply).
-
ASTM D2466 / D2665 — molded/solvent-weld fittings and DWV fittings (various fittings).
-
Regional/project standards (SASO, BS EN 1401 etc.) often used for drainage/sewer systems — check project spec which standard is required.
-
3) Sizes, colors, pressure ratings (typical)
-
Nominal sizes: commonly ½” through 24″ for Sch-40 (practical supply sizes for building services usually ½”–8″).
-
Colors: gray (common for pressure and industrial), white (plumbing) and orange/others for underground drainage in some suppliers.
-
Pressure rating: varies by nominal size and class. Example: some AGM Sch-40 pressure pipes are quoted as up to ~15 Bar (for small sizes / 1″ class) — always check the specific size/PN table from the manufacturer. Larger diameters have lower pressure ratings.
4) Connections / jointing methods
-
Pressure water piping (Sch-40): usually solvent-cement (glue) socket joints or threaded/socket for threaded fittings. Follow solvent cement type and priming per ASTM / manufacturer.
-
Sewerage / DWV lines: usually socket + solvent weld or rubber ring / elastomeric gasket joints (for underground sewer where deflection/settlement is a concern). Some Sch-40 DWV products are supplied with integrated sockets for solvent welding.
5) Typical installation steps (practical, contractor-level)
Use the manufacturer’s instructions first; below is a standard condensed procedure.
A. Handling & storage
-
Store off the ground on timber supports, away from direct sun/UV when possible; protect pipe ends. uPVC becomes brittle with prolonged UV exposure.
B. Preparation
-
Cut squarely, de-burr, chamfer OD per manufacturer. Clean sockets and spigots of dirt and moisture. Use recommended primer where required.
C. Solvent welding (pressure & DWV sockets)
-
Apply primer (if required) to spigot and socket.
-
Apply recommended PVC solvent cement evenly; push spigot fully into socket with a quarter-turn; hold until set per cement cure time.
-
Allow full cure before pressure testing — follow cement manufacturer cure schedule and ambient temperature adjustments.
D. Rubber ring / gasket joints (sewer/underground)
-
Ensure gasket seating is clean, lubricated with recommended lubricant, align pipe, push to full depth (use stop marks). Check deflection limits at bends/joints per manufacturer.
E. Bedding & backfill (buried sewer/pressure)
-
Provide uniform granular bedding; avoid point loads; follow local code for trench width and cover depth. For pressure mains, advise minimum cover and protective measures against traffic loads. (Refer to project/country code for exact depths.)
F. Pressure testing
-
For potable water mains: hydrostatic test at specified test pressure (typically 1.5× working pressure or as project spec) for a specified duration. Depressurize and inspect all joints. Follow ASTM/project requirements.
6) Usage notes & limitations
-
Temperature: uPVC is for cold water and ambient sewerage; do not use for hot water (use CPVC/PPR for hot applications). Typical max continuous temperature ~60–65 °C (varies by formulation).
-
Potable water: to use for drinking water, verify NSF/ANSI 61 (or local potable certification) on the specific product batch. AGM catalogs indicate conformity options — always request certificates.
-
Chemical resistance: generally good for domestic sewage and many chemicals — check manufacturer chemical resistance table for aggressive fluids.
7) What to request from supplier (checklist before purchase)
-
Manufacturer data sheet / catalog for the exact nominal size & Sch-40 product.
-
Standards & certifications: ASTM D1785 (pipe), ASTM D2466/D2665 (fittings), NSF/ANSI (if potable), SASO or project required standards.
-
Pressure rating / PN table by size (manufacturer pressure/temperature derating chart).
-
Jointing instructions & recommended solvent cement / primer (brand and cure times).
-
Certificates of Origin and batch test reports if needed for import/QA. AGM items often list Saudi Arabia origin in trade catalogs — ask for CO and test reports.
8) Quick AGM-specific pointers (based on AGM catalogs / trade listings)
-
AGM markets ASTM Sch-40 uPVC pipes & fittings (sockets, unions, male adapters etc.) manufactured in Saudi Arabia; they publish catalogs with part numbers and pack quantities — useful when ordering fittings like unions, wyes, adapters. Verify part numbers against the catalog.
Want me to do one of these next?
-
I can extract a size → pressure table and typical wall thicknesses for the exact nominal sizes you need (e.g. 1/2″, 3/4″, 1″, 1-1/4″, 2″, 3″ …) from AGM’s catalog and produce a printable spec sheet with part numbers and typical joint methods — tell me which sizes or a PDF/catalog you want summarized and I’ll pull it into a neat table.
If you want that spec table now, tell me which nominal sizes you need and I’ll produce it (I can pull directly from AGM catalog pages).
