Introduction.
Background.
Steel pipe has been used for waterlines in the United States
since the 1850s. With the development of the Bessemer process in 1855 and rhe openhearth process in 1861, steel, the strongest and most versatile refinement of iron, became available for water pipe. Available records disclose installations of steel water pipe as early as 1858. The pipe was first manufactured by rolling steel sheers or plates into shape and riveting the seams. This method of fabrication continued with improvements into the 1930s. In 1905, lock-bar pipe was introduced and, by 1930, had nearly supplanted riveted pipe. By the early 1930s, both riveted and lock-bar methods were gradually phased out and welding dominated the pipe-making process. As welding became more universal in pipeline construction and manufacturing, varying steel shapes able to accommodate pipeline hydraulics and locations became more prevalent. Over the years, rigid speci-

fications have been developed and new product developments and improvements in manufacturing techniques and processes have been established ro ensure the purchaser a product of high standards. I.B.
History.
This standard was first proposed in 1955 to provide standard
dimensions for steel water pipe fittings. It was approved as a "tentative" standard on July 14, 1955. Revisions in the text were approved on Dec. 31, 1957, and were incorporated in the fourth and later primings. The revisions consisted of the addition of an explanatory paragraph, changes in the table for fittings for service in transmission and distribution mains, and clarification of the figures detailing the various fittings. The standard was approved without further revision on Jan. 26, 1959. Revisions to the text were approved on June 21, 1983, and incorporated in the sixth and later primings. These revisions include the following: 1.
Addition of a foreword to provide the history of a standard and major
revisions. 2.
Revision ofTable 1, delering 4-in. pipe size and extending pipe sizes to 144 in.
3.
Revision ofTable 2.
4.
Expansion of Figure 3 to include sizes to 144 in.

6.
Deletion of alternate Table 3.
7.
Deletion ofTable 5.
8.
Addition of reducing tees and deletion of smooth 90° elbow category from
(
Figure 1 and Table 1. The information in Table 1 was changed from a tabular format to a formula format in order to ascertain dimensions for tees, crosses, wyes, laterals, and reducers. A factor, f, was introduced in the new Table 1 to facilitate the use of formulas for computing
fitting dimensions and provided formulas for elbow layout to facilitate the design of elbows not tabulated. Addendum C208-84 was approved on June 4, 1984. The addendum added a note of caution to Tables 2A through 2D concerning hoop tension concentration in elbows with a radius of less than 2.5D. ANSIIAWWA C208-83, including ANSIIAWWA C208-84, was reaffirmed without revision on June 18, 1989. ANSIIAWWA C208-96 was approved by the Board of Directors on June 23, 1996. The major revision was to clarify that the standard is a dimensional guide only and that design of fittings should be in accordance with applicable sections of AWWA Manual Mll. Table 2 was deleted from the standard. ANSIIAWWA C208-0l was approved on June 17, 2001. ANSI/ AWWA C208-07 was approved on June 24, 2007. This edition of ANSIIAWWA C208 was approved on June 10, 2012.

using the formulas below. (Refer to Figure lE for a wye with a 90° included angle.) Other included angles from less than 90° to 30° may be used. When a wye with an included angle less chan 30° is desired, a combination wye with elbow fitting resulting in rhe desired angle can be used. A wye configuration such as this would be similar on each side to the lateral outlet with elbow combination shown in Figure 4. Various combinations of wye included angles and elbow !::. angles may be used ro yield the desired deflection of less than 30°. Where!::. = the included angle of the fitting as defined in Figure IE:

The minimum length of a tangential outlet, Lt.
is calculated by the formulas below. (Refer to Figure 3.) Lt should be kept as shorr as possible to avoid damage during shipping and handling but long enough to allow for flange clearance.

Miter-cut end. Welded lap joint.
A small deflection angle can be taken in a
welded lap joint using a miter-cur bell end, provided that the following are mainrained: bell and spigot diameter tolerances, joint formation dimensional requirements, and joint engagement dimensional requirements. To form a miter-cut bell, the pipe end is miter cut, and then the bell is expanded square with d1e face of the miter cut (see Figure 2B). The limit for the maximum miter-cur angle of a weld bell is a function of design requirements and manufacturing constraints and cannot be defined explicitly in this standard. Although historically a value of 5o has been a good practice limit, the actual value can be larger or smaller depending on specific design and manufacturing parameters. Ir is recommended that the designer consult manufacturers regarding the acwallimit for specific design requirements. 4.1.11.2
Welded butt joint.
A deflection angle can be taken in a welded
butt joint by miter-cutting one or both pipe ends, provided that the maximum radial offset (misalignment) at any point around the resultant joint does not exceed the maximum allowed by the governing purchaser's documents, standard, or code to which the joint will be welded (see Figure 2A). It may be impractical to miter cut both pipe ends, but both pipe ends shall be properly prepared for butt welding.

4.1.12 4.1.12.1
Elbows. Dimensions.
In specifying dimensions of an elbow, the designer
(
\
should consider the hydraulic characteristics, space requirements, manufacturing constraints, stress considerations, and cost-benefic ratio over the expected life of the pipeline. The optimum radius for a fabricated elbow based on these considerations is 2.5 pipe outside cylinder diameters. This radius is recommended as a standard for water transmission lines where space requirements permit. For an elbow in plant piping, where space is limited, a radius of less chan 2.5D0 may be used, provided stress intensification factors are used. If the radius is less than 2.5D0 , the thickness of the shell must be calculated using the method outlined in the AWWA Manual M11. 4.1.12.2
Wrought steel.
In small diameters (6 in. to 24 in. [150 mm co
600 mm]), steel butt-welding fittings in accordance with ASME B16.9 conforming to ASTM A234 are available in schedules and grades suitable for the waterworks service and are often an economical alternative to fabricated elbows. Larger fittings, up to 48 in. (1,200 mm), may be advantageous for appLications where space is limited and the smaller footprint of the wrought steel fitting would be more appropriate. (Steel burr-welding fittings are available in sizes less than 6 in. [150 mm]. For these smaller fittings, the application of dimensions for 6-in. [150-mm] fittings would be
(_)
conservative.) 4.1.12.3
Fabricated elbows.
The following guidelines for dimensioning
fabricated steel pipe elbows are recommended: Referring to Figures 2C, 2D, 2E, and 2F, 1. R is the recommended elbow radius. 2. Tis the tangent length of the elbow. 3. Sis the elbow inside segment length. MinimumS= 1.5 in. (38 mm) or
6t, whichever is greater. NoTE: This represents good practice to control welding stresses and dimen-
sional tolerances. 4. Recommended maximum deflection angle is 22S per miter weld. The maximum deflection angle should not exceed 30° per miter weld. 5. Lis the minimum recommended length of the elbow leg.
NoTE: Depending on the size of the radius, L may be less than T 6. Recommended two-, three-, four-, and five-piece elbows: For D. ~ 22S, use two-piece elbow; k* = 1. For 22S

for 67S < !1 s; 90°, use five-piece elbow; k* = 4. *NoTE: For any elbow configuration

7. ne is the diameter multiplier for calculating rhe radius of an elbow. Recommended ne for water mains is 2.5 . In instances where ne is less than 2.5, stress intensification factors need to be addressed as outlined in the AWWA Manual MIL Values of ne shall not be less rhan rhar which achieves the minimum S value noted above.
