	I can't quite found out what these specifications mean: (01) 101,372 m PVC water pipes JECE (63 mm x 3.6 mm)/10 including rubber ring (07) 5,656 m PVC sewage pipes JSCE 50 mm (11) 9,702 m PVC sewage pipes JECE (250 mm x 4.9 mm) including rubber ring The numbers mean, for example: "nine thousand seven hundred and two meters" of pvc pipes suitable for sewage water, diameter 250 mm and thickness 4.9 mm PVC = Polyvinyl chloride not laminated JE = ELASTIC JOINT JS = SOCKET WELD JOINT C = PLUG (or head) E = SPIGOT (or cord) (D x e) S20 and S25 D = Outside nominal diameter e = Wall thickness S = Series My doubt comes to what the plug, the spigot, the elastic joint and the other stuff actually are. Have you got a manufacturer's manual that explains these things? An advice on a good manufacturer of PVC pipes would come handy too. I have translated the specs from Spanish, so there might be errors as I am not familiar with piping. __________________ I am happy.

	The elastic joint usually refers to a mechanically restrained joint with a gasket or o-ring seal. The Socket weld joint refers to a male to female joint, electrically or solvent welded together. This is occasionally referred to as a bell and spigot joint although that usually connotes a gasket or o-ring connection inside the joint. A plug is usually a welded or glued male fitting that caps a run. The spigot is the male half of a bell and spigot connection.

	Thank you very much. GA for you. Is the elastic joint purely mechanical, based on the tightness of the o-ring, or does it involve solvent welding? In many sites I have seen the bell-spigot joint as strictly mechanical but maybe I misunderstood it. __________________ I am happy.
