This Uni-Bell Specification is "Recommended Low-Pressure Air Testing of Installed Sewer Pipe." Low-pressure-air testing is often preferred over infiltration or exfiltration testing for verifying the integrity of a newly installed sewer. UNI-B-6 provides Uni-Bell's recommendations for performing this test.

Uni-Bell's Specification, "Recommended Standard Specification for Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Fabricated Pressure Fittings," covers fabricated fittings for pressure applications made from AWWA CIOD pipe
