4.1 Scope
This section covers products used as coagulants, flocculants, and filtration aids in treating drinking water.
Products include individual treatment chemicals, blends of treatment chemicals, and dilutions of these
products. Uses include removal of suspended solids, color, dissolved components, and sludge dewatering
(where recycle flows exist).
4.1.1 The requirements in this section apply to pipes and pipe-related products and the water-contact
materials associated with these products. Pipe-related products include, but are not limited to, the following
items: fittings, couplings, mini-manifolds, flexible and rigid tubing, riser tubing, dip tubes, hoses, well
casings, drop pipes and well screens.
4.1.2 Coatings and other barrier materials requested to be evaluated on their own that are intended for
application to pipes or pipe-related products shall be evaluated under 5.
NOTE – Coatings and other barrier materials, which meet the requirements of 5 at a specific surface area-to-
