The presence of the NSF designation on pipe means it was tested for compliance with one or more voluntary national standards. Common designations include NSF-pw and NSF-61, both of which mean the pipe is intended for potable water applications. Pipe displaying NSF-dwv should only be used for drain, waste or vent applications.
