Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This spec

3、ification covers fittings, appurtenances andvalves which are to be used with pipe and tubing complyingwith Specifications D 1785, D 2241, D 2846, F 441 or F 442,or other piping as specified by the fittings manufacturer. Theseproducts, such as unions, flanges or valves, are not included inthe scope o

4、f existing ASTM specifications. This specificationincludes minimum requirements for testing, materials, dimen-sions, workmanship, marking, and in-plant quality control.1.2 Fittings or appurtenances covered by this specificationare generally either molded, fabricated, or assembled frommolded or machi

5、ned components. The materials used incomponents include rigid thermoplastics, thermoplastic elas-tomers, elastomerics, and metals. The body or main portion ofthe fitting, appurtenance or valve is typically PVC, CPVC, PEor PA (nylon). All products covered by this standard areintended to be used in PV

6、C or CPVC plastic piping systems, oras a transition from these to metal systems.1.3 The application of these products to gas service isbeyond the scope of this specification.1.4 The products covered by this specification are intendedfor use with the distribution of pressurized liquids only, whichare

7、 chemically compatible with the piping materials. Due toinherent hazards associated with testing components and sys-tems with compressed air or other compressed gases somemanufacturers do not allow pneumatic testing of their products.Consult with specific product/component manufacturers fortheir spe

8、cific testing procedures prior to pneumatic testing.NOTE 1Warning: Pressurized (compressed) air or other compressedgases contain large amounts of stored energy which present serious safetywhich present serious safety hazards should a system fail for any reason.1.5 Fittings which rely on heat fusion

9、welding for connec-tion to the piping system are outside the scope of thisspecification.1.6 Check valves (including foot valves) covered by thisspecification shall not be considered backflow preventiondevices and shall not be used for the protection of a potablewater supply. For definitions and requ

10、irements of backflowprevention devices, consult model plumbing codes andASSE.21.7 Due to the complex and installation-specific concernssurrounding chemical resistance and corrosion, this specifica-tion does not address the compatibility of the products with allpossible end-use environments. Addition

11、al testing specific tothe end-use environment is recommended if the system isconveying liquids other than potable water.1.8 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The SI units given in parentheses are given forinformation only.1.9 The following safety caveat applies

12、 only to the testmethods and in-plant quality control portions, section of thisspecification: This standard does not purport to address all ofthe safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practic
