Materials and Manufacture5.1 ClampsClamps shall be made from material meeting the requirements of Specification A240/A240M stainless steel UNSS304000.6. General Requirements6.1 The following sections

17、of Specification F877 constitute a part of this specification.6.1.1 Requirements,6.1.2 Test Methods, and6.1.3 Retest and Rejection.6.2 In addition, when a section with a title identical to that referenced in 6.1 above, appears in this specification, it containsadditional requirements that supplement

18、 those appearing in Specification F877.6.3 GeneralAll performance tests shall be performed on assemblies of fittings, clamps and PEX tubing. Clamps shall meetthe material and dimensional requirements of this specification. Metal insert fittings shall meet the material and dimensionalrequirements of

19、Specification F1807. Plastic insert fittings shall meet the material and dimensional requirements of SpecificationF2159. PEX tubing shall meet the requirements of Specification F876 or F877. Assembly of test specimens shall be in accordancewith 9.1.1. Each assembly shall contain at least two (2) joi

20、nts. Use separate sets of assemblies for each performance testrequirement.7. Dimensions7.1 Dimensions and TolerancesThe dimensions and tolerances of clamps shall be as shown in Figs.Figs. 1-4 14.and Table1 and Table 2.8. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance8.1 The surfaces of the clamps shall be smoo

Clamps shall be free of cracks, holes, corrosion,voids, foreign inclusions, or other defects that are visible to the unaided eye that have potential to affect the clamp integrity.8.1.1 The manufacturer shall verify that any residual manufacturing substances on clamps

22、 are compatible with PEX Systemcomponents such as PEX tube or insert fittings.9. Assembly9.1 Clamp JointsInsert fittings shall be joined to PEX tubing by deforming and locking a stainless steel clamp around the outercircumference of the tubing, forcing the tubing material into annular spaces formed

23、by the ribs on the fitting. Metal insert fittingsshall meet the material and dimensional requirements of Specification F1807. Plastic insert fittings shall meet the material anddimensional requirements of Specification F2159. PEX tubing shall meet the requirements of Specifications F876 or F877. Cla
