Keywords11.1 central vacuum; fittings; PVC; tubeAPPENDIXES(Nonmandatory Information)X1. STORAGEX1.1 Outside StoragePlastic tube sh

34、ould be stored on aflat surface or supported in a manner that will prevent saggingor bending. Do not store tube in direct sunlight for longperiods. To prevent damage, fittings should not be stored wherethe temperature exceeds 100F (38C).X1.2 Inventories of plastic tube should be used on a first-in,f

35、irst-out basis.X2. JOINTS AND CONNECTIONSX2.1 PVC tubing and fittings shall be joined by the solvent-cement method.X2.2 When connecting to metal tubing systems, metaltubing and fitting shall be joined in accordance with AppendixX4.X3. SOLVENT CEMENT JOINTSX3.1 Tube CuttingCut the tube square with th

36、e axis, usinga fine-tooth handsaw and a miter box. A rotary cutter may beused if the cutting blades are specifically designed for cuttingplastic tube in such a way as not to raise a burr or ridge (flare)at the cut end (see Fig. X3.1). Remove all burrs with adeburring tool, knife, file, or abrasive p

37、aper.X3.2 Dry Fit TestThe solvent cement joint is designed sothat there will generally be interference of the tube wall withthe fitting socket before the tube is fully inserted. Insert thetube into the fitting and check that the interference occurs about13 to23 of the socket depth (see Fig. X3.2).FI

X3.2 Tube Entering Dry FittingF2158 08 (2016)4X3.3 CleaningSurfaces to be joined must be cleaned andbe free of dirt, moisture, oil, and other foreign material. If thiscannot be accomplished by wiping with a clean, dry cloth, achemical or mechanical cleaner must

39、 be used. If a chemicalcleaner is used, apply with an applicator. (WarningSkincontact with chemical cleaners should be avoided.)X3.4 Application ProcedureX3.4.1 Handling CementKeep the cement can closed andin a shady place when not actually in use. Discard the cementwhen an appreciable change in vis

40、cosity takes place or at thefirst sign of gelation. The cement should not be thinned. Keepthe applicator immersed in cement between applications.X3.4.2 Application of CementPVC solvent cement is fastdrying, and, therefore, the cement shall be applied as quickly aspossible, consistent with good workm

41、anship (see Fig. X3.3).The surface temperature of the mating surfaces should notexceed 110F (43C) at the time of assembly.X3.4.3 Apply cement lightly but uniformly to the outside ofthe tubing, taking care to keep the use of cement to a minimum.(WarningApplication of cement to fitting socket is notre

42、commended and can cause drippings or an excess amount ofcement to be pushed to the inside diameter of the connectionthat can possibly snag debris and eventually create a clog.)X3.4.4 Low-Temperature ApplicationsAt temperaturesbelow freezing, 32F (0C), solvents penetrate and soften thePVC surfaces mo

43、re slowly than in warmer weather. For thisreason, it is recommended that testing be done on a piece ofscrap tube to determine if satisfactory penetration of thesurfaces can be achieved.X3.4.5 Assembly of JointImmediately after applying acoat of cement to the tube, forcibly insert the tube into theso

44、cket. To distribute the cement evenly, turn the tube or fittinga14 turn during the process (see Fig. X3.4).X3.4.6 Assembly should be completed within 20 s after theapplication of cement. (WarningUntil the cement is set inthe joint, the tube may back out of the fitting socket, if not heldin place for

45、 approximately 1 min after assembly. Care shouldbe taken during assembly not to disturb or apply any force tothe joints previously made, as early rough handling can destroyfresh joints.)X3.4.7 See Practice F402, “Practice for Safe Handling ofSolvent Cements, Primers and Cleaners Used for JoiningTher

METHODS OF JOINING METAL TUBING AND FITTINGSX4.1 Tube CuttingCut the tube square with the axis, singa metal cutting blade in cutting blade in chop saw or band saw.Arotary cutter may be used if

47、the cutting blades are specificallydesigned for cutting metal tube in such a way as not to raise aburr or ridge (flare) at the cut end. Remove all burrs with adeburring tool, file, or abrasive paper.X4.2 CleaningSurfaces to be joined must be cleaned andfree of dirt, moisture, oil, and other foreign

48、material. If thiscannot be accomplished by wiping with a clean, dry cloth, achemical or mechanical cleaner must be used. If a chemicalcleaner is used, apply with applicator. (WarningSkin contactwith chemical cleaners should be avoided.)X4.3 Assembly of JointThere are three popular and rec-ommended m

49、ethods of joining metal tubing and fittings for usein low vacuum and pressure systems under 16 psig (Adhesive,Compression Couplings and Shrink Sleeves). All of thesemethods provide secure connections eliminating the need forwelding or brazing.X4.3.1 AdhesiveThe best proven adhesive to bond metaltubing and fittings together is industrial contact cement. Forbest results, apply coatings of equal thickness on each cleansurface to be joined. Do not join immediately. When bothsurfaces are tacky to the touch, insert the tubing fu
