3、orially updated in August 2013.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers fittings, appurtenances andvalves which are to be used with pipe and tubing complyingwith Specifications D1785, D2241, D2846/D2846M, F441/F441M or F442/F442M, or other piping as specified by thefittings manufacturer. These product
4、s, such as unions, flangesor valves, are not included in the scope of existing ASTMspecifications. This specification includes minimum require-ments for testing, materials, dimensions, workmanship,marking, and in-plant quality control.1.2 Fittings or appurtenances covered by this specificationare ge
5、nerally either molded, fabricated, or assembled frommolded or machined components. The materials used incomponents include rigid thermoplastics, thermoplasticelastomers, elastomerics, and metals. The body or main portionof the fitting, appurtenance or valve is typically PVC, CPVC,PE or PA (nylon). A
6、ll products covered by this standard areintended to be used in PVC 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 intendedfo
7、r use with the distribution of pressurized liquids only, whichare 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.C
8、onsult with specific product/component manufacturers fortheir specific 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 s
9、ystem fail for any reason.1.5 Fittings which rely on heat fusion 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
10、the protection of a potablewater supply. For definitions and requirements 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 compatibilit
11、y of the products with allpossible end-use environments. Additional 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
12、given forinformation only.1.9 The following safety caveat applies 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
13、this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
