Includedare the requirements for materials, workmanship, burst pres-sure, susta
5、ined pressure, excessive temperature and pressure,temperature cycling tests, and markings to be used on thefittings and rings. The fittings covered by this specification areintended for use in potable water distribution systems forresidential and commercial applications, water service, under-ground
6、irrigation systems, and radient panel heating systems,baseboard, snow- and ice-melt systems, and gases that arecompatible with the composite pipe and fittings.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The SI values stated in parentheses areprovided for information
7、purposes.NOTE 1The tables show the “nominal size” in millimetres with theinch size in parentheses. This exception is made to harmonize the“nominal size” with the two pipe standards, F 1281 and F 1281.1.3 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest method portion, Section 9, of this s
8、pecification. Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any, associated with its use.

36、ed shall be in accordance with Table5.8.1.2.1 Crimping ProcedureTo affix the insert fitting tothe pipe with the crimp ring, the crimping procedure shall be asfollows: slide the crimp ring onto the pipe, insert the ribbed endof the fitting into the end of the pipe until the pipe contacts theshoulder
37、of the fitting or pipe stop. The crimp ring shall then bepositioned on the pipe so the edge of the crimp ring is18 to14in. (3.2 to 6.4 mm) from the end of the pipe.
