MSS STANDARD PRACTICE SP-116ii FOREWORD In the mid 1990s, the Manufacturers Standardization Society was requested to develop a Standard Practice for line valves and assigned this as a pr
15、oject to the MSS Committee 112, Water Works Valves and Fittings. Many of the significant components of service-lines for drinking water systems have not been specifically covered by standards. The MSS Committee 112 decided to fill this need in the water works industry by creating this Standard Pract
16、ice, which has a broader scope than previous drinking water service line standards. However, the tubing, pipe, water main, water meter, and machines associated with drinking water service-lines are not covered by this Standard Practice. The 2003 version was substantially revised from the original 19
17、96 version. The 2011 version was substantially updated and revised from the 2003 version; including an update of Sections 2, 4, 9, multiple Tables, and Annex A. This 2014 version includes minor editing of the text, formatting adjustments, the addition of several new definitions in Section 2, approve
18、d revisions to Sections 1, 5, 6, and 9, errata corrections in Table 10 through 13, the movement of the optional field testing instructions in Section 6 from the body of the Standard Practice to the Appendix, and updating of references in Annex A.

24、 Practice covering most of the significant valves and fittings used in drinking water service-line systems including both buried and non-buried valves, fittings, meter setters, and service saddle clamps. 1. SCOPE 1.1 This Standard Practice covers valves and fittings in sizes NPS 1/2 through NPS 2, f
25、or use in drinking water system service-lines between the main and the meter. Included are: a) Buried valves and fittings that are designed to be in direct contact with the soil (corporation valves, service saddle clamps, and curb valves). b) Non-buried valves and fittings that are designed for inst
26、allation within an enclosure such as a meter box or building structure (meter valves, check valves, meter fittings, and meter setters). c) Fittings include various types of couplings and adapters. Not Included: a) Reduced pressure backflow preventers. 1.2 This Standard Practice establishes the minim
27、um requirements that a drinking water service-line valve or fitting must possess at the time of manufacture. Details of design and manufacture, other than those stated in this standard, including such design and production tests to ensure that each valve or fitting will have these capabilities, rema
28、in the responsibility of the manufacturer. 2. DEFINITIONS 2.1 Under this Standard Practice the following definitions shall apply: 2.1.1 Angle Design Meter Valve A meter valve in which the inlet and outlet are at right angles (i.e., 90) to one another. 2.1.2 Adapter Facilitates the connection of an i
29、tem to a size or type of tubing, pipe, or fitting, which is different from that to which the item was designed to be connected. 2.1.3 Body The principal pressure containing shell of a valve or fitting which has ends adapted for connection to tubing or piping. 2.1.4 Clamp See “Service Saddle Clamp”.
30、2.1.5 Check Valve A unidirectional valve which is opened by the fluid flow in one direction and which closes automatically to prevent flow in the reverse direction. 2.1.6 Compression Fitting A fitting for tube or pipe which seals and grips by radial deformation of circumferential sealing elements. 2
31、.1.7 Corporation Valve Buried valve which connects to a water main or service saddle to prevent water flow while installing or maintaining service-line components. 2.1.8 Coupling A fitting used to make a linear connection between two lengths of tubing or piping. 2.1.9 Curb Box A vertical sleeve exte
32、nding downward from the street or sidewalk level which provides above-ground access to a buried valve, meter, or other appurtenance. 2.1.10 Curb Valve Water service-line valve located partway between the main and meter, generally buried near the curb of the street and usually with a curb box install
33、ed over it for convenient operation from above ground. 2.1.11 Driving Thread Thread in an outlet end of a corporation stop to attach the valve to a tapping machine adapter during the valve installation. 2.1.12 Fitting Connector or closure used with piping or piping components to form fluid lines and
34、 passages with a desired system configuration. 2.1.13 Flange An annular collar designed to permit a bolted connection with similar collars. SERVICE-LINE VALVES AND FITTINGS FOR DRINKING WATER SYSTEMS MSS STANDARD PRACTICE SP-1162 2.1.14 Flanged Ends Refers to a type of connection on a valve or fitti
35、ng, used for joining to other components with mating flanges. 2.1.15 Half-Turn Valve A valve whose closure member rotates approximately 180 to move from full open to full closed position. 2.1.16 Inlet End of valve or fitting through which flow enters. 2.1.17 Manufacturer The party producing the valv
36、es, fittings, tubing, and pipe utilized in the water system, in accordance with this Standard Practice. 2.1.18 Meter Box An enclosure for water meters, meter valves, check valves, meter fittings, meter setters, and associated piping designed for direct burial in the soil. 2.1.19 Meter Setter A confi
37、guration of tubing, valves, and fittings that provide for the retention of a water meter. Tail pieces are not included. 2.1.20 Meter Swivel Nut The free spinning nut on the meter connecting ends of some meter valves and meter fittings, which has an inside thread that engages that outside thread on t
38、he end of the meter. 2.1.21 Meter Valve A valve installed at the meter in a water service-line, and accessible for routinely interrupting the flow through the meter line and as a convenient shut-off for meter servicing. 2.1.22 Meter Yoke A service-line device which serves as a receptacle to hold the
39、 meter in its place. 2.1.23 Multi-Turn Valve A multi-turn valve is any valve that is operated ( fully opened to fully closed) by turning or rotating its stem multiple times. 2.1.24 NPS Indicates “Nominal Pipe Size” (U.S. customary). A standard size identification number, not necessarily an actual di
40、mension. The European designation equivalent to NPS is called DN (diametre nominal/diameter nominal) in which sizes are based on (SI) metric units. Guidelines for (SI) metric data may be found in MSS SP-86. 2.1.25 NPT Abbreviation for “National Pipe Thread” (U.S. customary) standard, as per ASME B1.
41、20.1. 2.1.26 Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) See Section 2.1.24. 2.1.27 Outlet End of valve or fitting through which flow exits. 2.1.28 Packing Deformable material which provides a seal around a movable penetration through a pressure boundary. 2.1.29 Pipe Threads Threaded end connections used to join piping

43、1.32 Rated Pressure The maximum sustained operating pressure for which a valve or fitting is designed and manufactured for use. 2.1.33 Reduced Port Valve A valve equipped with a reduced flow passage through the closure member for a given end connect size. 2.1.34 Saddle See “Service Saddle Clamp”. 2.
44、1.35 Seal Wire or Security Seal Wire A locking wire, generally applied by the utility, which prevents operation of a valve without breaking the wire and thus providing evidence of tampering. 2.1.36 Service Saddle Clamp Fitting which provides a sealed connection between the inlet end of a corporation
45、 stop and the service outlet hole in a main pipe (also known as a service saddle, or service clamp, or saddle, or clamp, or saddle clamp). 2.1.37 Starting Thread Chamfer Bevel at the starting end of a thread, usually to make the thread easier to start turning into a mating thread. 2.1.38 Stem A valv
46、e component to which motion is imparted outside the valve assembly to move the closure member inside the valve.
