ASTM D 3309—96a (2002) Specification for Polybutylene (PB) Plastic Hot- and Code-water Distribution System (PDF Download)
The PDF/Redline Download option contains PDF files of both the I-Code and a Redline version of the I-Code which shows changes from the previous edition marked in the color red. With the Redline you can see what has been changed from the previous edition. This option is a searchable PDF download that requires a PDF Reader. It is mobile compatible with mobile tablets and smart phones that support the PDF format. The PDF Download is licensed per individual, who may place the file on up to four electronic devices for their personal use. Distribution of the PDF is not permitted. For a volume license the PDF is licensed to the person to which it is assigned. Use on a local area network or other network is not permitted.
This specification covers requirements, test methods, and methods of marking for polybutylene plastic system components. These components comprise pipe and tubing, socket-fusion fittings, compression fittings, mechanical fittings, and plastic-to-metal transition fittings. The components covered by this specification are intended for use in hot- and cold-water potable water service and distribution systems and such non-potable water applications. The components are classified as follows: pipe, tubing, and socket-fusion fittings; plastic-to-metal transition fittings; and compression and mechanical plastic fittings. The following tests shall be performed: sustained hydrostatic pressure; thermocycling; hydrostatic burst strength; assembly; excessive temperature and pressure capability of tubing and pipe; and elongation value at break.
This standard is referenced in the 2012 International Mechanical Code® and the International Residential Code®.
