This specification covers metal insert fittings with split ring and compression nut (compression joint) and metal insert fittings with copper crimp rings (crimp joint) for four sizes of composite pressure pipe. These fittings are intended for use in cold- and hot-water distribution systems operating at a certain temperature range. These fittings are intended for use in potable water distribution systems for residential and commercial applications, water service, underground irrigation systems, and radient panel heating systems, baseboard, snow- and ice-melt systems, and gases that are compatible with the composite pipe and fittings. The fittings are classified into two classes with split ring and compression nut and fittings with a copper crimp ring, suitable for use with four sizes of PEX/AL/PEX or PE/AL/PE pipe. The fittings shall be made from one of the following metals: wrought copper, cast copper alloy, machined brass, and forged brass. Different tests shall be conducted in order to determine the following properties: hydrostatic burst, hydrostatic sustained pressure strength, thermocycling, and excessive temperature and pressure capability. The sealing surfaces of the insert shall be smooth and free of foreign material. The fitting walls shall be free of cracks, holes, blisters, voids, foreign inclusions or other defects that are visible to the naked eye and that affect the wall integrity.
This standard is referenced in the 2012 International Mechanical Code®, International Plumbing Code®, and International Residential Code®.
