This Standard covers polybutylene (PB) pipe, tubing, and fittings. Nominal
pipe sizes (NPS) covered are from NPS-1/4 through NPS-2. Fittings covered include insert-type fittings, socket fusion fittings,
plastic-to-metal transition fittings, and compression-type fittings. These pipes, tubing, and fittings are intended for use in pressure applications
such as hot and cold potable and nonpotable water distribution systems. Pipe,
tubing, and fittings are intended for use in 690 kPa (100 psi) systems
operating at temperatures up to and including 82 degrees C. Note: Use of this tubing in other applications such as sprinkler systems and
slab heating systems is acceptable provided they comply with the applicable
Code requirements. Refer to the manufacturer's recommendations and Appendix b
of this Standard. 1.2
