This Standard provides requirements for 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°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
