Scope

1.1 This specification establishes requirements for sulfone plastic insert fittings and copper crimp rings for four sizes
(3/8, ½, and ¾ and 1) of cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) plastic tubing an polyethylene of raised temperature (PE-RT) tubing. These fittings are intended for use in 100 psi (690 kPa) cold- and hot-water distribution systems operating at temperatures up to and including 180°F (82°C). Included are the requirements for material, molded part properties, performance, workmanship, dimensions, and markings to be used on the fittings and rings.

1.2 Units8212;The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
