Standard Specification for Cast Iron Closet Flanges for Use with Cast Iron Soil Pipe and Fittings in Gravity Flow Plumbing Drain, Waste, and Vent Sanitary Applications
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers cast iron soil closet flanges for use in gravity flow plumbing drain, waste, and vent sanitary applications. It establishes standards covering material, manufacture, mechanical and chemical properties, coating, test methods, inspection, certification, product markings, dimensions, and dimensional tolerances for closet flanges. These closet flanges are not intended for pressure applications, as the selection of the proper size for sanitary drain, waste, vent, and storm drain systems allows free air space for gravity drainage
1.2 The EDP/ASA numbers indicated in this section represent a Uniform Industry Code adopted by the American Supply Association (ASA). A group designation prefix, 022, is assigned to hubless products followed by the four-digit identification assigned to individual items and a check digit. This system has been instituted to facilitate EDP control through distribution channels, and is to be used universally in ordering and specifying product items. Those items with no EDP numbers are either new, special, or transitory and will be assigned numbers on subsequent prints of this specification.
1.3 This specification covers closet flanges of the following patterns (7.1.1) and, when so designated, shall apply to any other patterns that conform with the applicable requirements given in this specification.
1.4 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.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Overview
ASTM A1111-22 sets the standard specification for cast iron closet flanges designed for use with cast iron soil pipe and fittings in gravity flow plumbing systems for drain, waste, and vent (DWV) sanitary applications. Published by ASTM International, this standard defines essential requirements for materials, mechanical and chemical properties, manufacturing, coatings, test methods, inspection, product markings, and dimensions. The standard does not apply to pressure applications, ensuring suitability only for gravity drainage systems where free air space is necessary.
Closet flanges under this specification ensure a reliable, standardized connection between water closets and the plumbing system, supporting proper sanitary drainage and venting performance in both residential and commercial buildings.
Key Topics
- Material Requirements: Covers cast iron suitable for DWV systems, including gray iron and ductile iron conforming to specific chemical and mechanical properties.
- Manufacturing Controls: Establishes procedures for material screening, including radioactive material prevention, and prohibits defect correction by patching, filling, or welding.
- Mechanical and Chemical Properties:
- Minimum tensile strength and detailed chemical composition limits
- Batch testing and seven-year record retention requirements
- Coating Standards:
- Specifies uniform, adherent coatings free from hazardous contamination (e.g., lead, high VOHAPs)
- Calls for regular certification and documentation of coating compliance
- Dimensional Requirements: Provides dimensional tolerances, pattern details, and compatibility with hubless and other fitting types
- Inspection and Certification: Mandates regular inspection intervals, third-party certification protocols, product identification by legible casting, and thorough documentation
- Product Marking and Packaging: Requires clear origin and manufacturer identification, with shipment packaging to meet federal and military standards
Applications
ASTM A1111-22 is critical in the following contexts:
- Plumbing Construction and Renovation: Ensures compatibility and reliability of closet flanges for wastewater removal in gravity flow plumbing systems of residential, commercial, and institutional buildings.
- Code Compliance: Meets local, state, and international regulatory requirements for DWV systems, supporting building code inspections and approvals.
- Supply Chain and Ordering: Utilizes the ASA uniform EDP numbering system, facilitating efficient, standardized ordering throughout distribution channels.
- Third-party Quality Assurance: Used by certifiers and inspectors to verify adherence to test, inspection, and marking requirements as outlined by the standard.
- Sanitary Applications: Ideal for new installations and repairs of toilets in sanitary drain, waste, vent, and storm drain systems, specifically those not subject to pressure flow.
