ASTM F1865-02e1

Standard Specification for Mechanical Cold Expansion Insert Fitting With Compression Sleeve for Cross-linked Polyethylene (PEX) Tubing

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers mechanical cold expansion insert fittings with compression sleeve suitable for use with cross-linked polyethulene PEX plastic tubing in 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, 1in. and larger nominal diameters that meet the requirements of Specifications F 876 and F 877. These fittings are intended for use in 100 psi (689.5 kPa) cold and hot water distributions systems operating at temperatures up to and including 180° F (82°C). Included are the requirements for materials, workmanship, dimensions, and markings to be used on the fittings and compression sleeves
1.2 The values stated in inch-pounds units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units which are provided for provided for information only and are not considered the standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
