Dimensions of Plastic Pipe Fittings
This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2749; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
1. Scope
S = length of male thread, includes pilot,
1.1 These symbols specify terminology for the dimensions
T = length of female thread,
of pipe fittings made of plastic materials. It consists of a list of
includes pilot,
V = root diameter of barbs,
letter designations with definitions, followed by drawings of
W = cap height,
typical fittings, with the significant dimensions labeled in
XA = male end of spigot at top, see Fig. 1,
accordance with these letter designations.
XB = male end of spigot at bottom, see Fig. 1
Y = length of barb section,
Z = outside diameter of barbs
2. Letter Designations of Dimensions
CB = counterbore on threaded fittings, optional,
2.1 The letter designations are defined as follows:
CM = length of male end, bushing,
DJ = inside diameter, major, bushing,
EJ = wall thickness of socket, major, bushing;
A = socket entrance diameter, measured at intersection
wall thickness of male end, bushing,
of socket diameter and chamfer or radius,
EN = wall thickness of socket, minor, bushing,
regardless of length “C”,
EW = radius on socket entrance,
B = socket bottom diameter, measured at intersection
EX = thickness with 30° taper on socket entrance;
of socket diameter and radius,
30° entrance chamfer width, and
C = socket depth, measured from socket entrance face
EZ = thickness with 45° taper on socket entrance;
to socket bottom face,
45° entrance chamfer width.
D = inside diameter of body,
E = wall thickness of socket, min,
F = wall thickness of body, 2.2 When there are two different values for one categorical
G = intersection of socket center lines to socket bottom
dimension on a fitting, the large one shall be designated with
(center-to-socket bottom), 90° elbows, tees, crosses, and shoulder
the letter for that category followed by a J meaning major, and
on insert fittings; a laying length,
H = intersection of socket center lines to end of fitting
the small one shall be designated by the same letter followed
(center-to-end), 90° elbows, tees, crosses; center to face,
by an N meaning minor; for example, on a 45-deg Y-branch,
J = intersection of socket center lines to socket bottom
there are two J dimensions, the longer one is designated as JJ
(center-to-socket bottom), 45° elbow; a laying length,
K = intersection of socket center lines to end of fitting
and the shorter one as JN. When there are more than two
(center-to-end), 45° elbow,
different values for one categorical dimension, they are desig-
L = length over-all, coupling,
