ASTM F439-09

Standard Specification for Chlorinated Poly (Vinyl Chloride) (CPVC) Plastic Pipe Fittings, Schedule 80

ABSTRACT
This specification covers chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride)(CPVC) Schedule 80 pipe fittings intended for use with Iron Pipe Size (IPS) outside-diameter plastic pipe. Materials shall be tested and shall conform to the requirements for materials, workmanship, dimensions, and burst pressure.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) (CPVC) Schedule 80 pipe fittings. Included are requirements for materials, workmanship, dimensions, and burst pressure.
Note 1—The threaded CPVC fittings covered by this specification were covered previously in Specification F 437.  
1.2 The text of this specification references notes, footnotes, and appendixes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of this specification.  
1.3 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.
1.4 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Section 8, of this specification:  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.
