Standard Specification for Metal Press Insert Fittings with Factory Assembled Stainless Steel Press Sleeve for SDR9 Cross-linked Polyethylene (PEX) Tubing

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers copper alloy metal press insert fittings with factory assembled stainless steel press sleeves incorporating 3 view holes for use with cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) tubing in nominal sizes 5/16 , 3/8 , 1/2 , 5/8 , 3/4 , 1, 11/4 , 1 1/2 , and 2 that meet the requirements for Specification F876 or F3253. These fittings are intended for use in 100 psi (689.5 kPa) systems operating at temperatures up to, and including, 180 °F (82 °C). The requirements for materials, workmanship, dimensions, and markings to be used on the fittings and sleeves are also included. The components covered by this specification are intended for use in residential and commercial, hot and cold, potable water distribution systems as well as sealed central heating, including under-floor heating/cooling systems, and residential fire sprinkler systems.  
1.2 Units—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.  
1.3 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.4 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.
