ASTM F1245-19

Standard Specification for Faucets, Single and Double, Compression and Self-Closing Type, Shipboard

ABSTRACT
This specification covers single- and double compression and self-closing faucets for shipboard plumbing installations. Faucets may be classified into nine types: Type I is the standard (bibb) with three classes namely Class A (compression, plain end), Class B (compression, hose end), and Class C (self-closing); Type II is a lavatory, self-closing, low spout faucet with two classes which are Class A (fast-closing) and Class B (slow-closing, depression type); Type III is a folding lavatory,self-closing faucet; Type IV is an elbow operated faucet, Type V is a faucet with lavatory, combination water supply and drain fixture; Type VI is a faucet with combination supply fixture swing spout for use on galley sinks; Type VII is a faucet with single supply fixture swing spout for use with steam kettles and urns and this type has two classes namely Class A which has spout for overhead supply and Class B which has spout for riser supply; Type VIII is a faucet with supply fixture for pressed metal and shock mounted china lavatories; and Type IX which is a faucet with lavatory and combination of water supply and drain fixtures. Faucet bodies shall be made of bronze and handles shall be of commercial grade cast or forged brass or bronze. Bonnets, handwheels, and nuts shall be of commercial quality brass or bronze; machine screws shall be made of commercial brass. Seat washers shall be of a rubber or fiber material and suitable for a certain water temperature range without deterioration of material. Springs for self-closing faucets shall be of corrosionresisting steel, phosphor bronze, or nickel copper. All samples shall be subjected to a hydrostatic test.

Overview

ASTM F1245-19 is the recognized standard specification for single and double compression, as well as self-closing shipboard faucets. Issued by ASTM International, this standard provides comprehensive requirements and classification for faucets used in marine and shipboard plumbing installations. The specification details materials, design, workmanship, testing, marking, and packaging to ensure durability, reliability, and safety in demanding shipboard environments.

Faucets covered by ASTM F1245-19 are integral to maintaining sanitary and operational shipboard facilities. The standard ensures that faucets withstand harsh marine conditions and meet the needs of various shipboard applications, ranging from galley sinks to lavatory fixtures.

Key Topics

Classification and Types:

• Faucets are classified into nine types based on function, design, and application:
  • Type I: Standard (bibb), available as compression (plain end or hose end) and self-closing
  • Type II: Lavatory, self-closing, low spout (fast- or slow-closing)
  • Type III: Folding lavatory, self-closing
  • Type IV: Elbow operated
  • Type V: Lavatory, combination water supply and drain fixture
  • Type VI: Combination supply fixture swing spout for galley sinks
  • Type VII: Single supply fixture for steam kettles and urns
  • Type VIII: Supply fixture for pressed metal/shock-mounted china lavatories
  • Type IX: Lavatory and water supply/drain combination, depression type

Material Requirements:

• Faucet bodies: Bronze (conforming to specific ASTM standards)
• Handles, bonnets, nuts, handwheels: Commercial grade brass or bronze
• Seat washers: Durable rubber or fiber, resistant to temperature extremes
• Self-closing faucet springs: Corrosion-resistant steel, phosphor bronze, or nickel copper

Performance and Testing:

• All faucets must pass a hydrostatic pressure test to ensure leak-free operation and mechanical integrity.
• Self-closing models are tested for cycle times to verify operational reliability.

Marking and Packaging:

• Proper product marking, including "hot" or "cold" (or abbreviated), and manufacturer’s identification.
• Packaging in accordance with commercial practices or additional government/military requirements for protection during shipping and storage.

Applications

ASTM F1245-19 faucets are specifically designed for installation in:

• Marine and Shipboard Plumbing Systems: Ensuring reliable water delivery and drainage in shipboard galleys, lavatories, machinery spaces, and medical facilities.
• Naval Vessels and Commercial Ships: Suitable for various onboard plumbing tasks, accommodating unique shipboard demands such as shock resistance, corrosion resistance, and space efficiency.
• Repair and Replacement: Used for maintaining and upgrading existing shipboard plumbing infrastructure, ensuring new installations and replacements adhere to current performance and safety standards.

By adhering to ASTM F1245-19, shipbuilders, naval architects, and marine maintenance professionals can ensure safe, robust, and compliant shipboard faucet installations that withstand the rigors of marine environments.
