1 Scope 1.1 General This Standard covers socket- and saddle-type polyethylene (PE) electrofusion fittings that are used to join PE pipe where the heat source is an integral part of the fitting. Note: Fittings covered by this Standard are connected to an electrical power source during the fusion process. Power sources, cables, and electrical connections are covered by the Canadian Electrical…

1 Scope 1.1 General This Standard covers polyethylene (PE) pipe, tubing, and fittings for use in gas mains and services, including gathering, transmission, and distribution of fuel gases containing not more than 1% aromatic hydrocarbons. 1.2 Fittings and connections This Standard covers all types of fittings and connections used in plastic gas pipe systems, including a) plastic-to-metal…

1 Scope 1.1 General This Standard specifies requirements for crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) tubing systems that comprise tubing and fittings. Tubing covered by this Standard is made in SDR 9. Systems are pressure rated at three temperatures: 1105 kPa at 23 °C, 690 kPa at 82 °C, and 550 kPa at 93 °C, with a maximum working pressure of 690 kPa at 82 °C. Systems are intended for use in potable…

1 Scope 1.1 General This Standard covers chlorinated polyvinylchloride (CPVC) pipe, tubing, and fittings in the following sizes and uses: a) SDR 11, and Schedules 40 and 80 pipe in pipe sizes whose dimension ratio does not exceed 11, for use in hot- and cold-water distribution systems at a maximum working pressure of 690 kPa and a maximum working temperature of 82 °C; and b) SDR 13.5 and…

1 Scope 1.1 General This Standard covers polyethylene/aluminum/polyethylene (PE-AL-PE) macrocomposite pipe consisting of a welded aluminum tube laminated by a melt adhesive to layers of polyethylene (PE) inside and outside the aluminum tube. The pipes covered in this Standard are pressure rated for 1380 kPa at 23 °C, 1035 kPa at 60 °C, or 690 kPa at 82 °C. Systems are intended for use in…

1 Scope 1.1 General This Standard covers crosslinked polyethylene/aluminum/crosslinked polyethylene (PEX-AL-PEX) macrocomposite pipe consisting of a welded aluminum (AL) tube laminated by a melt adhesive to layers of crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) inside and outside the aluminum tube. This Standard also covers fittings (connectors) for use with PEX-AL-PEX pipe. The pipes covered in this…

1 Scope 1.1 General This Standard covers two types of polypropylene (PP) pipe and fittings – polypropylene random copolymer (PP-R) and polypropylene random copolymer with modified crystallinity and temperature resistance (PP-RCT) intended for use in pressure applications such as hot and cold potable water distribution systems, process piping, reclaimed/recycled water systems, water service,…

1 Scope 1.1 General This Standard covers polyamide (PA) pipe, tubing, and fittings for use in gas mains and services, including the gathering, transmission, and distribution of gases that can contain aromatic hydrocarbons. 1.2 Fittings and connections This Standard covers all types of fittings and connections used in PA piping systems for gas services, including plastic-to-metal transition…

1 Scope 1.1 General This Standard specifies requirements for polyethylene of raised temperature (PE-RT) tubing systems that comprise tubing, with or without a barrier layer, and fittings. Tubing covered by this Standard is made in SDR 9. Systems are pressure rated at two temperatures: 1105 kPa at 23 °C and 690 kPa at 82 °C. Systems are intended for use in potable water distribution systems or…

1 Scope 1.1 General This Standard covers crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) pipe and fittings for use in gas mains and services, including gas gathering, gas transmission, and distribution of fuel gases. 1.2 Pipe This Standard covers PEX pipes in metric nominal sizes DN 16 to DN 1000 or nominal pipe sizes NPS-3 to NPS-54 that are a) pressure-rated using the hydrostatic design basis (HDB) rating…
