Scope:

1.1  This Standard applies to metallic (copper, steel and stainless steel) press-connect type fittings, and valves (hereafter referred to as fittings unless otherwise specified) for use with fuel gas systems intended for installation above ground, below ground, indoors and outdoors.

1.2  This Standard applies to fuel gas systems rated for operating pressures not exceeding 125 psi (862 kPa).

1.3  This Standard applies to fittings intended for use with fuel gas systems 3/8 inch through 4 inch nominal size.

1.4  If a value for measurement as given in this standard is followed by an equivalent value in other units, the first stated value is to be regarded as the specification. This document is based on yard/pound quantities with SI equivalents provided as a guide for making metric conversions.

1.5  Fittings and other components complying with the provisions of this standard shall be considered as having an ambient temperature range of minus 40°F (-40 °C) to 180°F (82.2°C).

1.6  This Standard includes requirements to establish the suitability for use in concealed locations. (See Clause 3, Definitions)

Project need:

To update the standard to reflect new technologies/stakeholder input.
