Designation:D 3309 96a(Reapproved 2002)An American National StandardStandard Specification forPolybutylene(PB)Plastic Hot-and Cold-Water DistributionSystems1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3309;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers requirements,test methods,and methods of marking for polybutylene plastic systemcomponents made in one standard dimension ratio and in-tended for 0.69 MPa(100 psi)water service up to andincluding 82C(180F).These components comprise pipe andtubing,socket-fusion fittings,compression fittings,mechanicalfittings,and plastic-to-metal transition fittings.Requirementsand test methods are included for sustained,hydrostatic pres-sure strength,thermocycling resistance,joint strength,anddimensions and tolerances for pipe and socket fusion fittings.The components covered by this specification are intended foruse in hot-and cold-water potable water service and distribu-tion systems and such non-potable water applications asbuilding services piping,water heating and cooling systems,fire sprinkler applications,and other miscellaneous applica-tions involving the transport of water,ethylene glycol solu-tions,or other aqueous liquids shown not to adversely affectPB performance.1.2 The text of this specification references notes,footnotes,and appendixes which provide explanatory material.Thesenotes and footnotes(excluding those in tables and figures)shallnot be considered as requirements of the specification.1.3 The values in SI units are the standard.The values statedin parentheses are for information only.NOTE1Suggested hydrostatic design stresses and hydrostatic pres-sure ratings for pipe,tubing,and fittings are listed in Appendix X1.Design,assembly,and installation considerations are discussed in Appen-dix X2.An optional performance qualification and an in-plant qualitycontrol program are recommended in Appendix X3.1.4 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest method portion,Section 7,of this specification:Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is the responsibility of the userof this standard to establish appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:D 618 Practice for Conditioning Plastics for Testing2D 1598 Test Method for Time-to-Failure of Plastic PipeUnder Constant Internal Pressure3D 1599 Test Method for Resistance to Short-Time,Hydrau-lic Pressure of Plastic Pipe,Tubing,and Fittings3D 1600 Terminology for Abbreviated Terms Relating toPlastics2D 1708 Test Method for Tensile Properties of Plastics byUse of Microtensile Specimens2D 1784 Specification for Rigid Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Compounds and Chlorinated Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(CPVC)Compounds2D 1898 Practice for Sampling of Plastics2D 2122 Test Method for Determining Dimensions of Ther-moplastic Pipe and Fittings3D 2581 Specification for Polybutylene(PB)Plastics Mold-ing and Extrusion Materials4D 2749 Symbols for Dimensions of Plastic Pipe Fittings3D 2837 Test Method for Obtaining Hydrostatic DesignBasis for Thermoplastic Pipe Materials3D 3915 Specification for Rigid Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)and Chlorinated Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(CPVC)Compounds for Plastic Pipe and Fittings Used in PressureApplications5D 4181 Specification forAcetal(POM)Molding and Extru-sion Materials5F 412 Terminology Relating to Plastic Piping Systems3F 699 Practice for Accelerated Conditioning of Polybuty-lene Pipe and Tubing for Subsequent Quality ControlTesting3F 948 Test Method for Time-to-Failure of Plastic PipingSystems and Components Under Constant Internal Pres-sure With Flow32.2ANSI Standards:1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on PlasticPiping Systems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F17.61 on Water.Current edition approved Sept.10,1996.Published November 1996.Originallypublished as D 3309 74.Last previous edition D 3309 96a.2Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 08.01.3Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 08.04.4Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 08.03.5Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 08.02.1Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959,United States.ANSI B 36.10 Welded and Seamless Wrought Steel Pipe6ANSI Z 17.1 Preferred Numbers62.3AWWA Standard:Manual M-11 Steel Pipe Design and Insulation72.4Federal Standard:Fed Std.No.123 Marking for Shipments(Civil Agencies)82.5Military Standard:MIL-STD-129 Marking for Shipment and Storage82.6NSF Standard:Standard No.14 for Plastic Piping Components and Relat
