Designation:F288014Standard Specification forLap-Joint Type Flange Adapters for Polyethylene PressurePipe in Nominal Pipe Sizes34in.to 65 in.1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2880;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()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers the polyethylene material anddimensions applicable to flange adapters(FAs)used to connectpolyethylene pipes to other flanged pipe and components suchas valves and flanged fittings.This standard describes outsidediameter controlled polyethylene(PE)pipe flange adapters(FAs)in diameters ranging from34in.through 65 in.(12 mmthrough 1600 mm).The flange adapters may be manufacturedby various methods including injection molding,compressionmolding,and machining from billet or thick-wall polyethylenepipe.1.2 The flange adapter(FA)is the principal component ofthe lap-joint flanged assembly widely used for several decadesin low-pressure to high-pressure polyethylene pipe systems forall types of pressurized flow(gas and liquid)applications.Theflange adapters physical shape consists of the pipe-like Neckwhich is monolithic with its Hub.The Neck is intended to bebutt-fused or fusion coupled to the pipe-line;while the Hubface is intended to affect the seal when subjected to thedistributed load from the back up ring with its properly torquedbolt-studs and nuts.NOTE1Polyethylene pipe flange adapters with slip on bolt rings areintended for use being bolted to each other or to be bolted to metal flangeshaving(primarily)Class 150 bolt hole patterns such as those presented inmetal flange standards ASME B16.5,ASME B16.47 and AWWA C207.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.4 The use of gaskets and gasket selection are often anintegral component of the flange adapter assembly.See thePlastic Pipe Institute Technical Note TN-38 for more informa-tion regarding HDPE flanged joints.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D2122 Test Method for Determining Dimensions of Ther-moplastic Pipe and FittingsD2513 Specification for Polyethylene(PE)Gas PressurePipe,Tubing,and FittingsD2837 Test Method for Obtaining Hydrostatic Design Basisfor Thermoplastic Pipe Materials or Pressure Design Basisfor Thermoplastic Pipe ProductsD3035 Specification for Polyethylene(PE)Plastic Pipe(DR-PR)Based on Controlled Outside DiameterD3261 Specification for Butt Heat Fusion Polyethylene(PE)Plastic Fittings for Polyethylene(PE)Plastic Pipe andTubingD3350 Specification for Polyethylene Plastics Pipe and Fit-tings MaterialsF714 Specification for Polyethylene(PE)Plastic Pipe(DR-PR)Based on Outside DiameterF2206 Specification for Fabricated Fittings of Butt-FusedPolyethylene(PE)F3034 Specification for Billets made by Winding MoltenExtruded Stress-Rated High Density Polyethylene(HDPE)2.2 ASME Standards:3B16.5“Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings”B16.47“Large Diameter Steel Flanges:NPS 26 throughNPS 60”Class#150 Series AB36.10M Welded and Seamless Wrought Steel PipeB36.19M Stainless Steel Pipe1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on PlasticPiping Systems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F17.10 on Fittings.Current edition approved May 1,2014.Published June 2014.Originallyapproved in 2011.Last previous edition approved in 2011 as F288011a.DOI:10.1520/F2880-14.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME),ASMEInternational Headquarters,Three Park Ave.,New York,NY 10016-5990,http:/www.asme.org.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 2.3 AWWA Standards:4C207“Standard for Steel Pipe Flanges for WaterworksService,Sizes 4 In.Through 144 In.(100 mm Through3,600 mm);Class#150/Series B,D&E.C901“Standard for Polyethylene(PE)pressure pipe andtubing,12”through 3”for Water Service.”C906 Standard for Polyethylene(PE)Pressure Pipe andFittings,4 In.(100 mm)Through 63 In.(1,600 mm),forWater Distribution and TransmissionM55 Polyethylene Pipe-Design and Installation2.4 NSF Standards:5NSF/ANSI S
