Designation:F2829/F2829M15An American National StandardStandard Specification forMetric-and Inch-Sized Crosslinked Polyethylene(PEX)PipeSystems1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2829/F2829M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers performance requirements,testmethods,and marking requirements for metric-and inch-sizedsystem components(electrofusion and mechanical fittings)when joined with metric-or inch-sized PEX pipe(SpecificationF2788)as a system,intended for use up to and including amaximum working temperature of 200F 93C.The follow-ing performance requirements are described for the fittings 68F 20C hydrostatic strength,176F 80C hydrostaticstrength,short-term internal pressure resistance,resistance totensile loads,cohesive resistance for electrofusion fittings atboth the minimum and maximum recommended temperatures,impact resistance for saddle fittings,and leak tightness and pullout tests for mechanical fittings.The metric-and inch-sizedcomponents covered by this specification are intended for theabove-ground and buried pressure piping applications,such asindustrial&general-purpose pipelines,potable water pipelines,and fire extinguishing pipelines.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 stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.Within the text the SIunits are shown in brackets.The values stated in each systemmay not be exact equivalents:therefore,each system shall beused independently of the other.Combining values from thetwo systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.NOTE1Suggested hydrostatic design stresses and hydrostatic pressureratings for pipe and fittings are listed in Appendix X1.Design,assembly,and installation considerations are discussed in Appendix X2.An optionalperformance qualification and an in-plant quality control program arerecommended in Appendix X3.1.4 The following safety hazards 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:2D618 Practice for Conditioning Plastics for TestingD1600 Terminology forAbbreviated Terms Relating to Plas-ticsD1898 Practice for Sampling of Plastics(Withdrawn 1998)3D2749 Symbols for Dimensions of Plastic Pipe FittingsD2837 Test Method for Obtaining Hydrostatic Design Basisfor Thermoplastic Pipe Materials or Pressure Design Basisfor Thermoplastic Pipe ProductsF412 Terminology Relating to Plastic Piping SystemsF1055 Specification for Electrofusion Type PolyethyleneFittings for Outside Diameter Controlled Polyethyleneand Crosslinked Polyethylene(PEX)Pipe and TubingF2788 Specification for Metric and Inch-sized CrosslinkedPolyethylene(PEX)Pipe2.2 Federal Standard:4Fed Std.No.123 Marking for Shipment(Civil Agencies)2.3 Military Standard:4MIL-STD-129 Marking for Shipment and Storage2.4 NSF Standard:5Standard No.14 for Plastic Piping Components and RelatedMaterialsNSF/ANSI 61 Drinking Water System Components-Health Effects1This 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 Nov.1,2015.Published January 2016.Originallyapproved in 2010.last previous edition approved in 2010 as F282910.DOI:10.1520/F2829_F2829M15.2For 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.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.4Available from Standardization Documents Order Desk,DODSSP,Bldg.4,SectionD,700RobbinsAve.,Philadelphia,PA19111-5098,http:/dodssp.daps.dla.mil.5Available from NSF International,P.O.Box 130140,789 N.Dixboro Rd.,AnnArbor,MI 48113-0140,http:/www.nsf.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 2.5 ISO Standards:6ISO 4427-3 Plastic piping systems Polyethylene(PE)pipes and fittings for water supply fittingsISO 4427-5 Plastic piping systems Polyethylene(PE)pipes and fittings for water su
