Designation:F64515aStandard Guide forSelection,Design,and Installation of Thermoplastic Water-Pressure Piping Systems1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F645;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of originaladoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.Anumber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscriptepsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This guide is intended for use in the selection,design,and installation of thermoplastic water systems for use outsidebuildings.For specific projects,a thorough review of this guideis recommended for the purpose of selecting specific materials,methods of joining,system design factor,and any specialprocedures deemed necessary to assure a satisfactory system.1.2 It is recommended that governing codes and projectspecifications be consulted prior to the use of this guide.Nothing in this guide should be construed as recommendingpractices or systems at variance with governing codes andproject specifications.1.3 UnitsThe values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard.Thevalues stated in each system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,each system shall be used independently of the other.Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.The pipe,fittings,and joiningmaterials shall meet the requirements of one or more of thefollowing component product standards listed in 1.3.1 through1.3.4 to the extent applicable.Those pipe standards followedby(a)are outside diameter-controlled pipes.Those followedby(b)are inside diameter-controlled pipes.1.3.1 For poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC)plastic piping compo-nents:Title of SpecificationASTMDesignationPoly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Plastic Pipe,Schedules 40,80and 120(a)D1785Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Plastic Pipe(SDR-PR)(a)D2241Threaded Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Plastic Pipe Fittings,Schedule 80D2464Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Plastic Pipe Fittings,Schedule40D2466Socket-Type Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Plastic PipeFittings,Schedule 80D2467Solvent Cements for Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Plastic Pipeand FittingsD2564Bell-End Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Pipe(a)D2672Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Plastic Tubing(a)D2740Socket-Type Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Plastic LineCouplingsD3036Joints for Plastic Pressure Pipes Using Flexible ElastomericSealsD3139Elastomeric Seals(Gaskets)for Joining Plastic PipeF477PVC and ABS Injected Solvent Cemented Plastic PipeJointsF5451.3.2 For Chlorinated Poly(Vinyl chloride)(CPVC)plasticpiping components:Title of SpecificationASTMDesignationChlorinated Poly(Vinyl chloride)(CPVC)Plastic Pipe,Schedules 40 and 80(a)F441/F441MChlorinated Poly(Vinyl chloride)(CPVC)Plastic Pipe Fittings,Schedule 80F439Solvent Cements for Chlorinated Poly(Vinyl chloride)(CPVC)Plastic Pipe and FittingsF4931.3.3 For polyethylene(PE)plastic piping components:Title of SpecificationASTMDesignationPolyethylene(PE)Plastic Pipe,(SDR-PR)(b)D2239Plastic Insert Fittings for Polyethylene(PE)Plastic PipeD2609Socket-Type Polyethylene Fittings for Outside Diameter-Controlled Polyethylene Pipe(a)D2683Polyethylene(PE)Plastic Tubing(a)D2737Polyethylene(PE)Plastic Pipe(SDR-PR)Based onControlled Outside Diameter(a)D3035Butt Heat Fusion Polyethylene(PE)Plastic Fittings forPolyethylene(PE)Plastic Pipe and TubingD32611.3.4 For poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC)and polyethylene(PE)Plastic Piping Components Issued By the American WaterWorks Association:C900 Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Pressure Pipe,4-inch through 12-inch,for Water(a)C901 Polyethylene(PE)Pressure Pipe,Tubingand Fittings,12-inch through 3-inch,for Water1.3.5 Pipes with wall thicknesses less than 1.50 mm(0.06in.)are not recommended.1.4 Other Joining DevicesJoining devices other thanthose covered by the listed standards may be selected by theuser on the basis of his own engineering evaluation and serviceexperience.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety problems,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.1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F17 on Plastic PipingSystems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F17.61 on Water.Current edition approved May 15,2015.Published July 2015.Originallyapproved in 1980.Last previous edition approved in 2015 as F645 15.DOI:10.1520/F0645-15A.*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.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D1600 Terminology forAbbreviated Terms Relating to Plas-ticsD1784 Specification for Rigid Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Compounds and Chlorinated Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(CPVC)CompoundsD1785 Specification for Poly(Vinyl Chloride)(PVC)Pla
