Pipe and Fittings for Residential Automatic Sprinkler Systems Product Performance Standard

摘要

This proposed standard is intended to set performance requirements for pipe and fittings, and joints between them, to be used in residential automatic sprinkler systems installed in accordance with the standard for the installation of Sprinkler Systems-One- and Two-Family Dwellings, ANSI/NFPA No. 13D-1980. It was written specifically to provide criteria against which to evaluate plastic piping materials; however, it may be used to evaluate any pipe and fittings not already specifically allowed in NFPA 13D-1980, since it is based upon the physical requirements of that service and not on the characteristics of any particular material.
