Which standard covers CPVC plastic pipe fittings?

Which standard covers CPVC plastic pipe fittings?

• A. ASTM F 437 Standard for CPVC plastic pipe fittings
• B. ASTM F 438 Socket-type CPVC fittings
• C. ASTM F 439 Socket-type CPVC fittings, Schedule 80
• D. ASME B16.18 Standard for cast copper alloy solder joint fittings

Answer: (A)

The standard that covers CPVC plastic pipe fittings is ASTM F437. This specification sets the general requirements for CPVC pipe fittings, including materials, dimensions, performance, and testing to ensure compatibility with CPVC piping systems. The other standards listed are more specific to certain CPVC fitting types (socket-type fittings or Schedule 80 variants) or to a different material altogether (ASME B16.18 covers cast copper alloy solder-joint fittings). So ASTM F437 is the appropriate, overall standard for CPVC pipe fittings.
