Which standard covers wrought copper and copper alloy fittings?

Which standard covers wrought copper and copper alloy fittings?

• A. ASME B16.1 Standard for gray iron pipe flanges
• B. ASME B16.22 Standard for wrought copper and copper alloy fittings
• C. ASME B16.5 Standard for pipe flanges and flanged fittings
• D. ASTM F 437 Standard for CPVC plastic pipe fittings

Answer: (B)

ASME B16.22 is the standard that covers fittings made from wrought copper and copper alloys. It defines the dimensions, tolerances, pressure ratings, and acceptable joint methods (such as soldered, brazed, or mechanical joints) for copper fittings used with copper tubing in plumbing and heating systems. This includes elbows, tees, couplings, reducers, adapters, and other copper fittings. The other standards pertain to gray iron flanges, general pipe flanges and flanged fittings, or CPVC plastic fittings, so they do not apply to wrought copper fittings.
