Which standard would you consult for CPVC plastic pipe specifications?

• A. ASTM B 32
• B. ASME B16.15
• C. CPVC Pipe
• D. ASTM F 442

Answer: (D)

CPVC piping has its own standard that defines what CPVC pipe and fittings must meet for pressure piping. The standard you’d consult for CPVC plastic pipe specifications is ASTM F442. It covers the material requirements, dimensions, pressure ratings, and test methods for CPVC pipe and fittings used in hot- and cold-water systems, including sprinkler service. The other options relate to copper tubing or metal flange standards, or aren’t CPVC-specific standards, so they don’t apply to CPVC pipe specifications.
