1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers 'fiberglass' (glass-fiber-reinforced thermosetting-resin) fittings for use with filament wound or centrifugally cast fiberglass pipe, or both, in sizes 1 in. through 24 in. for pipe manufactured to Specification D 2996 or D 2997, or both.

1.2 The following safety hazard caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Section 7, of this specification:

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Note 1The term 'fiberglass pipe' as described in Section of this specification applies to both reinforced thermosetting resin pipe (RTRP) and reinforced polymer mortar pipe (RPMP).

Note 2For the purposes of this standard, ploymer does not include natural polymers.

Note 3There is no similar or equivalent ISO standard.

2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
