Established for the protection of public health and the environment, this standard establishes minimum physical, performance, and health effects requirements for plastic piping system components and related materials. 

This American National Standard establishes minimum health-effects requirements for the chemical contaminants and impurities that are indirectly imparted to drinking water from products, components, and materials used in drinking water systems. 

This standard measures and describes the properties of materials, products, or assemblies in response to heat and flame under controlled laboratory conditions. Testing results provide fire risk assessments that consider all the factors pertinent to an assessment of the fire hazard of a particular end use. 

This standard covers requirements for solvent cements used to make CPVC connections. It states the solvent cement shall be a CPVC resin-based solution, shall be free-flowing, shall show no gelation or stratification, and shall not contain lumps or any foreign matter. Other requirements include resin content, dissolution, viscosity, shelf stability, hydrostatic burst strength, and hydrostatic sustained pressure strength. 

This standard covers CPVC pipes manufactured in Schedule 40 and 80 sizes and pressure-rated for water. These pipes are intended for use with the distribution of pressurized liquids only, which are chemically compatible with the piping materials. The standard includes criteria for classifying CPVC plastic pipe materials and CPVC plastic pipes along with requirements and test methods for materials, workmanship, dimensions, sustained pressure, burst pressure, accelerated regression, flattening resistance, and extrusion quality. 

This standard covers special engineered fittings, appurtenances, or valves for use in PVC or CPVC piping systems. The standard includes seal dimensions requirements and tolerances for solvent-weld, threaded, flange, and spigot connections. It also includes requirements for bolt patterns, average outside diameter, out-of-plane roundness, and minimum wall thickness of the corresponding pipe. 

No, however, Uponor does recommend a two-step solvent welding process. Be sure to follow all solvent cement manufacturer instructions as well as Uponor guidelines for proper connections. Take precautions to prevent the solvent cement from contacting the PEX pipe or any ProPEX EP fittings in proximity.

Spigot adapters transition from a CPVC fitting, so the adapter fits into the fitting. Socket adapters transition from CPVC pipe, so the adapter fits over the top of the pipe. 

These adapters are designed for connection to iron pipe size (IPS) Schedule 80 CPVC pipe and fittings. For transitions from CTS pipe and fittings, use Uponor ProPEX LF Brass Spigot and Socket Adapters (part numbers CP4501313, CP4501515, CP4502020, CP4511313, CP4511515, and CP4512020).
