(What is a Work Item? / How to Input to a Work Item)

Work Item: ASTM WK38910 - Revision of F1055 - 11 Standard Specification for Electrofusion Type Polyethylene Fittings for Outside Diameter Controlled Polyethylene and Crosslinked Polyethylene (PEX) Pipe and Tubing

Developed by Subcommittee: F17.10 | Committee F17 Home | Contact Staff Manager



1. Rationale

The purpose of this project is to add reference to CTS PEX tubing in appropriate locations within the document. The rationale is that these fittings are also appropriate for use with CTS PEX tubing, and several combinations of F1055 fittings with CTS PEX tubing have been third-party tested to meet and exceed all technical requirements.
