    Rationale

    Add language to the Product Marking section requiring the ASTM standard number to be marked only if size permits. Some fittings (e.g. 5/16 nominal) are too small for both a trademark and the ASTM number to fit, and placing the ASTM marking on packaging will suffice in such cases. ASTM F1807, arguably the most widespread PEX/PE-RT fitting standard in use, contains such language which I propose should be added to F3347.
