Certifications, Codes, and Standards
Engineered sealing elements are designed to leak before they are pressed, giving a visual identification of a connection that has not been pressed.
Made from ASTM A420 Carbon Steel with Zn-Ni plating. ASTM A420 has excellent corrosion resistant properties.
Used in several applications including: fluids, water, gases, oil & lubricants. Some specific examples include: hydronic heating, chilled water, low-pressure steam applications, carbon dioxide, engine oil, and more.
The box, bag, and ring are color-coordinated to the sealing element for ease of receipt, identification, and safe installation for the application.
Certifications – IAPMO Z 1117 (EPDM & FKM); IAPMO/ANSI LC 4/CSA 6.32 (HNBR)
Codes & Standards – ASME B31.1 Power Piping; ASME B31.3 Process Piping; ASME B31.9 Building Service Piping; CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code; IAPMO Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC); IAPMO Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC).
