1) The document provides specifications for an industrial AlphaPlus (AP) polypropylene piping system. The pipe and fittings are made from AP polypropylene resin rated for continuous operating temperatures up to 80°C.
2) All pressure pattern fittings from 14mm through 150mm must be injection molded and have the same pressure rating as the pipe. Drainage pattern fittings can be fabricated by mitering, butt fusion welding, or side-wall fusion techniques.
3) Joining of pipes and fittings 14mm through 50mm must be socket fusion type joints. Joining of pipes and fittings 29mm and larger must be butt fusion welded according to manufacturer's recommendations and ASTM standards. W
