Suction Line P-Trap
C x C Wrot
A major application of this fitting is on the
suction line of a refregeration compressor.
The line is looped, by use of the Suction Line
P-Trap, to the floor prior to being run vertically
upwards to prevent the drainage of oil back to the
compressor during shut down periods. Additional
P-Traps are used for each 20' or riser pipe. this
prevents high velocity build-up as the oil or liquid
begins to return to the compressor during this
shut down period.

Copper
Tube Fittings
TYPES OF JOINTS
Flared Joint The principle of the flared joint was first developed
for copper tube plumbing in 1928 by NIBCO. The flared type joint is
wholly a mechanical means of joining copper tubes. The tube nut is
placed over the end of the copper tube to be joined; the tube end
then is flared out at an approximate 45 degree angle by a flaring tool.
The flared end is then drawn up by the tube nut so the inside surface
is tightly secured against the ball seat of the fitting. This joint can
be readily dismantled at any time and is, in effect, a type of union
connection. Its use is generally restricted to soft (annealed) copper
tubes since hard drawn tubes would be subject to splitting when
flared (if the ends were not previously annealed). The flared ends
of NIBCO Flared Fittings are produced to the requirements of ASME
B16.26, Cast Copper Alloy Fittings for Flared Copper Tube.
Solder Joint NIBCO pioneered the development of
the solder joint and its application to the field of copper tube
piping. Today the solder joint is widely adopted, as evidenced by
the majority of cities and states that have written codes to include
copper tube and solder joints as desirable for general plumbing,
water lines, vent, stack, waste and drain lines, as well as other uses
in industry. Testing has shown that often the solder joint has greater
strength than the tubes being joined, depending upon the soldering
alloy selected. While the method of preparing a solder joint is an
exacting art to insure a full strength joint, it can be readily mastered
by skilled tradesmen. It is for this reason to insure the public of
the protection afforded by properly prepared joints that NIBCO
products are marketed through the reputable sources of supply to the
piping trades. Important procedures for preparing a solder joint are
graphically illustrated in this catalog on page 95.
Brazed Joint This type of joint has long been used wherever and
whenever critical situations have been encountered in copper piping.
The joint itself is completed much in the same manner as the solder
joint; however, considerably more heat and several refinements of
technique require separate procedures that are described further in
this catalog on pages 96-97.

Flanges To adapt copper tube to equipment having flanged


connections, or to add copper tube to flanged pipe installations or
other purposes, NIBCO provides flanges. The flanges are produced in
two standard types widely used in this field where copper tube can
serve Class 150, comply with ASME B16.24, Cast Copper Alloy
Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings Class 150, 300, 400, 600, 900, 1500
and 2500; and Class 125, which conform to MSS SP 106, Cast
Copper Alloy Flanges and Flanged Fittings Class 125, 150 and 300.
Barbed Insert Fittings for Polybutylene (PB) NIBCO offers
a complete line of copper barbed insert fittings for joining PB tube.
The insert fittings are produced to the requirements of ASTM F 1380.
Along with the insert fittings are copper crimp rings, which, when
properly installed, provide a leak-tight mechanical joint. Transition
fittings are available for adapting to new or existing threaded or
solder joint ends.

WHAT MAKES A PLUMBING SYSTEM FAIL?


Failure in a copper plumbing system is rare, but may occur due to a variety

ABBREVIATED EMF SERIES

of reasons. The most common causes of failure are:

(Electromotive-Force Series; Common Piping Materials in Sea Water)

CATHODE (+) Passive


1. Excessive fluid velocity causes erosion-corrosion or impingement (to strike
or hit against) attack in the tube and/or fitting. For this reason, the copper
plumbing industry has establish design velocity limits for copper plumbing
systems to the following:
Hot Water > 140F (60C)
2 to 3 feet per second
(0.6 to 0.9 meters per second)
Hot Water 140F (60C)
4 to 5 feet per second
(1.2 to 1.5 meters per second)
Cold Water
5 to 8 feet per second
(1.5 to 2.4 meters per second)
2. Localized high velocities and/or turbulence. The presence of a dent, tube
ends which are not reamed or deburred before soldering, and sudden
changes in direction can all cause localized high velocity conditions.
3. Flux Corrosion is typified by pin hole leaks, generally in the bottom of
a horizontal line. Fluxes are mildly corrosive liquid or petroleum-based
pastes containing chlorides of zinc and ammonia. Unless the flux is
flushed from the system, it will lay in the bottom of the tube and remain
active. ASTM B 813, Liquid and Paste Fluxes for Soldering Applications
of Copper and Copper-Alloy Tube, limits the corrosivity of soldering
fluxes and ensures that these fluxes are flushable in cold water, which
facilitates easy removal of flux residue following installation.
4. Galvanic Corrosion may be defined as the destruction of a material by
electrochemical interaction between the environment and the material.
Generally, it is slow but persistent in character and requires the presence
of dissimilar metals. Galvanic corrosion requires the flow of an electric
current between certain areas of dissimilar metal surfaces. To complete
the electric circuit, there must be two electrodes, an anode and a cathode,
and they must be connected by an electrolyte media (water) through
which the current can pass. The amount of metal which dissolves at the
anode is proportional to the number of electrons flowing, which in turn
is dependent upon the potential and resistance of the two metals. The
use of dissimilar metals in a plumbing system may or may not create a
problem. For instance, copper and steel are perhaps the most common
dissimilar metals found together in a plumbing system. In closed systems,
such as a chilled or heating water piping, the use of dissimilar metals may
not create a serious problem; this is because there is virtually no oxygen
in the water and corrosion relations tend to be stifled. Where dissimilar
metals must be used, some codes require that they should be separated
by dielectric union or a similar type of fitting. The effectiveness depends
upon; distance between the metals on the electromotive-force series
(EMF) chart, ratio of cathode to anode area, degree of aeration, amount
of agitation, temperature, presence of dissolved salts, and other factors.

5. Dezincification is a type of corrosion in which brass dissolves as an alloy
and the copper constituent redeposits from solution onto the surface of
the brass as a metal, but in the porous form. The zinc constituent may
be carried away from the brass as a soluble salt, or may be deposited in
place as an insoluble compound. Dezincification is normally associated
with brass valves where the zinc content exceeds 15%. Generally, areas of
high stress, such as valve stems and gate valve bodies, are primary targets
of attack.
6. On rare occasion problems of corrosion by aggressive water, possibly
aggravated by poor design or workmanship, do exist. Aggressive, hard
well waters that cause pitting can be identified by chemical analysis and
treated to bring their composition within acceptable limits. Typically these
hard waters are found to have high total dissolved solids (t.d.s.) including
sulfates and chlorides, a pH in the range of 7.2 to 7.8, a high content of
carbon dioxide (CO2) gas (over 10 parts per million, ppm), and the presence
of dissolved oxygen (D.O.) gas. Soft acidic waters can cause the annoying
problem of green staining of fixtures or green water. Raising the pH of
such waters to a value of about 7.2 or more usually solves the problem, but
a qualified water treatment specialist should be consulted.
7. Aggressive soil conditions can be a cause for external corrosion of copper
piping systems. Non-uniform soil characteristics, such as different soil
aeration, resistivity, or moisture properties, between adjacent sections
of tube can create galvanic corrosion cells. Soils contaminated with high
concentrations of road salts or fertilizers containing ammonia, chlorides,
and nitrogen are known to combine with water to form acids. Any metal
pipe laid in ash or cinders is subject to attack by the acid generated when
sulfur compounds combine with water to form sulfuric acid.

The National Bureau of Standards Report BMS58, Strength of Soft-Soldered Joints in


Copper Tubing, reporting on tests conducted with 3/4-inch tubing and fitting, says When the
clearance is greater than 0.010 inch (0.25 mm), there is difficulty in filling the joint properly.

2. Depth of Solder Penetration drastically affects the breaking


load of the joint. When there is too great a soldering clearance,
there is no capillary flow to assure complete solder penetration.
As shown in the chart below, the holding power of the 3/4-inch
joint is directly proportional to the depth of solder penetration.

HOW TO BE SURE OF PROPER TOLERANCES


It is apparent that all of the scientific apparatus used to test tube
and fittings, according to the dimensions indicated in Chart 1,
would be impractical to use on the job. It is therefore essential that
you install tube and fittings manufactured by companies known to
be dedicated to the highest quality control standards. Should you
encounter a condition where there is difficulty in filling the joint
properly, NIBCO will analyze the trouble without charge. Just send
six inches of the tube, along with the fitting and our technicians will
provide you with an authoritative report.

For example: If you get only one-third penetration, you get


approximately one-third the strength needed to assure complete
satisfaction.

Solder penetration of one-third


the cup depth breaking load,
approximately 2,100 lb. (955 kg)

Solder penetration of the entire


cup depth breaking load
approximately 7,000 lb. (3175 kg)

Copper
Water Tube
The mechanics of making both the solder joint and the brazing joint are comparatively similar. Complete instructions
on proper techniques of both of these joining methods are outlined in this catalog on pages 85-97.
A very important consideration in Copper Piping is the selection of the proper bonding medium. As a general rule, the working
temperature of the installation is a more important consideration than the working pressures. If the working temperature is not over
250F (121C), either 50-50%* or 95-5% solder can be used successfully. However, if the temperature exceeds 250F (121C), a low
temperature brazing alloy should be used, with a melting temperature somewhat in excess of 1000F (538C).
According to BMS report No. 58, joints made with tin or tin-alloy solders should not be subject continuously to temperatures above
250F (121C). A number of brazing alloys are available and a careful study should be made in every case to determine the proper
alloy for the particular application.
*The Safe Drinking Water Act Amendment of 1986 prohibits the use in potable water systems of any solder having a lead content in excess of 0.2%.

DWV Tube is for sanitary drainage


applications. The tubing wall is thinner than
Type M making it both lighter and less
expensive. Research indicates that DWV tube
has a service life of approximately 100 years
considerably longer than any building in
which it might be installed.
The advantages of copper systems are
augmented in DWV installations. Its light
weight makes handling and transportation
easier only 0.34 lb. (0.15 kg) for a 20 ft. (6.1
m) length of size 3. Its thinner wall allows
faster soldering.
These advantages offer an economical option
without sacrificing stability or longevity for
both contractor and the home owner. Further
information will be furnished on request from
NIBCOs Technical Services Department, at
1-888-446-4226

Copper Water Tube continued


Under normal conditions, the physical properties of copper tubes, when produced by responsible manufacturers are perfectly adapted
for the conveyance of hot and cold water, steam, oil, gas, and air. Copper tubes will stand up under ordinary conditions, but the user
is specifically cautioned against laying underground tube in cinderfill, especially if the ground is apt to be wet. Due to the sulphur
compounds in the cinders, a condition of this kind may corrode the outside of the tubes. This may be overcome either by wrapping the
tube with canvas and asphaltum or by surrounding the tube with a bed of clean sand mixed with lime, or with limestone or broken
plaster. When conditions are doubtful, it is advisable to consult the Copper Development Association, or the tube manufacturer.
Annealed copper tubes are generally recommended for underground use. 1/2" annealed copper tubes have been frozen as many as six
times before finally bursting, eight times for 1" size, and eleven times for 2" size. Hard drawn copper tubes, however, burst during the
first freezing the same as iron pipe. (Condensed from Copper Tube Handbook.)

of BTUs (kilojoules) required to heat the water content only of 10 feet (3.05 metres) of
the given tube and pipe 100F (38C). It requires 833.6 BTUs (879.5 kJ) to heat 1 gallon
(3.875 litres) of water 100F (38C).
COLUMN G: These figures are calculated from Column D and show the number of BTUs
(kJ) required to raise the temperature of 10 feet (3.05 metres) of empty tube and pipe
100F (38C). Due to difference in the specific heat of the materials, it requires 9.4 BTUs
(9.9 kJ) to raise 1 pound (0.454 kilograms) of copper 100F (38C) and 11.0 BTUs (11.6
kJ) to raise 1 pound (0.454 kilograms) of iron 100F (38C).

COLUMN H: This column shows the heat emission from 10 feet (3.05 metres) of the given
tube and pipe placed horizontally. The column in terms of BTUs lost per hour (kilojoules
lost per hour) for each degree of difference in temperature between the pipe and the
surrounding air. The figures for iron are taken from experimental data obtained at the
Mellon Institute. Figures for copper have been calculated with reference to those for iron
on the basis of the known ratio of heat emission between the two materials.
COLUMN I: This column shows the number of gallons (litres) of water which will flow
through 100 feet (30.48 metres) of the given tube and pipe with a pressure loss of
10 pounds per square inch (70 kilopascals). Flow is based on diameters in Column B
according to Professor Dawsons formulae for NEW galvanized iron pipe and NEW
copper tube. Due to the corrosion of iron and its tendency to accumulate sediments and
other foreign matter, Prof. Dawson suggests that 15% be deducted from the figures for
iron pipe in order to arrive at a reasonable performance expectancy for such pipe in
service. Because copper resists rust and is inherently more smooth, Professor Dawson
suggests a deduction of only 5% from the figures given for copper tube.

EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION


In the majority of low-pressure heating systems employing copper
tube and installed in small houses or private dwellings, provision
for expansion and contraction is relatively simple. Mains, risers,
and branches to radiators should be free or floating at one end of
the line. Holes should be large enough to permit free movement of
the tube, and care should be exercised so that pipe hangers and
supports permit unrestricted movement and do not anchor the tube.
Wrought copper tube hangers that are both practicable and neat in
appearance are available.
Unusually long runs of copper tubing should be provided with an
expansion bend or loop. By bending soft temper copper tube, a
simple form of expansion loop can be made. With the addition of
combination flared-tube to solder joint fittings, as illustrated in
Figure 1, these types of loops can be used when space or other
limitations exist. The correct proportions of such expansion loop to
meet various conditions are shown in the accompanying table.
The above chart is calculated using 10ft (3.05m) of copper tubing
as the reference point. You may use it as follows: 100ft (30.5m) of
copper tube, with a 200F (93.3C) temperature change. Reference
point .2256 inches for 10ft, (5.73mm for 3.05m), multipy by 10 for
100ft (30.5m), resulting in an answer of 2.256 inches (57.3mm) of
expansion or contraction.
NOTE: Calculations for expansion and contraction should be
based on the average coefficient of expansion of copper which is
0.0000094 per F (0.00001692 per C) between 77F and 212F
(25C and 100C). For example, the expansion for each 10ft (3.05m)
of any size of tube heated from room temperature of 70F (21.1C) to
170F (76.7C), that is, 100F (55.6C) rise, is:

Copper Water Tube continued


SELECTION OF TUBE SIZES
The smooth interior of copper tube, and the design of both solder joint and flared-tube-type fittings, which have no shoulders projecting into
the flow of water, decrease friction loss. With the use of copper tube, no allowance is necessary for the accumulation of rust deposits in supply
and service lines. Consequently, copper tube lines are usually figured one size smaller than iron pipe for the same service. This rule does not
apply to lines from a well to a pump where the nominal diameters specified by the pump manufacturer must be adhered to strictly.
Water passing through any pipe line encounters resistance by friction. The resistance is increased by bends and turns in the line, which should
be taken into account in complex piping systems. For example, a one-inch 90 elbow will cause friction loss equivalent to that of one foot
(0.305m) of straight one-inch tube. (See below for allowance to be made for fittings and valves in equivalent lengths of tube.) Friction loss in
terms of head loss must be taken into consideration in calculating tube sizes to be used for various types of installations.
For most average-size-house installations with water pressures 40 PSI (275.8kPa) and higher, 3/4" copper tube will be ample for main supply
lines, and 1/2" copper tube can be used for risers and branches to all fixtures. The smaller 3/8" tube is adequate to supply branches, but with
pressures at 40 PSI (275.8kPa) and higher, water hammer becomes a concern when the flow is suddenly stopped.

The Fine Art


of Soldering
When adjoining surfaces of copper and copper alloys meet under proper conditions of cleanliness and temperature,
solder will make a perfect adhesion. The strength of joint is equal to or even greater than the strength of tube alone.
Surface tension seals the joint. Capillary attraction draws solder into, around, and all about the joint. Its easy to learn
to make a perfect solder joint when you use NIBCO Fittings.
WITH 95-5 SOLDER AND INTERMEDIATELY CORROSIVE FLUX

82

1. Cut tube end square, ream, burr and size.

2. Use sand cloth or steel wire brush to clean tube and cup to a
bright metal finish.

3. Apply solder flux to outside of tube and inside of cup


of fitting carefully so that surfaces to be joined are completely
covered. Use flux sparingly.

4. Apply flame to the fitting to heat tube and solder cup of fitting
until solder melts when placed at joint of tube and fitting.

5. Remove flame and feed solder into the joint at one or


two points until a ring of solder appears at the end of the fitting.
The correct amount of solder is approximately equal to 11/ 2 the
diameter of the fitting 3/4" (20mm) solder for 1/2" fitting, etc.

6. Remove excess solder with a small brush or wiping cloth while


the solder is plastic.

The Fine Art


of Brazing
Best results will be obtained by a skilled operator employing the step-by-step brazing technique that follows:
1. The tube should be cut to desired length with a square cut,
preferably in a square-end sawing vise. The cutting wheel of the
type specifically designed for cutting copper tube will also do a
satisfactory job. The tube should be the exact length needed, so that
the tube will enter the cup of the fitting all the way to the shoulder
of the cup. Remove all slivers and burrs left from cutting the tube, by
reaming and filing, both inside and outside.
2. To make a proper brazing joint, the clearance between the solder cup
and the tube should be approximately 0.001" to 0.010" (0.0254mm to
0.254mm). Maintaining a good fit on parts to be brazed insures:
Ease of Application Excessively wide tolerances tend to break
capillary force; and, as a result the alloy will either fail to flow
throughout the joint or may flush out of the joint.
Corrosion Resistance There is also a direct relation between the
corrosion resistance of a joint and the clearance between members.
Economy If brazing alloys are to be used economically, they,
of necessity, must be applied in the joint proper and in minimum
quantities, using merely enough alloy to fill the area between the
members.
3. The surfaces to be joined must be clean and free from oil, grease
and heavy oxides. The end of the tube need be
cleaned only for a distance slightly more
than it is to enter the
cup. Special wire
brushes designed
to clean tube ends
may be used, but
they should be
carefully used so
that an excessive
amount of metal
will not be removed
from
the tube. Fine sand
cloth or emery
cloth may also be used with the same precautions.
The
cleaning should not be done with steel wool, because of the
likelihood of leaving small slivers
of the
steel or
oil in the joint.
4. The cup of the fitting
should be cleaned by
methods similar to
those used for the
tube end, and care
should be observed
in removing residues of
cleaning medium. Attempting

a contaminated or an improperly cleaned surface will result in an


unsatisfactory joint. Brazing alloys will not flow over or bond to
oxides; and oily or greasy surfaces tend to repel fluxes, leaving bare
spots which will oxidize, resulting in voids and inclusions.
5. Flux should be applied to
the tube and solder cup
sparingly and in a fairly
thin consistency. Avoid
flux on areas not cleaned.
Particularly avoid getting
excess flux into the inside
of the tube itself. Flux has
three principal functions
to perform:
A. It prevents the
oxidation of the metal surfaces during the heating operation by
excluding oxygen.
B. It absorbs and dissolves residual oxides that are on the surface
and those oxides which may form during the heating operation.
C. It assists in the flow of the alloy by presenting a clean nascent
surface for the melted alloy to flow over. In addition, it is an
excellent temperature indicator, especially if an indicating flux is
used.
6. Immediately after fluxing, the parts to be brazed should be
assembled. If fluxed
parts are allowed to
stand, the water in
the flux will
evaporate, and dried
flux is liable to flake
off, exposing the
metal surfaces to
oxidation from the
heat. Assemble the
joint by inserting the
tube into the cup,
hard against the stop. The assembly should be firmly supported so
that it will remain in alignment during the brazing operation.

7. Brazing is started by applying heat to the parts to be joined. The


preferred method is by the oxyacetylene flame. Propane and other
gases are sometimes used on smaller sizes. A slightly reducing
flame should be used, with a slight feather on the inner blue cone;
the outer portion of the flame, pale green. Heat the tube first,
beginning at about one inch from the edge of the fitting. Sweep
the flames around the tube in short strokes up and down at right
angles to the run of the tube. It is very important that the flame be in
continuous motion and should not be allowed to remain on any one
point to avoid burning through the tube. Generally, the flux may be
used as a guide as to how long to heat the tube, continuing heating
after the flux starts to bubble or work, and until the flux becomes
quiet and transparent, like clear water. The flux will pass through
four stages:
A. At 212F (100C) the water boils off.
B. At 600F (315.6C) the flux becomes white and slightly puffy and
starts to work.
C. At 800F (426.7C) it lays against the surface and has a milky
appearance.
D. At 1100F (593.3C) it is completely clear and active and has
the appearance of water.
8. Now switch the flame to the fitting
the base of the cup. Heat uniformly,
sweeping the flame from the
fitting to the tube until the flux
on the fitting becomes quiet.
Avoid excessive heating
of cast fittings.

at

9. When the flux appears liquid


and transparent
on both the tube and the fitting,
start sweeping
the flame back and forth along
the axis of the
joint to maintain heat on the parts to be joined, especially toward
the base of the cup of the fitting. The flame must be kept moving to
avoid burning the tube or the fitting.
10. Apply the brazing wire or rod at a point where the tube enters the
socket of the fitting. The temperature of
the joint should be
hot enough to melt the brazing alloy. Keep
the flame
away from the rod or wire as it is fed
into
the joint. Keep both the fitting and
the tube heated by moving the
flame back and forth from one
to the other as the alloy is
drawn into the joint. When
the proper temperature is
reached, the alloy will flow
readily into the
space between the tube outer
wall and the
fitting socket, drawn in by the
natural force of
capillary attraction. When the joint
is
filled, a
continuous fillet of brazing alloy will be visible completely around
the joint. Stop feeding as soon as the joint is filled, using table on
page 54 as a guide for the alloy consumption.

84

NOTE: For tubing one inch and larger, it


is difficult to bring the whole joint up to
heat at one time. It frequently will be
found desirable to use a double-tip torch
to maintain the proper temperature over
the larger area. A mild pre-heating of
the whole fitting is recommended. The
heating then can proceed as in steps 7,
8, 9, and 10. If difficulty is encountered
in getting the whole joint up to heat at
one time, then when the joint is nearly
up to the desired temperature the alloy
is concentrated in a limited area. At the
brazing temperature the alloy is fed into
the joint and the torch is then moved to an
adjacent area and the operation carried on
progressively all around the joint.
HORIZONTAL JOINTS When making
horizontal joints, it is preferable to
start applying the brazing alloy at
the 5 oclock position, then move
around to the 7 oclock position and
then move up the sides to the top
of the joint, making sure that the
operations overlap.
VERTICAL JOINTS On vertical
joints, it is immaterial where the
start is made. If the opening of the
cup is pointed down, care should be taken to avoid overheating the
tube, as this may cause the alloy to run down the tube. If this condition
is encountered, take the heat away and allow the alloy to set. Then
reheat the solder cup of the fitting to draw up the alloy.
After the brazing alloy has set,
remove residual flux from the
joint area as it is corrosive and
presents an unclean appearance and
condition. Hot water or steam and
a soft cloth should be used. Wrot
fittings may be chilled; however it
is advisable to allow cast fittings to
cool naturally to some extent before
applying a swab. All flux must be
removed before inspection and pressure testing.

TROUBLE SPOTS
If the alloy fails to flow or has a tendency to ball up, it indicates
oxidation on the metal surfaces, or insufficient heat on the parts
to be joined. If work starts to oxidize during heating, it indicates
too little flux, or a flux of too thin consistency. If the brazing alloy
refuses to enter the joint and tends to flow over the outside of either
member of the joint, it indicates this member is overheated, or the
other is underheated, or both. In both cases, operations should be
stopped and the joints disassembled, recleaned and fluxed.

Polybutylene
Tubing
FITTING SYSTEM INSERT/CRIMP TYPE MADE BY NIBCO

Making a Connection
1. Using a tube cutter, cut tubing squarely and remove burrs.

2. Slide copper crimp ring on tubing. Only copper crimp rings should be
used to ensure the highest quality connection.

3. Insert fitting into tubing, then position crimp ring squarely


over barbs. Proper alignment is important for making the
best connection.

4. Center the crimping tool jaws exactly over the ring, and bring
the tool handles together until totally closed to the stop indicator. Check
each crimp ring with the caliper gauge after completion.
If the small flats on the gauge do not fit over the crimped ring,
the ring is undercrimped. Cut out any undercrimped rings and fittings,
and completely replace.

TOOLS AND RINGS


Use tools recommended by fitting and tubing manufacturers.
All tools must make a full-circle crimp.
Check tool adjustment at least daily, and readjust as necessary.
Use crimp rings of copper as recommended by NIBCO INC.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Q:
A:

Q:
A:

What is the pressure rating of a given fitting?


Fittings are rated per Table 1 of ASME B16.22. The system rated
pressure shall be the lowest of the fitting, tube or joint.

When copper fails in a system, what is the problem?


MOST COMMON:
1. Velocity fluid is moving too fast. Recommendation:
2-3 fps (0.0508-0.0762 m/s) hot water 140F, 5-8 fps (0.1270.2032 m/s) cold water. Refer to pages 68-93.
2. Turbulence burrs left on the cut tubing causes a tumbling
effect causing localized erosion and eventual failure.
3. Aggressive Waters tend to cause pitting or green staining
of fixtures. Aggressive, hard well waters that cause pitting
typically are found to have total dissolved solids including
suflates and chlorides, a pH in the range of 7.2 to 7.8, a high
content of carbon dioxide gas and the pressence of dissolved
oxygen gas. Soft acidic waters that cause green staining
typically tend to be more corrosive. Low alkalinity, low
mineralization, pH levels of 7 or lower should be avoided.
LESS COMMON:
1. Flux Corrosion using too much flux when making
joints can potentially leave residue and cause isolated
corrosion. Flux should be used sparingly and system adequately
flushed.
2. Electrolysis stray (D.C.) current; inadequate grounding for the
piping.
3. Sand or other solid particulates erosion/corrosion problems
can occur. Lower velocities must be maintained
if solids are present in flow media.
4. Galvanic Corrosion destruction of a material by
electrochemical interaction between the environment
and the material.

Q:
A:

86

Q:
A:

Q:
A.

Can dissimilar metals (i.e., copper and iron) be joined together


without use of dielectric insulators to prevent corrosion?
In most situations dissimilar metals (copper/iron/steel) can be
joined successfully without using dielectric insulators. Factors to
consider:
1. The composition of the two metals.
2. The rate of liquid flow past the two metals.
3. Chemicals in the water which could enhance or destroy
protective films.
4. The relative areas of the two metals - unless the surface area
of the less noble (steel) material is less that 5% of the more
noble (copper) material, the need for a dielectric separator is
not needed. (Failures due to galvanic corrosion are very unusual
and only occur under very strict conditions.)
5. Local code requirements.

What should the installer of copper unions know and do in order to


assure a proper leak-free installation?
The following should be done:
1. Make sure the ground-joint(mating area of unions tail and
thread pieces) are free of nicks and scratches.
2. Spray the ground-joint area with a food grade silicone spray or
apply bees wax to enhance seating.
3. Make sure alignment of line does not put lateral stress on the
ground-joint seal.
4. Make sure that excess solder (droplets) do not reach the
ground-joint area.

Copper tubing wall thickness is designated K, L or M. What


are the copper fittings applicable to?
Copper fittings wall thickness is determined by standards (ASME
B-16:22 and MSS-SP-104). These standards address minimum wall
thickness (per size) for the full range of copper fittings and are not
intended to match tubing wall thicknesses.
