This Standard provides requirements for fittings suitable for press-connect joining and covers the following:
(a) terminology
(b) size designations
(c) marking
(d) material
(e) dimensions and tolerances
(f) required installation instructions
(g) pressure-temperature ratings
(h) design qualification
