INTRODUCTION
Since primitive man
discovered copper, the red
constantlv served the
has
nt of
civilization. Archaeoloeists
ancient ruins have thar this
enduring mctal was a great to
many peoples. Tools for
agricultrne, weapons for
articles for decorative and
uses were wrought from by
early civilizations. The who
built the great pyramid for
Pharaoh Cbeoos fashioned
Egyptian
ft and
and
Modern technology, recognizing
that no material is superior to copper for
conveying water, has reconfirmed it
as the prime material for such pruposes.
Years of trouble-free service in
installations here and akoad have built
a new reputation for copper piping in its
modem fonn--"light, strong, corrosion
resistant tube. It serves all kinds of
buildings: single-family homes, high-
rise apartrnents and industial,
commerical ald olfice buildings.
Today, copper tube for the
plumbing heating and air-conditioning
industries is available in drawn and
annealed terrpers (referred to in ihe
trades as 'hard" and '3oft') and in a
wide range of diameten and wall
thicknesses. Readily available fittings
serve wery design application. Joint
are simple, reliable and economical to
make---additional reasons for selecting
coprper tube.
TodaS nearly 5,000 years after
Cheops, copper dwelopments continue
as the indusby pione€rs broader uses

anda testimonial to copper's
r€sistance to corrosion.
UNDERSTANDING COPPER TUBE
I. STANDARD TUBES
Long lasting copper tube is a
favorite choice for plumbin!, heating,
q6eling and other systems, lin the
United States, it is manufach[ed to
meet the requirements of specifications
established by the American Society
for Testing and Materials (.A.STM).
All tube supplied to these ASTM
standards is a minimum of 99.9 percant
pure copper. The copper cugtomarily
used for tube supplied to thpse
specifications is deoxidize{ with
phosphorus and referred to as CI2200
(Copper No. 122) or DHP' Copper.
Other coppers may also be used.
Types ol Copper Tube
Table 1, page 20, identifies
the six standard types of dopper tube
and their most common abplications.'
The table also shows the ASTM
Standard appropriate to tlle use of
each type along with a listing of its
commercially available lengths, sizes
and tempers.
Types K, L, M, D\4V and
Medical Gas tube arc designated by
ASTM standard sizes, with the actual
outside diameter always '/p-inch larger
than the standard size desi,gnation. Each
t]?e represents a series of sizes with
different wall thicknesses. Type K tube
has thicker walls than Type L hrbe, and
Tlpe L walls are thicker than Type M,
for any given diameter. All inside
diameters depend on tube size and wall
thickness.
Copper tube for air-conditioning
and refrigeration field service (ACR) is
desipated by actual outside diameter.
"Temper" describes the strength
and har&ress of the tube. In the piping
trades, drawn temper hrbe is often
referred to as "hard" tube and arurealed
as "soff' tube. Tube in the hard temper
condition is usually joined by soldering
or brazing rsing capillary fittings or
by welding.
Tube in the soft temper can be
joined by the same techniques and
is also commonly joined by the use
of flare-type and compression fittings.
It is also possible to expand the end of
one tube so that it can bejoined to
another by soldering or brazing without
a capillary fitting- a procedure that can
be efficient and economical in manv
installations.
Tube in both the hard and soft
tempers can also be joined by a variety
of "mechanical" joints that can be
assembled without the use ofthe heat
souce required for soldering and brazing.
Properties
The dimensions and other
physical characteristics ofTypes K, L,
M and DWV tube are given in Tables
2a, b, c and d, pages 2l-22. All four
types are used for both pressure and
non-pressure applications within the
range of their respective safe working
pressures as described in Tables 3a, b,
c and d on pages 25-26.
The dimensions and physical
characteristics of ACR hrbe and
Medical Gas tnbe are given in Tables
2e and f, pages 23-24.
ldenlification of Copper Tube
Copper tube, Types K L, M,
DWV and Medical Gas, musr be
permanently marked (incised) in
accordance with its goveming
specifications to show tube type, the
name or trademark of the manufacturer,
and the couniry of origin. In addition to
incised markings, hard tube will have
this information printed on it in a color
which distinguishes its tube type (See
Table 1). Soft ACR tube may not carry
any incised or color markings. Hard
ACR obe is color marked only.
' Phosphorous-Deoxidized, High R*idual Phosphorous Copper
: Therc are many other copperand copper alloy tubes and pipesaloilable for spccialized applications. For more information on thcse producls

II. SELECTING THE RIGHT TUBE FOR THE JOB
Advanlages of Copper Tube
Strong corrosion tesistant, copper
tube is the leading choice ofmodem
contactors for plumbing heating and
cooling installations in all kinds of
residential and commercial buildings.
There are seven primary reasons for this:
1 . Copper is economicaL Tlte
combination of easy handling, forming
and joining permits savings in insallation
time, material and overall costs. l,ong-
term performance and reliability mean
fewer callbaclc, and that makes copper
the ideal cost-efective hrbing material-
2. Copper is lightweight Copper
tube does not require the heavy thickness
of fenous or tlreaded pipe of the same
intemal diameter. This means copper
costs less to hanspo4 handles more
easily and, when installed, takes less
space.
3. Copper is formcDle Becanse
copper tube can be bent and formed, it
is fiequently possible to eliminate elbows
and joints. Smooth bends permit the tube
to follow conioun and comers of almost
any angle. With soft temper tube,
particularly when used for renovation or
modemization projects, much less wall
and ceiling space is needed.
4. Copper is easy to join Copper
tube can bejoined with capillary fittings.
These fittings save material and make
smooth, neat, strong and leak-proofjoints.
No extra thickness or weight is necessuy
to compensate for material removed by
threading.
5. Copper is safe Copper tube will
not bum or support combustion and de-
compose to toxic gases. Therefore, it will
not carry fire tfuough floors, walls and
ceilings. Volatile organic compourds are
not required for installation.
6. Copper is dependable. Copper
tube is manufactued to well-defined
composition standards and marked with
permanent identification so you know
exactly what it is and who made it. It is
accepEd by vfutually every ph:rnbing code.
7. Copper resists conosion
Excellent resistance to conosion and
scaling assures long, touble-free service,
which means satisfied customen.
Minimum Recommendations for
Various Applications
It is up to the designer to select the
type ofcopper tube for use in a particr.rlar
application. Stengtll formability and other
mechmical factors oftat determine the
choice. Plumbing and mechanical codes
govem v/hat types may be used. When a
choice can be made, it is helpfirl to know
which type ofcopper tube has and can
serve successfully and economically in
the following applications:
Underg ro und ll/ate r S emices-
Use Type M hard for staight lengths
joined with fittings, and Type L soft
where coils are more convenient.
llater Distribution Systems-
Use Type M for above and below ground.
Chilled lYater Mains-Use Tvoe
M for all sizes.
Drainage and Vent Systems-
Use Type DWV for above- and below-
ground waste, soil and vent lines, roof
and building drains and sewers.
Heating-For ndiant panel and
hydronic heating and for snow melting
systems, use Type L soft temper where
coils are formed in place or prefrbricatd
Type M where straight lengths are used.
For water heating and low-pressrue steam,
use Type M for all sizes. For condensate
retum lineq Type L is successfully used.
S o Inr H e at ing-See Heating
section above. For information on solar
installation and on solar collectors,
write CDA. (See also page i5.)
Fuel Oil, LP. dnd Natural Gas
.Servr'ces-Use Type L or Type ACR
tube with flaredjoints in accessible
locations and brazed joints made using
AWS A5.8 BAg series brazing filler
metals in concealed locatiors.
Nonflammable Medical Gas
Systenrs-Use Medical Gas tube Types
K or L, suitably cleaned for oxygen
service per NFPA Staudard No. 99,
Health Care Facilities.
Air-Conditioning and
ReJrige ral ion Systems-lopper is the
preferred material for use with most
refrigerants. Use Types L, ACR or as
specified.
Groand Source Heat Pump
Syslezrs-Use Types L or ACR where
the grormd coils are formed in place or
profabricated, or as specified.
Fire Sprinkler Systems-Use
Type M hard. Where bending is required,
Types K or L arc recommended Types
I( L and M are all accepted by NFPA.
Low Temperalure Applicotions -
Use copper tube ofType determined by
rated intemal working pressures al room
tempemture as shown in Table 3. Copper
hrbe retains excellent ductility at low
temperahrcs to -452"F and leld
stength and tensile strength increase as
temperattue is reduced to this point. This
plus its excellent thennal conductivity
makes an unusual combination of
properties for heat exchangen, piping,
and other components in cryogenic
plants and other low temperature
applications.
C ompressed Air--Use copper
tube ofTypes K, L or M determined by
the rated intemal working pressures as
shown in Table 3. BrazedjoinS are
recorffnended.

can be served by a l-inch main.
The sizing of more complex
distribution systems requires deailed
analysis ofeach ofthe sizing design
considerations listed above.
Pres s ur e C on side r alio ns- At
each fixture in the distribution system, a
minimun pressure of 8 psi should be
available for it to function properly-
except that some fixtures require a
higher minimum pressure fm proper
ftnction, for example:
r Flush valve for blow-out and
syphon-jet closets....................25 psi
r Flush valves for water closets
and urinals................,............... I 5 psi
r Sill cocks, hose bibbs and wall
hydrants.................................... l0 psi.
Local codes and practices rnay be
somewhat different from the above and
should always be consulted for
minimurn pressure rcquirements.
The maximum water pressure
available to supply each fixture
depends on the water service pressure
at the point where the building
distribution system (or a segrnent or
zone ofit) begins. This pressure
depands either on local main pressure,
limits set by local codes, pressure
desired by the system designer, or on a
combination of these. In any case, it
should not be higher than about 80 psi
(pounds per square inch).
However, the entire water service
pressure is not available at each fixhrre
due to pressue losses inherent to the
system. The pressure losses include
losses in flow tkough the water meter,
static losses in lifting water to higher
elevations in the system, and friction
losses encountered in flow tbrough
piping, fittings, valves and equipment.
Some ofthe service pressure is
lost immediately in flow tbrough the
water meter, if there is one. The amormt
ofloss depends on the relationshrp
between flow rate and tube size. Desien
crwos and table showing these
relationships appear in most model
codes and are available from meter
manufactureB.
Some of the main pressure will
also be lost in lifting the water to the
highest fixture in the system. The height
difference is measured starting at the
meter, or at whatever other point
represeDts the slart ofthe system (or the
segment or zone) being considered. To
account for this, multiply the elevation
ofthe highest fixhue, in feet, by the
factor 0.434, the pressure exerted by a
l-foot column of water. This will give
the pressure in psi needed to raise the
water to that level. For example, a
difference in height of30 feet reduces
the available pressure by 13 psi (30 x
0.434:13.02).
Friction losses in the system, like
losses through the water meter, are
mainly dependent on the flow rate of
the water tbrorqh the system and the
size of the piping. To determine these
losses, water demand (and thus, flow
ratQ ofthe system must first be
deterrnined.
lfater demmd-Each fixture in
lhe system represents a certain demand
for water. Some examples of
approximate water demand in gallons
per minute (gpm) of flow, are:

Adding up nrunbers like these to
cover all the fixtures in an entire
building distribution system wouid give
the total demand for water usage in
gpm, if all of the fixtures were
operating and flowing at the same
time-which of cotnse does not
happen. A reasonable estimate of
demand is one based on the extent to
which various fixtures in the building
might actually be used simultaneously.
Researchers at tle National Institute of
Staodards and Technology shrdied this
question some years ago. They applied
probability theory and field
observations to the real-life problem of
simultaneous usage of plumbing
fixhres.
The result was a system for
estimating total water demand which is
based on reasonable assumptions about
the likelihood of simultaneous usage of
fixhres. Out ofthis study came the
concept of frxture units .
Each type of fixture is assigned a
fixture unit value which reflects (l ) its
demand for water, that is, the flow rate
into the fixture when it is used, (2) the
average time duration offlow when the
fixture is used and (3) the frequency
with which the fixture is likely to be
used. Assigned fixture unit values vary
by jurisdiction. Consult local plumbing
codes for values used in yow area.
Totaling the fixture unit values
for all the fixtures in a systan, or for
any part ofthe distribution system,
gives a measure ofthe load combined
fixtures impose on the plumbing
distribrilion and supply system. This
fixture unit total may be translated into
expected maximum water demand
following the procedure prescribed by
your local code.
Keep in mind the demand
calculations just described apply to
fixtues that are used intermittently.To
this must be added the actual demand in
gpm for any fixtrues which are designed
to run contintrously when they are rn
use; for example, air-conditioning
systems, lawn sprinkler systems and
hose bibbs.
Pressure Losses Due to
Friction---The pressure available to
move the water through the distribution
system (or a part of it) is the main
pressure minus: (1) the pressure loss in
the meter, (2) the pressure needed to
lift water to the highest fixhre (static
pressure loss), and (3) the pressure
needed at the fixtures themselves. The
remaining available pressue must be
adequate to overcome the pressure
losses due to friction encountered by the
flow of the total demand (intermlttent
plus continuous fixtues) tfuough the
distribution system and its various parts.
The final operation then is to select tube
sizes in accordance with the pressure
losses due to friction.
ln actual practice, the design
operation may involve repealing the
steps in the desip process to readjust
pressure, velocity and size to achieve
the best balance of main pressrue, tube
size, velocity and available pressrue at
the Iixtures for the design flow required
in the various parts ofthe system.
Table 6, page 30, shows the
relationship among flow, pressure
drop due to friction, velocity and tube
size for Types K, L and M copper
water tube. These are the data required
to complete the sizing calculation.
NOTE: Values are not given for flow
rates that exceed the maximum
recommendation for copper tube,
For the tube sizes above aboru
l'ln inch, there is virhrally no difference
among the three types of tube in terms
of pressure loss. This is because the
differences in cross sectional area of
these types become insignificant as tube
size incrcases. ln fact, for this reason, the
value for Type M tube given in Table 6
can be used for DWV tube as well.
Pressure loss values in Table 6
are given per linear foot oftube. In
measuring the length ofa system or
of any of its parts, the total length of
Ube must be measured, and for close
estimates, an additional amount must be
added on as an allowance for the extra
friction losses that occur as a result of
valves and fittings in the line. Table 7,
page 32, shows these allowances for
various sizes and lpes ofvalves and
fittings.
|later Velocity Limitations -To avoid excessive system noise and
the possibility of erosion+onosion, the
designer should not exceed flow
velocities of 8 feet per second for cold
water and 5 feet per second in hot water
up to approximately 140'F. ln systems
where water temp eratures rontinely
exceed 140'F, lower flow velocities
such as 2 to 3 feet per second should not
be exceeded. In addition, where l/2-inch
and smaller tube sizes are used, to guard
against localized high velocity nubulence
due to possibly faulty workmanship
(e.g. buns at tube ends which were not
properly reamed/debuned) or rmunrally
numerous, abrupt changes in flow
direction. lower velocities should be
considered. Locally aggressive water
conditions can combine with these
two considerations to cause erosion-
conosion ifsystem velocities are too high.
Due to constant circulation and
elevated water temperatures, particular
attention should be paid to water
velocities in circulating hot water
systems. Both the supply and rerum
piping should be sized such that ttre
maximum velocity does not exceed the
above recommendations. Care should
be taken to enswe that the circulating
punp is not oversized, and that fie
retum piping is not undersized, both
conmon occurences in installed piping
systems.
Table 6 applies to copper tube
only, and should not be used for other
plumbing materials. Other materials
require additional allowances for
conosion, scaling and, cak,tng which
are not necessary for copper. Tttis ts
because copper normally maintains its
smooth bore tkoughor.rt its service life.
lt
Pressure Ralings and B
Strenglh
As for all materials. thb allowable
intemal pressure for any copper tube
in service is based on the forrnula
used in the American SocietiT of
Mechanical Engineers Code] for
Pressure Piping (ASME 831):

where:

&e B3l code perrnits the fabtor C to be

The value of S in thelformula is

the tube material. It is only aJsmall
fraction of copper's ultimatd tensile
stength or ofthe bunt stenlth ofcopper
tube and has been mnfirme$ to be safe by
yean ofsewice experience End testing.
The allowable sfess value depends on the
service temperahrc and on lhe temper of
the tube. drawn or annealedl
ln Tables 3a, b, c arld d, pages
25-26, the rated intemal wbrking
pressures are shown for bdth annealed
(soft) and drawn (hard) Tlpes K, L, M
and DWV copper h.rbe fo4 service
temperatures fiom 100'F to 400'F. The
ratings for drawn hrbe cari be used for
soldered syslems and sysqbms using
properly designed mechahical joints.
Fiftings manufacturen cad provide
information about the strehgth of their
various brpes and sizes offittings.
When welding or blazing is used
to join nrbes, the annealed ratings must
be used, since the heating involved in
these joining processes 'ivill anneal
(soften) the hard nrbe. Thi$ is the reason
that annealed ratings are shown in
Tables 3c for Type M anH 3d for DWV
hrbe, although they are not firmished in
the annealed temper. Table 3e, page 27,
lists allowable intemal working
pressures forACR tube.
In designing a system, joint
ratings must also be considered,
because the lower of the two ratings
(tube or joint) will govem the
installation. Most hrbing systems are
joined by soldering or brazing. Rated
intemal working presnres for such
joints are shown in Table 4, page 28.
These ratings are for all types oftube
with standard solder joint pressure
fittings and DWV fittings. ln soldered
[$ing systems, the rated strength ofthe
joint often govems design.
When brazing, use the ratings for
annealed tube found in Tables 3a-3e as
brazing softens (anneals) the tube near
thejoints (the heat a{fected zone). Joint
ratings at saturated steam temperatures
are shown in Table 4.
The pressures at which copper
tube will actually burst are many times
the rated working pressures. Compare
the acnral values in Table 5, page 29,
with the rated working pressures found
in Tables 3a-3c, pages 25-26. The very
conservative working presswe ratings
give added assurance that pressurized
systerns will operate successfully for
long periods of time. The much higher
burst pressules measured in tesls
indicate that hrbes are well able to
withstand unpredictable pressure surges
that may occur during the long service
life of the system. Similar conservative
principles were applied in aniving at
ihe working pressures for brazed and
soldered joints. The allowable stesses
for the soldered joints assure joint
integrity under full rated load for
extended periods of time. Short-term
strength and bulst pressures for soldered
joints are many times higher. In
addition, safety margins were factored
into calculating the joint stengths.
Drainage Plumbing Syslems
The design and installation of
drainage systems range from simple to
complex, depending on the type of
building, the local code and the
occupancy requirements. The local
plumbing code will include
requirements for acceptable materials,
installation and inspection, and these
must be followed as the first
requirement ofan acceptable job.
There are usually diflbrences-
sometimes minor, sometimes quite
important-among plumbing codes.
Among the feahres which differ from
code !o code may be minimum tube
sizes, permissible connected fi xh:re
loads, fittings and connections, methods
ofventing srpports and testing. Few
codes are completely specific about
installation details and leave the
responsibility of proper and suitable
installartion to the designer and the
contractor.
ln large and multistory buildings,
the design will generally require the
services ofa mechanical engineer and a
phrmbing designer. The plumbing
designer has the responsibility for
coordinating the drainage system design
within the overall building construction
requtemeots. A good dninage design
must accomrnodate the problems of
installation space, building movement,
support, expansion and contraction, pipe
slewes, offsets and provisions for
necessary maintenance.
In residential buildings and small
one- and two-story commercial
buildings, the dninage piping is usually
straightforward in design and simple in
installation. Type DWV copper tube,
installed with good workmanship by an
experienced plumber, will provide many
years of trouble-fue service.
The smaller diameter of DWV
hrbe and fittings makes it possible to
install copper drainage systems where
other competing piping materials would
be impossible, difficult or more costly.
For example, a 3-inch copper stack has
only a 3%-inch outside diameter at the
fitting and can be installed in a 3rl'-inch
cavity wall.
Prefa brtcaio n-lonsiderable
savings can be effected by prefabricating
copper DWV subassemblies. Prefabrica-
tion permits work even when adverse
weather prohibits activity on thejob site.
Simple, inexpensive jigs can be made
to position the nrbe and {ittings during
assembly and help eliminate costly
dimen^sional enors. Frredom of movement

at the bench pernits joints to be made more
readily than at the point ofinstallation,
where working space may be limited.
Soldered joints are strong and
rigid. Subassemblies can be handled
without fear ofdamage. The lightweight
features ofcopper DWV tube and
fittings make it possible to handle fair$
large assemblies. Other dependable
drainage plumbing materials may
weigh three to fou times as much.
Subassemblies require a mrnimum of
support when connected to a previously
installed section ofa drahage system.
Copper DWV tube has been used
successftllly for years in all parts of
drainage plumbing systems for high-rise
buildings-for soil and vent stacls and
for soil, waste and vent branches.
Copper tube's light weight and the ease
with which it can be prefabricated have
been especially imponant in hrgh-rise
drainage systems.
Expansion of DlV'l/ Systems- \n
high-rise buildings, expansion and
contraction ofthe stack should be
considered in the design. Possible
movement ofa copper tube stack as the
temperahue of the stack changes is
about 0.001 inch per degree I' per
lO-foot floor. (See Figure 3, page 34.)
This is slightly more than for iron and
steel pipe and considerably less than
for plastic.
Since length, temperahrre
changes and piping design itself are all
involved in expansion, the designer
must determine the best way to take
care ofexpansion in any particular
irsallation. One simple procedr.re for
controlling thermal movement is to
anchor the stack. Anchoring at every
eighth floor will take care ofan
anticipated maximum temperatrue rise
of 50oF; anchoring every four floors
will take care of a 100'F maximum
temperahre rise. Care should be taken
to avoid excessive stresses in the stack
anchon or structure caused by thermal
growth ofthe stack.
Perhaps the simplest effective
anchor, when the stack passes through
concrete flooru, is to use pipe clamps and
soldered fittings as shown in Figure l.
The pipe clamps can be placed above
and below the floor, backed up by
sliding the fittings tight agairrst the
clamps and soldering them in place. At
all floors between anchors, sleeves in the
concrete floors should be used to nrevent
lateral movement of the tube.

Hyclrostatic Testing of DIIV
Sysrenrs-While a copper drainage
system is not ordinarily operated under
pressure conditions, it must withstand
the pressrue ofa hydrostatic test. The
allowable pressu€s for copper DWV
tube and solderedjoints are given in
Table 3d, page 26, and in Table 4,
page 28, respectively.
To determine the vertical height
that can be statically pressrue tested
(with water) in one segment, take the
lowest applicable figrue from Table 3d
and Table 4 and multiply by 2.3. (A 2.3-
foot column of water creates a pressue
of I psi.) For example, if50-50 tinlead
solder is used and the largest nrbe size is
4-inch at a service temperature of l00oF,
multiply 80 (the lower of the solder joint
rating of 80 in Table 4 and the tube
rating of257 in Table Jd) by 2.3; the
result is 184. Thus, a 184-foot vertical
segment ofstack could be tested at once.
lf 95-5 tin-antimony solder is the
joining material, the lower of the cone-
sponding rating for 4-inch tube from
the tables, 257 (tfie tube govems) is
multiplied by 2.3, equaling 591 . Thus,
theoretically, 591 feet (59 ien-fool stories)
couldbe tested at once. Ifthejoint is
brazed, the value from Table 3d for
annealed tube (150) govems. This value
multiplied by 2.3 equals 345 feet, or only
34 stories at once. The actual vertical
segrnent height tested is usually much
less and depends on pmctical corsidera-
tions on the iob.
Copper Tube for Healing Systems
Copper hrbe is popular for heating
systems in both new and remodeled
buildings. Contractors have learned
through experience that, all factors
considered, copper tube remains
superior to any substitute material. The
advantages oflight weight, choice of
tempe6, Iong-term reliability, and ease
ofjoining, bending and handling are of
rnajor importance.
For example, where rigidity and
appearance are factors, drawn tube is
recommended. Annealed tube is
particularly suitable for panel heating
snow melting, and short runs to
radiators, convecton and the like. with
annealed rube the need for fittings is
reduced to a minimum, saving
substantial installation labor and material.
Forced circulation hot water
heating systems provide uniform
heating and quick response to changes in
heating load, require little maintenance
and can be easily zoned to provide
different temperature levels throughout
the buildings. These systems ue the
smallest and most economical tube
sizes with solderedjoints and require
little space for the installation. Also, in
combination with the heating system
and where permitted by code, domestrc
hot water can be heated directly-
eliminating the need for a separate
water heater.
Design and installation data for
heating systems are given in The
Heating and Air-Conditioning Guide,
published by the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air-
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), as
well as in literature published by
manufacturers ofboilers and other
heating devices. Those publications
should be consulted for detailed design.
Steam-Heating Rentm Lines-
For steam-heating systems, especially
retum lines, the outstanding corrosion
resistance and non-rusting characteris-
tics ofcopper tube assure tronble-free
service and maintenance oftraps,
valves and other devices. On conden-
sare and hot water retum lhes, it is
r€comnended that lbe last two feet

Radiant Panel Heatin[-A
modem application of an anqient
principle, radiant panel heatipg, can be
used zuccesslirlly in nearly afl types of
structues. In panel systems, low-
temperafure hot water, circullating
through coils or grids of copper tube
embedded in a concrete floof or plaster
ceiling, warms the srufaces dnd the air.
Panel systems offer uniform heating
and comfort, an invisible heqt source,
complete use ofthe floor a(a,
cleanliness and the eliminatibn ofdust-
carrying drafu.
Copper tube is the idepl piping
material for floor and ceiling panels
because of its excellent heatl transfer
characteristics, light weighl long
lengths, conosion resistanc{ and ease
ofbending, joining and han{ling. Soft
temper tube in coils is comrfonly used
for sinuous (cuwed pattem) heating
layouts, since it is easily beSt and j oints
are reduced to a minimum. flard 1smps1
tube is tned for mains, riserb, heaters
and grid-type heating coils.
Location of the heati{g panel is
relatively unimportant for tle comfort
ofrcom occupants, but it d$es depend
on the architech.ual and thermal
characteristics ofthe room. Floor
installations have the adva4tage of low
initial cost and are particu$rly suitable
for garages, schools and chirrches. They
are ganerally designed to oberate at a
maximum zurface temperafrue of 85'F.
Above this temperature, oqcupants
become uncomfortab le.
Ceiling panels can b{ operated at
higher surface temperatureq and heat
output lwels than floor panpls. Heating
panels respond quickly to changes in
heating load, have low therinal storage
and require only a simple cpntrol system.
The hrbe sizes ofhepting coils
chiefly alfect the hydraulids ofthe
heating system and are relNtively
unimportant from the stanilpoint ofheat
ouput ofthe panel. For si{uous floor
coils %-inch, '/z-inch and l/.-inch soft
temper tube are generally ]Lrsed with a
9-inch or l2-inch center-t0-center
spacing. For ceiling panel installations
the sinuous coils are formed of is-inch
soft temper tube with a hrbe spacing of
4 inches or 6 inches. Solderedjoints are
commonly used.
Ground Source Heat Pumps
Air-source heat pumps have
been used for residential and
commercial heating and cooling for
many years. Such units rely on air-
to-air heat exchange through
€vaporator units similar to those used
for air conditioners.
More recent heat pump
technology relies on circulating a
refrigerant through buried copper
tubing for heat exchange. These units
rely on the constancy of the ground
temp€rature below the frost level (about
55oF) for heat transfer and are
considerably more efficient than their
air-source counterparts. They are
known variously by such tems as
ground source, earth-coupled, direct
exchange or geothermal.
The most efficient ground souce
heat pumps use ACR, Type L or
special-size copper tubing bwied in the
ground to transfer heat to or from the
conditioned space. The flexible copper
tube (typically '/o-inch to %-inch) can
be buried in deep vertical holes,
horizontally in a relatively shallow grid
pattern, in a vedical fencelike
arangement in mediumdepth trenches,
or as custom configurations suited to
the installation.
The number of manufachters
which can strpply commerical and
residential ground source units is
constantly growing. Contact the Copper
Development Association Inc. to obtain
the cunent listing.
Nonflammable Medical Gas
Piping Syslems
Safety sandards for oxygen and
other positive-pressure medical gases
reqr.rire the use ofType K or L copper
tube (see ASTM B 819). Special
cleanliness requirements are called for
because oxygen ruder pressrlre may
cause the spontaneous combustion of
some organic oils (the residual of
lubricating oil used during manufacture)
and for the safety ofpatients receiving
medical gases.
Copper tube for medical gas lines
is fumished by the manufacturers
suitably cleaned and capped or plugged.
Care must be taken to prevent
contamination of the system when the
caps or plugs are removed and tube is
installed. The installer must satisf
himself and ihe inspection department
that the cleanliness requiremants ofthe
code have been met.
The following requirements are
based on those found in NFPA Standard
No. 99, Health Care Facilities, 0raprer
4, Gas and Vacurun Systems.
Installation and Testing of
Med.ical Gas Piping Systems-
l. All piping, valves, fittings and
other components for use in all non-
flammable medical gas systems must be
thoroughly cleaned by the manufacturer
to remove oil, grease and other readily
oxidizable materials as if they were
being prepared for oxygen sewice. Use
particular care in storage and handling.
Such malerial mrut be capped or plugged
to prevent recontamination before fnal
assembly. Just prior to final assembly,
the material mrut be examined intemally
for contamination.
r Cleaning must be done in accordance
with the provisions of CGA Pamphlet
G4.1 , Cleaning Equipment for Orygen
Service.
2. All brazed joints in the piping
shall be made trp using brazing filler
metals that bond with the base metals
being brazed and that comply with
Specfication for Brazing Filler Metal,
ANSVAWS A5.8.
r Copper-to-copperjoints shall be made
using a copper-phosphorus brazing
filler metal (BCUP series) without flux.
r Dissimilar metals such as copper and
brass shall bejoined using an
appropriate flux with either a copper-
phosphorus (BCIP series) or a silver
(BAg series) brazing filler metal. Apply
fltu sparingly to the clean hrbe only and
in a marurer to avoid leaving any excess
inside of completed joints.
(NOTE: Ensure proper
ventilation. Some BAg series filler
metrls contain cadmiurn, which,
when heated during brazing, can
produce toxic fumes.)
r During brazing, the system shall be
continuously purged with oil-free dry
nitrogen to prevent the formation of
scale within the tubing. The purge shall
be maintained until thejoint is cool to
the touch.
r The outside of all hrbes, joints and

with hot water after assembly to remove
any excess flux and provide for clear
visual inspection of brazed connections.
r A visual inspection of each brazed
joint shall be made to assure that the

$now-Melting Systems
Snow-melting systems, installed
in walks, driveways, loading platforms
and other paved areas, are an efficient,
economical means ofsnow, sleet and
ice removal. To warm lhe surface, a
5G50 solution of water and antifreeze
is circulated through copper tube
embedded in the concrete or blacktop.
Considerable savings can be realized
at industrial plant installations where
waste heat sources can be utilized.
In general, installation of snow
melting coils is similar to that of floor
panel heating coils. Selection ofa
sinuous or a grid pattern for a snow-
melting system depends largely on the
shape, size and installation conditions.
Grids are good for square and
rcctangular areas; sinuous coils are
usually preferred for irregr ar areas.
The lower pressue loss with a grid
configuration permits the use of smaller
diameter tube saving material costs.
Maximum economy is often realized
with a combination of sinuous and
grid-type coils.
Soff temper copper tube is
snitable for both sinous and grid-type
coils; hard temper is better for larger
grid coils and for mains. Soft tube
facilitates the installation of sinuous
coils because of its long lengths and
ease ofbending which reduce the
number ofjoints to a minimum.
The solution tanpemtwe entering
the snow melting coils should be I 20'F
to l30oF. To obtain a heating effect for
snow melting of 100 BTU per how per
square foot with copper tube spaced on
l2-inch centers in concrete (or 9-inch
canters in blackop), a maximum of I 40
feet of '/z-inch tube or 280 feet of
%-incb nrbe may be wed. To oblain a
heat input of 200 BTU per hour per
square foot of snow area, a maximum
of60 feet of'/.-inch rube or 150 feet
ofr/"-inch tube may be used.
Tube in concrete should be
located about l' /, to 1'/' inches below
the surface. The concrete shor.rld be
reinforced with wire mesh. In blacktop,
I '/: inches minimum of compacted
thickness ofblacktop should cover the
tube. The tube should be laid with care
on compacted gravel, cmshed stone or
a concrete base. Allowances should be
made for lateral movement where the
tube enters and leaves the concrete or
blacktop.
The same types of heaters and
circulating pumps available for radiant
heating installations are suitable lbr
snow-melting panels. The panels
also may be hooked up to a building's
space heating system, ifthe system
has sufficient capacity for the
additional load and satisfactory
precautions against freezing can
be made.
lrrigalion and Agricullural
$prinkler Systems
krigation systems are necessities
in arid agricultural areas, and sprinkling
systems for maintaining landscaped
areas are being rued increasingly.
Regardless oftype or size of system,
many successftll installations testifli
that copper is the ideal tube material
for the lines.
With the aid of pressue loss
and velocity relationships shown in
Table 6, page 30, and the instruction
contained in the literature of punp and
sprinkler manufacturers, phunbers can
lay out a copper tube watering system to
sewice lawns, crops or golfcourses.
System lines should be laid deep
enough to avoid mechanical damage by
tools and they should be pitched to drain
freely. Where fieezing can be expected,
the system should be installed below the
frost line.
Expansion and contraction should
not be a problem as long as lines are not
rigidly anchored.
Solar Energy Syslems
The energy crises in the 1970s
provided an economic impetus and a
national commitnent to use solar energy
for heating. Solar energy systems to heat
domestic water and for space heating are
based on adding a collector to the
heating system to caphre anergr from
the sun. In general, this simply involves
extending the heating/phmbing system
to the roofofdre honse, where a solar
collector is incorporated into it.
CDA plblished a design
handbook for solar energy systems
which includes an easy-to'use method
for properly sizing a solar heating system
to achieve desired solar contributions.
For a copy ofthe handbook, please write

Copper is the logical material for
solar energy systems because:
r It has the best thermal
conductivity of all engineering metals;
r It is highly resistant to both
atmospheric and aqueous conosion;
r It is easy to fabricate and to j oin
by soldering or brazing;
r lt has been rsed both for
pltunbing and for roofs since metals
were first employed in those
applications.
Copper's thermal advantages
mean thinner copper sheet can collect
the same heat as much thicker gages of
aluminum or steel sheet, and copper
collector tubes can be morc widely
spaced.
l5
Copper's resistance to
]
atmosphenc corosion is well
demonstrated by its service i! roofing
and flashing. Unless attacke4 by the
sulfiu or nitrogen oxide exh4usts from
utilities or process indutriesj, copper
has withstood decades--+veh
centuri+of weathering.
Copper resisls hot wader
conosion equally well. Propprly
sized to keep flow rates belq those
recommended on page I l, apd properly
installed, copper hot water qiystems are,
for all practical purposes, cdmpletely
resistant to corrosion.
'Ihe ease with which fopper
plumbing systems are joinep by
soldering needs no special gmphasis.
Sheet copper fabrication is pqually
recognized lbr its ease and $implicity.
General Considenlions
It is not possible in a lhandbook
of this type to cover all the yariables a
plumbing system designer tnay have to
consider. However. in addition to the
foregoing discussion, the f$llowing
information may also provp helpful
when preparing job specifipations.
Exp ansion Loops-{opper tube,
like all piping materials, e{pands and
contracts with temperaturel changes.
Therefore, in a copper hrbd system
subjected to excessive tem,herahue
changes, a long line tends |o buckle or
bend when it expands rurlgss
compensation is built into he system.
Severe stresses on thejoints may also
occur. Such stresses. buckles or bends
are prevented by the use o[ expansion
joints or by installing offsiits, "U"
bends, coil loops or similar
anangements in the tube 4ssembly.
These specially shaped tube segments
take up expansion and cofitraction
without excessive stress. The expansion
ofa length ofcopper tubq may be
calculated from the formr a:
Temperature Rise (y'egrees F)
x Length (eet)
x 1 2 (inches per Jbbt)
x Expansion Coeftgient (inches
per inch per degrep F)
= Expansion (inchps)
Calculation for expansion and
contraction should be based on the
average coefficient ofexpansion of
copper which is 0.0000094 inch per
inch per degree F, between 70oF and
212oF. For example, the expansion of
each 100 feet of lenglh ofany size tube
heated from room temperature (70'F) to
170"F (a 100'F rise) is 1.128 inches.
100"F x 100 ftx l2 in./ft.
x 0.0000094 in./in./"F
=1.128 in.
Figure 3, page 34, shows the
change in length per 1 00 feet of copper
tube, with temperature. The previons
example is shown by the dofted line.
Table 8, page 35, gives the radii
necessary for coiled expansion loops,
described in Figure 4, page 35.
Expansion offset lengths may be
estimated from Table L
Altematively, the necessary
length oftube in an expansion loop or
offset can be calculated using the
formula:
l= ! l'3E\^ra."ii12\P,'' ',
where:
L = developed lenglh, in feet, in the
expansion loop or offset as shown in
Figure 4.
E= modulus ofelasticity ofcopper, in
psi.
P = design allowable fiber stress of
material in flexure, in psi.
d. : outside diameter ofpipe, in inches.
e = amount ofexpansion to be
absorbed, in inches.
For annealed copper tube:
E: 17,000,000 psi
P : 6,000 psi
Thus, the developed length L is simply:
L = 7.68 (d"efA
Tube S apports-Dnwn temper
tube, because of its rigidity, is prefened
for exposed piping. Unless otherwise
stated in phunbing codes, drawn temper
trbe requires support for horizontal
lines at about 8-foot intervals for sizes
of l -inch and smaller, and at about
| o-foot intervals for larger sizes.
Verlical lines are usually supported
al every story or at about lGfoot inteftals,
but for long lines where there are the
usual provisions for expansion and
contraction, anchors may be several
stories apart, provided there arc sleeves
or similar devices at all intemediate
floors to restrain lateral movement, see
Figure I, page 13,
Armealed temper tube in coils
pemrits long runs without interrnediate
joints. Vertical lines ofannealed temper
tube should be supported at least every
10 feot. Horizontal lines should bE
supported at least every 8 feet.
Resistance to Crasft ing-Tests
made by placing a '/. -inch round steel
bar at right angles across a I -inch
annealed copper tube and then exerting
pressure downward revealed that even
with this severe poinlcontact loading
700 pounds were reqr.rired to crush the
tube to 75 percent of its original
diameter. Two-inch sizes, because of
their greater wall thicloesses, resisted
eve;r more weight before crushing.
Plumbing codes and good piping
practice require ihat all excavations
shall be completely backfilled as soon
after inspection as practical. Trenches
should fint be backfilled with l2 inches
oftamped, clean earth which should not
contain stones, cinders or other
materials which would damage the tube
or cause cormsion. Equipment such as
bulldozers and gra.ders may be used to
complete backfi lling. Suitable
precautions should be taken to ensure
pennanent stability for tube laid in fresh
ground fill.
llater Hammer-W ater hammer
is the term used to describe the
destructive forces, pounding noises and
vibrations which develop in a water
system when the flowing liquid is
stopped abruptly by a closing valve.
When water hammer ocflrrs, a
high-pressure shock wave reverberates
within the piping system rmtil the
energy has been spent in ftictional
losses. The noise of such excessive
pressure surges may be prevented by
adding a capped air chamber or sruge
arresting device to the system.
Arrestins devices are available
16
commercially to provide permanent
protection against shock from water
hammer. They are designed so the
water in the system will not contact the
air cushion in the arrester and. once
installed, they require no flirther
mainlenance.
On single-fixture branch lines, the
arrester should be placed immediately
upstream from the fixtue valve. On
multiple-fixture branch lines, the
prefened location for the arrester is on
the branch line supplying the fixture
group between the last two fixture
supply pipes.
Collapse Pressure of Copper
Tube-4he corstantly increasing use of
copper and copper alloy hrbe in
condensers, water heaterc and other heat
transfer devices for water, gas and fluid
lines, and many other engineering
applications where a pressure
differential exists on opposite sides of
the tube wall, makes accurate data
necessary regarding collapse pressrres.
See Figure 2, page 33.
Freezing-Antealed temper tube
can withstand the expansion of freezing
water several times before bursting.
Under test, the water filling a'l-inch
soft nrbe has been frozen as many as six
times, and a 2-inch size, eleven times.
This is a vital safety factor favoring soft
tube for tmderground water services.
However, it does not mean that copper
water hrbe lines shouid be subjected
to &eezing.
Corrosion-Copper water hrbe is
corrosion resistant. It is very infrequent
that waters or special conditions are
encounfered which can be corrosive
to copper tube. When they are
encountered, they should be recognized
and dealt with.
Shce World War lI, over l8
billion pormds ofcopper plumbing hrbe
has been prod-uced in the United States,
80% of which has been installed in
water distribution systems. This
translates into more than 7 million miles
of copper tube. The rare problems of
corrosion by aggressive water, possibly
aggravated by faulty design or
workmanship, should be viewed in the
context ofthis total record of
outstanding service performance. ln
general, widespread use ofcopper
plunbing tube in a locality can be taken
as good evidence that the water there is
nor agresslve to copper.
When corrosion problems do
occu they usrully stem from one of the
following causes:
( I ) aggressivg hard well waters
that cause pitting;
(2) soft, acidic waters that do not
allow a protective film to form inside
the copper tube;
(3) system design or installation
which results in excessive water flow
velocity or turbulence in the tube;
(4) unacceptable workmanship;
(5) excessive or aggressive flux;
(6) aggressive soil conditions.
Aggressive pitting waters can be
idartified by chemical analysis and
h€ated to bring their composition within
acceptable limits. Characteristically
they 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 ofcarbon dioxide (COr) gas
(over l0 parts per millioq ppm), and
the presence of dissolved oxygen
(D.O.) gas.
A qualified water treatrnent
professional can specifu a treatment for
any aggressive water to make it non-
aggressive to plumbing materials. In
general, this involves raising the pH
and combining or eliminating the COl
gas. Sometimes simple aeration of the
water, e.g., spraying in the open air, is
treatment enough.
Pitting can also be caused or
intensified by faulty workmanship
which leaves excessive amowrts of
residual aggressive flux inside the tube
after installation. If the joints have been
overheated during installation and the
excess residual flux has polymerized.
the pitting problem can worsen.
Soft acidic waters can cause the
annoying problem ofgreen staining of
fixhues or "green water." Raising the
pH of such waters to a value of about
7.2 or more usually solves the problem,
brt a qualified water teaEnent professional
should be consulted. A typical trealment
for an individr.ral well water supply is to
have the water flow throush a bed of
marble or limestone chips.
Excessive water velocity causes
erosion-conosion or impingement
attack in plumbing systems. As
explained in the discussion ofpressure
system sizing beginning on page 10, to
avoid erosion-corrosion (and noise)
problems, the water velocity in a
plumbing system should not exceed 5 to
8 feet per second--the lower limit
applying to smaller tube sizes.
Velocity effects can be
aggravated if the water is chemically
aggressive due to pH or gas content as
outlined above, or ifsolids (silt) are
entrained in the flow. The combination
ofa velocity that is otherwise
acceptable and a \uater chemistry that is
somewhat aggressive can sometimes
cause trouble that would not result from
either factor by itself.
Erosion-corrosion can also be
aggravated by faulty workmanship. For
example, brms left at cut tube ends
can upset smooth water flow, cause .
localized trubulence and high flow
velocities. resulting in erosion-corosion.
Any metal pipe laid in cinders is
subject to attack by the acid generated
when sulf,r compounds in the cinden
combine with water. Under such
circtunstances, the hibe should be
isolated from the cinders with an inert
moisture barrier, a wrapping of
insulating tape, a coaling ofan
asphaltum paint, or with some other
approved rnaterial. With rare exception,
natural soils do not attack copper.
Copper drainage h'rbe rarely
corodes, except when misrued or when
errors have been made in desiping or
installing the drainage system. An
improper horizontal slope can create a
situation where corrosive solutions
could lie in the tube and attack it. If
hydrogen sulfide gas rn large volume is
allowed to vent back into the house
drainage system, it can attack the hrbe.
Vibration-lopper h:be can
u/ithstand the effects ofvibration when
careflll consideration is given to ihe
system design.
Care should be taken when
installing systems subject to vibration
17
to assure that they are free fiom
residual stresses due to bending or
misalignment. Residual stre$ses
coupled with vibration can dause
fatigue at bends and conneclions
where such residual stresses have been
built into the system.
D aru b i lity- U nder nolmal
conditions, a conectly desig ed and
properly installed copper water tube
assembly will easily last the fife of the
building. And, throughout it$ existence,
the assembly should functiop as well as
it did when originally installed.
NS F Cettifcation-'fhe U.5.
Safe Drinking Water Act (19196) and the
Lead and Copper Rule ( l99l) require
pnblic water suppliers to p4vide non-
conosive drinking water to pustomers.
Typically, this is accomplished through
the use ofpH adjustment (pH 6.5
to 8.5) and through the adtsition of
corrosion inhibitors such as ortho- and
polyphosphates. The resr tant tap water
concentrations of lead and copper must
be below the action levels of l5pg/L
and I 300pg,/L, respectively.
NSF International has certified
several copper tube and fittings
manufactruers to ANS/NSF Standard 61.
All have the limitations of being certified
for use in non-corrosive aqueous
environments. Specifically, the pH must
not be below 6.5. Otherwise. resultant
copper concentrations in 1ap water may
exceed the action level established by
the EPA.
ANSL/NSF Standard 6l requires
products evaluated to conditions other
ihan those specified in the standard
(such as pH 5 and l0 exposure water) to
be labeled with a limitation statement.
as follows:
Copper tube (Alloy C12200)
is Certified by NSF to ANSI/NSF
Standard 6l for public water supplies
meeting or in lhe process ofmeeting
the EPA Lead and Copper Rule (56FR
26460, June 7, I99l). I ater supplies
with pH less than 6.5 may require
corrosion control to limit copper
solubility in drinking water.
NSF Certified copper tube must
bear the NSF Certification mark and the
limitation statement. The length of the
limitation statement makes it difficult to
place on the tube itself. Additionally,
current inking technology results rn
smearing and low legibility. For these
reasons, NSF certification policies
allow copper hrbe manufactuen to
place the limitation statement on a tag
attached to bundles ofcopper tube, or
on the boxes of coiled copper hbe.
Placing "NSF ' on the rube itself is still
required.

WORKING WITH GOPPER TUBE
IV. BENDING
Because of its exceptional
fomrability, copper can be formed as
desired at the job site. Copper tube,
properly bent, will not collapse on the
outside ofthe bend and will not buckle
on the inside ofthe bend. Tests
demonstrate that the bursting stoength of
a bent copper hrbe can achrally be
greater than it was before bending.
Because copper is readily formed,
expansion loops and other bends
necessary in an assembly are quickly
and simply made if the proper method
and equipment are used. Simple hand
tools employing mandrels, dies, fonns
ar,d fillers, or power-operaled bending
machines can be used.
Both annealed tube and hard
drawn tube can be bent with the
appropriate hand benderc. The proper
size ofbender for each size be must
be used. For a guide to typical bend
radii, see Table 13.
The procedure for bending copper
tube with a lever-rype hand bcnder is
illustrated in Figure 9.

wheel groove.
(B) Place the tube-holding clip
over the tube and bring the handle into
an approximately right angle position,
engaging the forming shoe over the

wheel should then be even with lhe
front edge of the forming shoe.
(C) Bend by pulling the handles
toward each other in a smooth,
continuous motion. The desired ansle of
the bend will be indicated by the
calibrations on the forming wheel.
(D) Remove the bent tube by
pivoting the handle to a right angle with
the tube, disengaging the forming shoe.
Then release the tube-holding clip.

V. JOINING
Soldered joints, with capillary
fittings, are rsed in plumbing for water
lines and for sanitary drainage. Brazed
joints, with capillary littings, are used
where $eaterjoint strength is required
ot where service temperatues are as
high as 350"F. Brazing is prefened and
often required, forjoints in
refrigeration piping.
Mechanical joints are used
frequently for undergrourd tubing,
forjoinm where the use ofheat is
impractical and for joints that may
have to be disconnected from time to
time. Copper tube may also be joined
by butt-welding without the use of
fittings. Care must be taken to use
proper welding procedrues.
Filtings
Fittings for copper water flibe used
in plumbing and heating are made to the
following standards: Cast Copper Alloy
Threaded Frttings (ASME B I 6. I 5);
Cast Copper Alloy Solder Joint Pressure

(ASME 816.26); Wrought Copper and
I4/rought Copper-Alloy Solder Joint
Drainage Fittings DW (ASME
B 16.29), and Wroughr Copper and
Copper Alloy Braze-Joint Pressure
FrTfings (ASME B 16.50). Examples of
solderjoint end dimensions are shown
in Figure 6, page 37.
Cast alloy prcssure fittings are
available in all standard tube sizes and
in a limited variety of tlpes to cover
needs for plumbing and mechanical
systerns. They can be either soldered or
brazed, although brazing cast littings
requires care. Wrought copper presnue
fittings are available over a wide range
ofsizes and types. These, too, can be
joined by either soldering or brazing;
wrought fittiDgs are preferred where
brazing is the joining method. Other-
wise. the choice between cast and
wrought fittings is largely a matter of
the user's preference and availability.
Flared-tube fi ttings provide
metal-to-metal contact similar to
ground joint unions; both can be easily
taken apart and reassembled. They are
especially useful where residual water
cannot be removed from the tube and
soldering is diffrcult. Flared joints may
be required where a fire hazard exists
and the use ofa torch to make soldered
or brazed joints is not allowed. Also,
soldering rmder wel conditions can be
very diflicult; flared joints are preferred
under such circumstances.
Solders
Soldered joints depend on
capillary action drawing free-fl owilg
molten solder into the gap between
the fitting and the tube. Flux acts as a
cleaning and wetting agant and, when
properly applied, permits uniform
spreading of the molten solder over
the surfaces to lhe ioined.
The selection of a solder
depends primarily on the operating
pressure and temperature of the
system. Consideration should also be
given to the stresses onjoints caused
by thermal expansion and contraction.
However, stresses due to temperatue
changes should not be sipificant in
two commonly encountered cases:
when tube lengths are short, or when
expansion loops are used in long
tube runs.
Rated internal working pressures
for solder joints made with copper hrbe
using 50-50 tinJead solder (ASTM B 32
Alloy Sn50), 95-5 tin-antimony solder
(ASTM B 32 Alloy Sb5), and several
lead-frce solders (ASTM B 32 Alloy E
ald Alloy HB) are listed in Table 4,
page 28.
The 50-50 tin-lead solder is
suitable for moderate pressures and
temperahres. For higher pressures, or
where greaterjoint strength is required,
95-5 tin-antimony solder and alloys E
and HB can be used. For continuous
operation at temperatures exceeding
250'F, or where the highest joint
strength is required, brazing filler
metals shonld be used.
Most solders rcferenced in ASTM
B 32, Standard Specifcationfor Solder
Metal, canbeused to join copper tube
and fittings in potable water systems.
Solders containing lead at concentra-
tions of greater th tn 02oh are banned
for potable water systems by the 1986
amendment to the Federal Safe
Drinking Water Act. The 50-50 tin-lead
solders may be used in some HVAC,
drainage and other piping systems in
some jurisdictions.

required. Use the same type
during heating. The flux should be
applied to clean surfaces and only
enough should be used to lightly coat
the areas to bejoined.
An oxide film may re-form
quickly on copper after it has been
cleaned. Therefore, the flux should be
applied as soon as possible after
cleaning.
The fluxes best suited for
soldering copper and copper alloy tube
should meet the requirements of ASTM
B 813 , Standard Specification for
Liquid and Paste Ffuxes for Soldering
Applications ofCopper and Copper
Alloy Tube (see page 44).
Some fluxes identified by tlrcir
manufactuers as "self-cleaning" present
a risk in their use. There is no doubt that
a strong, conosive flux can remove
some oxides and dirt filrns. However,
when highly conosive fluxes are used
this way, there is always rmcertaiuty
whether uniform cleaning has been
achieved and whether conosive action

VI. $OLDERED JOINTS
The American We lding Society
defines soldering as "a group ofjoining
processes that produce coalescence of
materials by heating thern to a soldering
ternperahue and by using a filler metal
(solder) having a liquidus not exceeding
840oF and below the solidus of the base
metals." In actual practice, most
soldering is done at temperahres from
about 35ffF to 600"F.
To consistently make satisfactory
joints, the following sequence ofjoint
preparation and operations, based on
ASTM Standard Practice B 828, should
be followed:
r measuring and cutting
I reamirg
r cleaning
r fluxing
r assembly and support
r heating
r applying the solder
r cooling and cleaning
The techniques described
produce leak-tight soldered joints
between copper and copper alloy tube
and fittings, either in shop operations
or in the field. Skill and knowledge are
required to produce a satisfactorily
soldered joint.
Measuring and Cutting
Accurately measwe the length of
each tube sep.ent (Figure l0).
Inaccwacy can compromise j oint
quality. Hthe tube is too shorl, it will
not reach all the way into the cup ofthe
fitting and a properjoint cannot be
made. Ifthe tube segrnenl is too long,
system seain may be introduced which
could affect service life.
Cut the tube to the measured
lengtbs. Cutting can be accomplished in
a nrunber of ditfercnt ways to produce a
satisfactory squared end. The tube can
be cut with a disc-type hrbe cutter
(Figure I l), a hackaw, an abrasive
wheel, or with a stationary or portable
bandsaw. Care must be taken that the
tube is not deformed while being cut.
Regardless of method, the cut must be
square to the run ofthe tube so that
the tube will seat properly in the
fitting cup.
Reaming
Rearn all cut tube ends to th€ full
inside diameter of the tube to remove
the small burr created by the cutting
operation. If this rough, inside edge
is not removed by reaming, erosion-
corrosion may occur due to local
turbulence and increased local flow
velooity in the tube. A properly reamed
piece of tube provides a smooth surface
for better flow.
Remove any burrs on the outside
ofthe tube ends, created by the cutting
op€ratioq to exNure proper eirtrance of
the tube into the fitting cup.
Tools used to ream tube ends
include the remring blade on the tube
cutter, half-round or round files (figure
l2), a pocket knife (Figure l3), and a
suitable debuning tool @gure l4).
With soft tube, care must be taken not
to deform the tube end by applying too
much pressure.
Soft temper tube, if deformed,
can be brought back to mundness with a
sizing tool. This tool consists ofa plug
and sizing ring.

Applying Flux
Use a flux that will dissolve and
remove traces ofoxide from the cleaned
surftces to bejoined, protect the cleaned
surfac,es fom reoxidation during heating,
and promote wetting of the zurfaces by
the solder metal, as recommended in the
general requirements ofASTM B 813.
Apply a thin even coating of flux with a
bmsh to both tube and litting as soon as
possible after cleaning (Figures l8
and 19).
WARNING: Do not apply with
fingers. Chemicals In the flux can be
harmful if carried to the ey$, mouth
or open cuts.
Use cere in applying flux.

FIGUFE 21: Removing Ercess Flur
Heating
WARNING: When dealing
with an open flame, high temper-
atures and flammable gaseq safety
precautions must be observed as
described in ANSV ASC ZA9,l.
Begin heating with the flame
perpendicular to the nrbe (Figure 27,
position I and Figure 22). The copper
tube conducts ttre initial heat into the
fitting cup for even distribution ofheat
in the joint area- The extent of this pre-
heatiug depends upon the size ofthe
joint. Preheating ofthe assembly should
include the entire circumference ofthe
tube in order to bring the entire assunbly
up to a suitable preheat condition. How-
ever, forjoints in dle horizontal positio,rl
avoid directly preheating the top ofthe
joint to avoid hrning tbe soldering flux.
The natural tendency for heat to rise will
ensure adequate preheat ofthe top of
the assembly. Experience will indicate
the arnount ofheat and the time needed.
Next, move the flame onto the
fitting cup (Figure 27, position 2 and
Figure 23). Sweep the flame altemately
between the fitting cup and the tube a
distance equal to the depth of the fitting
cup (Figure 27, position 3). Again, pre-
heating 0re circrmfwrce ofthe assernbly
as described above, with the torch at
the base ofthe fitting cup (Figure 27,
postion 4), touch the solder to the joint.
lf the solder does not me1t, remove it
and continue heating.
CAUTION: Do not overheat
the joint or direct the fleme into the
face ofthe fitting cup. Overheiting
could burn the flux. which will
FIGURE 22r Pr+Heallng Tube
FIGURE 23: Pre-Heafng Fitting
destroy its effecdveness and the
solder wlll not enter the joint
properly.
When the solder melts, apply heat
to the base ofthe cup to aid capillary
action in drawing the molten solder into
the cup towards the heat source.
The heat is generally applied
using an air-friel torch. Such torshes
use acetylene or an LP gas. Electic
resistance soldering tools can also
be used (Figure 24, page 48). They
employ heating electodes and should
be considered when an o'pen flB[ne is
a concern.
Applying Solder
Forjoints in tbe horizontal positioo,
start ryplying tlrc solder metal slightly oS
cenler at the bottom of the joint @gure
27, position a, and Figure 25). When tln
solder begins !o melt from the heat ofthe
tube and fitting, push the solder snaight
into tln joint while keeping the torch at
FIGUBE 20: Assembly

FIGUFE 24: Eleclric Besistance Hand Tool
the base ofthe fitting and slightly ahead
ofthe point ofapplication ofthe solder.
Continue this technique across the bottom
of*re fitting and up one side to ttre top of
the fitting @gure 27, postion b).
The now-solidified solder at the
bottom ofthe joint has created an
effective dam that will prevent the solder
from running out ofthe joint as the side
and top ofthe joint are being filled.
Retum to the point of beginning

c), md proceed up tre uncompleted side
to the top, again, ovolapping slightly
(Figure 27, position d). W}ile soldering"
small drops may appear behind the point
of solder application, indicating the joint
is firll to that point and will take no more
solder. Throughorx this process yor are
using all three physical states of the
solder: solid pasty and liquid.
Forjoints in the vertical postion,
make a similar sequence ofoverlapping
passes starting wherever is convenient.
Solderjoints depend on capillary
action drawing free-flowing molten
solder into the narrow clearance between
the fitting and the tube. Molten solder
metal is drawn into the joht by capillary
action regardless ofwhether the solder
flow is upward, downward or horizontal.
Capillary action is most elfective
when the space between surfaces to be
joined is between 0.002 inch and 0.005
inch. A certain amormt oflooseness offit
can be tolerate4 but too loose a fit can
cause difficulties with larger size finings.
Forjoining copper tube to solder-
cup valves, follow lhe mamfacturer's
FIGURE 25: Soldedng
FIGURE 27: Schematlc ot Solder Joint
insnuctiors. The valve should be in a
partially opar position before applying
heat and the heat strould be applied
primarily to the tube. Commercially
available heat-sink materials can also
be used for plotection oftemperature-
sensitive cornponents during the joining
operation.
The amount of solder consumed
when adequately filling the capillary
space betrreen the tube and either wrought
or cast fittings may be estimated from
Table 10, page 39. The flux require-
ment is usually 2 ounces per pound
of solder.
Cooling and Cleaning
Allow the completed joint to cool
naturally. Shock cooling wiih water may
stress the joint. When cool, clean offany
remaining fltu residue with a wet mg
(Figure 26). Whenever possible, based
on end use, completed systerns should be
flushed to remove excess flux and debris.
Tesling
Test all completed assemblies for
joint integrity. Fo[ow the testing
procedure prescribed by applicable codes

VII. BRAZED JOINTS
Strong, leak{ight brazed
connections for copper tube may be
made by brazing with filler metals
which melt at ternpemtures in the range
between 1 100'F and 1500"F, as listed in
Table 12, page 40. Brazing filler meals
are sometimes referrci to as "hard
solders" or "silver solders." These
confusing terms should be avoided.
The temp€rature at which a filler
metal starts to melt on heating is the
solicfus temperahre; the liquidus
temperature is the higher temperature at
which the filler metal is completely
melted. Ttle liquidus temperah[e is the
minimum temperahrre at which brazing
will take place.
The difference between so/idrs
at'd, Iiquidus is the melting range and
may be of importance when selecting a
filler metal. It indicates the v/idth ofthe
working range for the filler metal and
the speed with which the filler metal
will become fully solid after brazing.
Filler metals with narrow ranges, with
or without silver, solidif more quickly
and, therefore, require carefirl application
ofheat. The melting ranges ofcommon
brazing metals are shown in Figure 8a.
Brazing Filler Melals
Brazing filler metals suitable for
joining copper hrbe are of two classes:
(l ) the BCuP series alloys containing
phosphorus and (2) the BAg series
alloys containing a high silver content.
The two classes differ in ther
melting, fltxing and flowing character-
istics and this should be considered in
selection of a filler metal. (See Table
12.) While any of the listed filler nretals
may be used, those most commonly
used in plumbing, HVAC refrigeration
and fire sprinkler systems are BCuP-2
(for closer tolerances), BCuP-3, 4 or 5
(where close tolerances cannot be held)
adn BAg-i, BAg-5 and BAg-7. The
BCUP series filler metals are more
economical than the BAg series, and
are better suited for general piping
applications. BAg series filler metals
should be used when joining
dissimilar metals, or the specific
characteristics of the BAg series filler
metals are required. Forjoining
copper tube, any ofthese filler metals
will provide the necessary strength
when used with standard soldertype
fittings or commercially available
short-cup brazing fi ttings.
According to the American
Welding Society (AWS), the strength
of the brazedjoint will meet or exceed
that ofthe tube and fitting beingjoined
when the joint overlap and the depth
of the filler metal penetration is a
minimwn of three times the thickness of
the thinner base metal (tube or fitting),
and a well-developed fillet is present.
The strength of a brazed copper
tube jo.int does not vary much with
the different filler metals but depends
mainly on maintaining the proper
clearance between the oulside of
the tube and the crlp of the fitting.
Copper tube and solder-type firings
are accruately made for each other,
and the tolerances permitted for each
assure the capillary space will be
within the limits necessary for a joint
of satisfactory strength.
The rated internal working
pressur€s of brazed copper tube
systems at service temperatures up to
350oF (the temperature of saturated
steam at 120 psi) are shown in Table 4,
page 28. These pressure ratings should
be used only when the correct capillary
space has been mainta insd.
Fluxes
The fluxes used for bnzing copper
joints are different in composition from
soldering fluxes. The two types cannot
be used interchangeably.
Unlike soldering fluxes, brazing
fluxes are water based. Similar to
soldering fluxes, brazing fluxes
dissolve and remove residual oxides
from the metal surface, protect the
metal from reoxidation during heating
and promote wetting of the slrfaces to
be joined by the brazing filler metal.
Brazing fluxes also provide the
craffsman with an indication of tempera-
tue (Figure 7b). Ifthe outside ofthe
fitting and the heat-affected area of the
tube are covered with flux (in addition
to the end of the tube and the cup),
oxidation will be minimized and the
appearance ofthe joint will be greatly
improved.
The flrxes b€st suited for brazing
copper and copper alloy tube should
meet AWS Standard A5.31, Type FB3-
A or FB3-C.
Figure 8, page 39, ilh$trates the
need for brazing flux with different
types ofcopper and copper-alloy nrbe,
fittings and filler metals when brazing.
Assembly
Assemble the joint by inserting
the tube into the socket hard against the
stop and turn if possible. The assembly
should be firmly supported so that it
49
from dre edge of the fitting, slweeping
the flame around the tube in thon
strokes at right angles to the {xis of
the tube (Figure 27, positionl l).
It is very important thalt tlte flame
be in motion and not ranain irn any one
point long enorrgh to darnag{ the tr-rbe.
The flux may be used as a g{ide as to
how long to heat the tube. Tlie behavior
offlux during the brazing cyple is
described in Figure 7.
]
Switch the flame to thF fitring at
the base ofihe cup (Figure f7, position
2). Heat uniformly, sweepin! the flame
from the fitting to the tube ubtil the flux
on the fitting becomes quiet.l Avoid
excessive heating of cast fittfngs, due to
the possibility ofcracking. J
When the flux appear$ liquid and
transpar€nt, start sweeping tfre flame
back and forth along the axi$ ofthe
joint to maintain heat on the]parts to be
joined especially toward th{ base ofthe
cup ofthe fitting (Figure 27j position 3).
The flame must be kept mofing to
avoid melting the tube or fi$ing.
For l-inch tube and l{rger, it may
be difficult to bring the wh(le joinr up
to temperature at one time. It frequently
will be found desirable to u$e an oxy-
will remain in aligrunent
brazing operation.
Applying Heal and
Apply heat to the parts
joined, preferably with an
torch with a neutral flame. Alr-fuel is
sometimes used on smaller sibes. Heat
the tube first, beginning abo* one inch
fuel, multiple-orifice heating tip to
nMr arn a more tmrtorn
over large areas. A mild
the entire fitting is
larger sizes, and the use of
torch to retain a uniform
the entire fitting assembly be
necessary in larger di Heating
can then proceed as outli in the steps
above.
Apply the brazing filler metal at a
point where the tube entffs the socket of
the fitting. When the proper temperahlre
is reached, the filler metal will flow
readily into the spac€ between the tube
and fitting socket, drawn in by the
nahual force ofcapillary action.
Keep the flame away from the
filler metal itself as it is fed into the
joint. The temperatue of the hrbe and
fitting at the joint should be high
arough to melt the filler metal.
Keep both the fitting and hrbe
heated by moving the flame back and
forth from one to the other as the filler
metal is drawn into the joinf
When the joint is properly made,
filler metal will be drawn into the fitting
socket by capillary actiorq and a
continuous fillet of filler metal will be
visible completely mound the joint. To
aid in the development ofthis fillet
during brazing, dre flame should be
kept slighdy ahead ofthe point of filler
metal application.
Horizontal and Veflical Joints
When brazing horizontal joints,
it is preferable to fint apply the filler
metal slightly off-center at the bottom
ofthe joint proceeding across the
bottom ofthejoint and continuing up
the side to the top ofthejoint.. Then,
retum to the begirming point, over-
lapping slightly, and prcceed up the
uncompleted side to the top, again,
overlapping slightly. This procedure is
identical to that used for soldering.
Also, similar to the soldering
process, make sure the operations
overlap. On vertical joints it is
immaterial where tbe start is made. If
the opening of the socket is pointing
down, care should be taken to avoid
overheating the tubg as this may cause
the brazing filler metal to run down the
outside ofthe tube.
Removing Residue
After the brazedjoint has cooled
lhe flux residue should be removed with
a clean cloth, brush or swab using warm
water. Remove all flux residue to avoid
the risk ofthe hardened flux temporarily
retaini:rg pressure and masking an
imperfectly brazed joint. Wrought
fiftings may be cooled more readily than
cast fittings, but all fittings should be
allowed to cool naturally before wetting.
General Hints and Suggeslions
Ifthe filler metal 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. Iftube or fitting start to oxidize
during heating there is too litde flux. If
the filler metal does not enter the joint
and tends to flow over the outside of
either member of the joinq it indicates
tlnt one member is overheated or the
other is underheated.
Tesling
Test all completed assemblies for
joint integrity. Follow the testing
procedure prescribed by applicable
codes goveming the intended service.
Purging
Some installations, such as
medical gas, high-purity gas and ACR
systerns, require the rse ofan inert gas
during ihe brazing process. The purge
gas displaces oxygen from the interior
ofthe system while it is being subjected
to the high tanperahues ofbrazing and
therefore eliminates the possibility of
oxide formation on the interior htbe
surface.
Purge gas flow rates and methods
of application should be included in the
lpzing Procedwe Specifications of
these applications.

VIII. FUIRED JOINTS
While copper tube is usually
joined by soldering or brazing, there are
times when a mechanical joint may be
required or preferred. Flared fittings
(Figures 28 and 29) are an altemative
when the use ofan open flame is either
not desired or irnpractical. Watel
service applications generally use a
Ilare to iron pipe connection when
g6nnsgting the copper tube to the main
and/or the meter. In addition, copper
tube used for Fuel Gas (Liquefied
Petroleum (LP), Propane Gas or Natural
Gas may be joined utilizing flared brass
fittings of single 45"-flare type,
according to NFPA 54/ NiSl. 2223.1
National Fuel Gas Code. All National
Model Codes perrnit the use of flare
joints, but it is important to check with
the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ)
to deterrnine acceptance for a specific
application in any particular
jurisdiction.
A flare joint should be made with
an appropriate tool such as those
supplied by a number oftubing/piping
tool manufachlrers. Make sure to use a
tool that matches the outside diameter
of the tube being flared and that has the
appropriate flare angle, commonly 45"
(the physical characteristics of which
shonld be in accordance with the
Society of Automotive Engineers SAE
J533 Standard - Flares for Tubing). The
tool usually consisB of flaring bals with
openings for various tube sizes and a
yoke that contains the flaring cone and a
clamp to grip the flaring bars.
When flaring Types L or Type K
copper tube, annealed or soft temper
hrbe should be used. It is possible to
flare Types K, L or M rigid or hard
temper tube, though prior to flaring it is
usually necessary to anneal the end of
the tube to be flared. The copper tube
must be cut square using an appropriate
tubing cutter. After cutting, the tube
must be reamed to the full inside
diameter leaving no inside burr (Figure
30). Tube that is out of rourd prior to
flarine should be resized back to rorurd.
FIGURE 30: Feaming Prior to Flaring
the Tube End
Failure to complete either of these sleps
can, lead to an inadequate seal of the
flaredjoint and, ultimately, to joint
failure. Dirt, debris and foreign
substances should be removed from the
tube end to be flared by mechanical
cleaning. This can be accomplished
with the use ofan abrasive cloth (screen
clotb, sand cloth, emery cloth or nylon
abrasive cloth).
Now, place a flare nut over the
end ofthe hlbe with the threads closest
to the end being flared. Insert the tube
berween the flaring bars of the flaring
tool in the appropriate opening for the
diameter of the nrbe being flared.
Adjust the height ofthe nrbe in the
opening in accordance with the tool
mannfac turer's instructions, to achieve

cone and forces the lip ofthe tube
against the base ofthe flaring bar to
create an angled flare that will mate
securely with a corresporlding flare-bTe
fitting. Care should be taken nol to
over-tighten the cone and cause
cracking or deformation ofthe hrbe
and/or the tool. Some took also provide
a setting for imnirg or bumishing ttre
flare, as a fmal step to achieve a more
consistent flare. The final flarcd ftbe
end should have a smooth, ev€n, rormd
flare of sufficient length to firlly engage
the mating surface ofthe flare nut
without protruding into tho &rcads
(Figure 32).
No material (e.g., pipe joint
compound) should be applied to the
mating surfaccs of the flare fitting and
tlre flared tube end before attaching the
flare nut to the fitting body.

IX. ADDITIONAL JOINING METHODS
Soldering and brazing are fast
and efficient methods ofjoining with
standard torches and a variety of
gases, facilitating high productivity on
thejob site.
There are also electric resistance
soldering hand tools which employ
heating electrodes forjoining tube and
fittings (Figure 24, page 48), The
tools are lightweight and should be
considered when an open flame is a
concern.
Another joining technology
involves a hand tool desiened to
quickly pull tee connections and outlets
from the run ofthe tube, thus reducing
the number oftee fittings and brazed
joints (Figure 33). It allows branches
to be formed faster and usually results
in a lower installed system cost.
A new mechanical joining
system for copper tube offers a
prdctical altemative to soldering and
brazing large diameter tube. Grooved-
end piping has been familiar to pipe
fiften and sprinkler system contractots
for many years. Since 1925, this
method ofjoining pipe has been used
reliably on steel and iron pipe in
HVAC, fue protection, process piping
and related applications. Now this
method of mechanical joining is
available in a system for copper tt.rbe in
sizes from 2 tluough 6 inches (Figure
34). Included are couplings, grooved
copper 45- and 90-degree elbows,
and straight tees and gooved flange
adapters.

The glass Bulb contairls a lluid that
expands when exposed to heal. When
the rated lemperature i$ reached, the
lluid expands sufticiently to shatter the
glass Bulb allowing thp sprinkler to
activate and flow water.
(a) For coverage area dimFnsions less than or betwsen those indicated, it is necessary to use the minimum required llow for the nexl
highest coverage area for which hydraulic design criteria are stated.
(b) Requiremenl is based on minimum llow in GPM (LPM) fmm each sprinkler. The associated residual pressures are calculated
using the nominal K-labtor. Reter to Hydraulic Design Criteria Section tor details.

Design Crileria
The Series LFll (TY2234) Residential
Pendent Sprinklers are UIL and C-UL
Listed for installalion in re$idential oc-
cupancies with horizontal 0eilings (i.e.,
slopes up to a 2 inch rise overa 12 inch
run) with beams when inslalled in ac-
cordance with the followin$ criteria:
General Intormation, The basic con-
cept of this protection scheme is to
locate the sprinklers on the underside
of the beams, Ref. Figure 5l (not in the
beam pockets): to identifj, the main
beams lhat principally run ih one direc-
tion as "primary beams"; and, to iden-
tify the beams that run principally per
pendicular to the main beains, as may
be present (or in some cages may be
necessary for proper sprinkler protec-
tion), as "secondary beams".
P rimary and Secondary Beam
Types. Solid surface, soli( or hollow
core, combuslible or non-cdmbuslible.
Primary and Secondary Beam Posi-
tioning. Directly attached to lhe un-
derside of a combuslible oi non-com-
bustible smoolh ceilinb al any
elevalon.
Primary Beam Cross-Seciion: MaxF
mum depth of 14 inches and the maxi-
mum width is unlimited. The cross-sec-
tional shape of the primary beam may
be rectangular lo circular.
Secondary Beam Cros$-Section.
Maximum depth to be no grlealer than
the primary beam and lhe maximum
width is unlimited. The cros$-seclional
shape of the secondary be{m may be
rectangular to circular.
Primary Beam Spacing. The primary
beams (Fig. 64) are to be 3 trt. - 4 in. to
6 ft. f rom the compartment vlall to cen-
ter of the nearest beam and frt;m cen-
ter lo center between beamE.
Secondary Beam Spacing, The sec-
ondary beams principally rqn perpen-
dicular lo the primary beam$.
Secondary beams ol a depth equal to
the primary beam must be placed so
that the beam pockets creafed by the
primary bsams do not excebd 20 feet
in length (Fig. 68).
NOTE
When the beam pockets C{eated by
the primary beams exceed 20 leet in
length, the installation will rbquire the
use of secondary beams as described
above. Otherwise, second/ry beams
need not be Dresent.
Secondary beams of a cross.seclional
depth greater than one-quarler lhe
depth of the primary beams are to be
a minimum of 3 ft. - 4 in. from the
comDarlment wall to center ot the
nearest beam and from center to cen-
ler between beams (Fig. 6C).
Secondary beams of a cross-sectional
depth no grealer lhan one-quarter lhe
depth of the primary beams may be
placed at any compartment wall to
cenler of the nearesl beam dislance
and lrom any cenler to center dislance
belween beams (Fig. 6C).
Lintels. Lintels over doorways exiting
the compartmenl must be present. The
minimum heighl lor lhe linlels is I
inches or no less than lhe deoth of the
Primary Beams, whichever is greater.
Sprinkler Types. Series LFll
(TY2234), l55F and 175F, Pendent
and Recessed Pendent Residential
Sprinklers.
Sprinkler Coverage Area and Hy-
draulic Design. The sprinkler cover-
age areas and hydraulic design crileria
as presented in lhe Table A lor "Hori-
zontal Ceilings" are to be applied.
Sprinkler Position. The deflector to
botlom of primary beams forlhe Series
LFll (TY2234) Pendenl Sprinklers or
Series LFll (TY2234\ Recessed Pen-
dent Sprinklers is to be 1-1l4 to 1-3/4
inches (Fig. 5A). The vertical cenler-
line of the Series LFll (TY2234) Pen-
dent Sprinklers is to be no greater than
half the primary beam cross-seclional
width plus 2 inches f rom the centerline
of the primary beam (Fig 5B).
NOTES
Core drilling of beams to a ow the in-
stallation ol sprinkler drops requires
consulting with a structura! engineer.
Where core dri ing is not permifted,
lhe previously stated sprinkler position
criteria for lhe Series LFll (TY2234)
Pendent Sprinklers allows lor the
sprinkler drop to be placed adjacent to
the primary beam.
Beam and Soffit Affangements. A
soflil is permitted to be placed around
the perimeter of a compartment wilh
the beam arrangement within lhe sof-
lited area (Fig.7).
The cross-section of the soffit mav be
any size as long as it does not cr;ate
an obstruclion to waler dislribulion oer
the obslruction rules of NFPA 13 for
residential sprinklers.
When soffits are presenl, lhe pre-
viously provided 3 ft. - 4 in. to 6lt.
"comparlment wall lo adiacent beam"
distance for the primary and secon-
dary beams is to be measured f rom the
lace of the soflit as opposed to the
compartment wall.

NOTE
Although the distance to the beams is
measurcd from the face ol the softit,
the sprinkler coverage area is to be
measured from the comDartment wall.

painled, plated, coated, or olherwise
allered atter leaving the factory. Modi-
fied sprinklers must be replaced.
Sprinklers thal have been exposed to
corrosive products of combuslion, but
have not operaled, should be replaced
if they cannot be completely cleaned
by wiping the sprinkler with a cloth or
by brushing ii with a sott bristle brush.
Care must be exercised lo avoid dam-
TFP4OO
age to the sprinklers - before, during,
and afler installation. Sprinklers dam-
aged by dropping, striking, wrench
twisvslippage, or the like, must be re-
placed. Also, replace any sprinkler that
has a cracked bulb or lhat has losl
liquid from its bulb. (Ref. Installation
Section).
The owner is responsible for the in-
spection, testing, and maintenance ol

residential occupancies such as
homes, apartments, dormitories, and
holels. When aesthetics and optimized
flow characlerislics are lhe maior con-
sideration, the Series LFll (TY1334)
should be the firsl choice.
The Series LFll are to be used in wet
pipe residential sprinkler systems lor
one- and two-lamily dwellings and mo-
bile homes per NFPA 13D; wet pipe
residential sprinkler systems for resi-
dential occupancies up to and includ-
ing lour stories in height per NFPA
13R; or, wet pipe sprinkler systems for
the residential portions of any occu-
pancy per NFPA 13.
The Series LFll (TY1334) has a 4.2
(60,5) K-factor that provides the re-
quired residential flow rates at reduc€d
pressures, enabling smaller pipe sizes
and water supply requirements.
The recessed version of the Series
LFll (TY1334) is intended lor use in
areas with f inished walls. lt employs a
two-piece Slyle 20 Recessed Escutch-
eon. The Becessed Escutcheon pro-

Operation
The glass Bulb contains a fluid that
expands when exposed to heat. When
the rated lemperalure is reached, the
fluid expands sufficienlly to shatter the
glass Bulb allowing the sprinkler to
activale and f low water.
Design
Criteria
The Series LFll (TY1334) Residentjal
Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers are UL
and C-UL Listed for installation in ac-
cordance with the following criteria.
NOTE
When conditions exist that are outside
the scope ot the provided criteria, refer
to the Residential Sprinkler Design
Guide TFP490 for the manufaclurer's
recommendations that may be accept-
able to the local Authotity Having Ju-
nsgtcuon.
Syslem Type. Only wet pipe systems
may be utilized.
Hydraulic Design. The minimum re-
quired sprinkler flow rate lor systems
designed to NFPA l3D or NFPA 1 3R
are given in Table A. B, C, and D as a
function oJ temperature raling and lhe
maximum allowable coverage areas.
The sprinkler flow rale is the minimum
required discharge from each of the
total number of "design sprinklers" as
specified in NFPA 13D or NFPA 13R.
For systems designed to NFPA 13, the
number of design sprinklers is lo be
the four mosl hydraulically demanding
sprinklers. The minimum required dis-
charge from each of the four sprinklers
is to be the greater of the tollowing:
. The f low rales given in Tables A, B,
C, and D for NFPA 13D and 13R as
a function ol temperature rating and
the maximum allowable coveraoe
. A minimum discharge of 0.1 gpm/sq.
ft. over the "design area" comprised
of the four mosl hydraulically de-
manding sprinklers tor the actual
coverage areas being protected by
the lour sprinklers.
Obstruction To Water Distribution,
Locations of sorinklers are to be in
accordance with the obstruction rules
of NFPA 13 for residential sDrinklers.
Operalional Sensitivity. The sprin-
klers are to be installed with an end-ot-
detlector-boss to wall distance of 1-
3/8 to 6 inches or in the recessed po-
sition using only the Style 20 Re-
cessed Escutcheon as shown in
Figure 2.
In addition the top-of -def lector-to-ceil-
ing dislance is to be within lhe range
(Ref. Table A, B, C, or D) being hy-
draulically calculated.
Sprinkler Spacing, The minimum
spacing belween sprinklers is I feet
(2,4 m). The maximum spacing be-
tween sprinklers cannot exceed the
width of the coverage area (Ref. Table
A) being hydraulically calculated (e.9.,
maximum 1 2 feet lor a 12 lt. x 12 ft.
coverage area, or 1 6 feet for a 16 ft. x
20 ft. coverage area).
Installation
The Series LFll (TYl334) must be in-
stalled in accordance with the lollow-
ing inslruclions:
NOTES
Do not install any bulb type sprinkler il
the bulb is cracked or there is a loss ol
liquid f rom the bulb. With the sprinktel
held horizontally, a small air bubble
should be present. The diameter ol the
air bubble is approximately 1/16 inch
(1,6 mm).
A leak tight 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler joint
should be obtained with a torque ol 7
to 14 ft.lbs. (9,5 to 19,0 Nm). A naxi-
mum of 21 tt.lbs. (28,5 Nm) ol torqueis to be used to install sp nklerc.
Higher levels of totque may distort the
sprinkler inlet with conseouent leak-
age or impairment of the sbrinkler.
Page 3 of 8
Do not attempt to compensate Ior in-
sutficient adjustment in an Escutcheon
Plate by under- or over-tightening the
Sprinkler. Beadjust the position of the
sp nkler fitting to suit.
The Series LFll Horizonlal Sidewall
Sprinklers must be installed in ac-
cordance with the following instruc-
Itons.
Step 1. Horizontal sidewall sprinklers
are to be installed in lhe horizontal
position with lheir centerline of waler
way perpendicular to the back wall and
parallel to the ceiling. The word "TOP"
on the Deflector is to lace lowards the
ceiling with the lront edge of the De-
llector parallel to the ceiling.
Step 2. With pipe thread sealant ap-
plied to the pipe lhreads, hand tighten
lhe sprinkler inlo the sprinkler fitting.
Step 3. Tighlen the sprinkler into the
sprinkler litting using only the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench (Ret. Figure 3).
With reference to Figure 1 , the W-Type
6 Sprinkler Wrench is to be applied to
the wrench llats.
The Series LFll Recessed Horizontal
Sidewall Sprinklers must be installed
in accordance with the lollowino in-
structions.
Step A, Recessed horizontal sidewall
sprinklers are to be installed in the
horizontal oosition with their centerline
of waterway perpendicular to the back
wall and parallel to the ceiling. The
word "TOP" on the Def lector is to f ace
lowards the ceiling.
Step B. After installing the Style 20
Mounting Plale over the sprinkler
threads and with pipe thread sealant
applied to the pipe threads, hand
tighten the sprinkler into the sprinkler
fitting.
Step C. Tighten the sprinkler into the
sprinkler litting using only the W-Type
7 Recessed Sprinkler Wrench (Ref.
Figure 4). With reference to Figure .l,
the W-Type 7 Recessed Sprinkler
Wrench is to be applied to the sprinkler
wrench flats.
Step C. Atler the wall has been in-
slalled or the linish coat has been ao-
plied, slide on the Style 20 Closure
over the Series LFll Sprinkler and
push lhe Closure over the Mounting
Plate until its flange comes in contacl
wlth the wall.

/voIEs
Absence of an Escutcheon Plate may
delay the sprinkler operation in a fire
situation.
Before closing a lire protection system
main control valve lot maintenance
work on the fire prctection system
which it contrcls, permission to shut
down the affected firc protection sys-
tem must be obtained lrom the proper
authorities and all personnel who may
be affected by this action must be no-
tilied.
Sprinklers which are tound to be leak-
ing or exhibiting visible signs of corro-
sion must be reolaced.
Aulomatic sorinklers musl never be
painled, plated, coaled, or otherwise
altered af ter leaving lhe factory. Modi-
fied sprinklers must be replaced.
Sprinklers that have been exposed to
corrosive products of combustion, but
have nol operated, should be replaced
if they cannot be completely cleaned
by wiping the sprinkler with a clolh or
by brushing it with a soft bristle brush.
Care musl be exercised lo avoid dam-
age to the sprinklers - befpre, during,
and afler installation. Sorihklers dam-
aged by dropping, striking, wrench
twisvslippage, or the like, must be re-
placed. Also, replace any sprinklerthat
has a cracked bulb or that has lost
liquid lrom ils bulb. (Ref . Installation
Section).
The owner is responsibld for the in-
spectjon, testing, and maintenance of
their tire protection system and de-
vices in compliance wilh this docu-
ment, as well as with the applicable
slandards ot the National Fire Protec-
tion Association (e.9., NFPA 25), in
addition to the standards of any other
authorilies having jurisdiclion. The in-
slalling contraclor or sprinkler manu-
facturer should be contacled relative
lo any questions.
NOTE
The owner must assure that the sorin-
klers are not used for hanging of any
objects and that lhe sprinklers are only
cleaned by means ol gently dusling
with a leaiher duster; olherriise, non-
operation in the event ol a fire or inad-
vertent operution may rcsult.
It is recommended that automatic
sprinkler systems be inspected,
tested, and maintained by a qualified
lnspection Service in accordance with

Vail Village and LionsHead Village Construction Hours
Information Handout
Problem Statement
The Vail Village and LionsHead Village are invaluable assets to the community. Thousands of people come to Vail each year to
sightsee, recreate, shop and to enjoy everything the Vail Valley has to offer. The community and merchants rely upon our guests to
generate revenue. Our summer/winter guests expect a pleasant experience while in Vail,
To insure that all of the proposed construdtion has as little negative impact on the community and on our guest as possible, the Town
of Vail finds it imperative to create and i4plement the Vail Village and LionsHead Village Construction Hours Handout.
It would be irresponsible for the Town of Vail, the construction contractors and the merchants, to not actively participate to minimize
the impact of construction in the Vail and LionsHead Village areas.
The Vail Village Streetscape Ptroject will continue through 2006. Improvements scheduled for
2005 will be concentrated along Gore Creek Drive west of the Children's Fountain, Gore Creek
Promenade and around the frontage of the Mill Creek Court Building. Additional streetscape
improvements are scheduled to begin atong East Meadow Drive.
All construction projects and/or remodels within the Vail Village Core Area should contact
Scott Bluhm, Town of Vail Streetscape Coordinator, at 970-477-3418 for further information.
Givens
The following givens are intended to provide the basic foundation by which construction will be completed in
the villages:
. The public's health, safety and welfare shall be honored at all times..
. Adequate pedestrian, loading/delivery vehicle, and emergency vehicle access and circulation shall be
maintained.
. Roadways and pedestrian walkways shall be kept clean and free of dirt and debris.
. All construction deliveries, equBment, tools and materials entering the Vail Village and pedestrian areas
must go through CheckPoint Charlie. All LionsHead construction activity must go to the Vail Police
Department for a parking penirit. Do not use delivery zones for construction parking; refer to approved
staging plan or make other arrfangements for parking.
. The hours of outside construction activity shall be as follows:
- April 15 - June 23 & September 5 - November tl, Z,oOa.m. until 7:00 p.m., seven days a week.
June 3O thru September 1, work must end by 4:00 p.m. on Fridays.
