To support and withstand expected loads and
forces.
Objective:
OP5
APPLICATION:
Flared-joint fittings for copper tube not made by
casting, in water systems for buildings.
INTENT:
To limit the probability that performance of flared-joint
fittings will fall significantly below expectations, which could lead to failure
of such fittings, which could lead to leakage, which could lead to damage
to the building or facility.
