Copper Compression Joint Specifications Clause Samples
The Copper Compression Joint Specifications clause defines the technical and quality requirements for copper compression joints used in a project. It typically outlines the standards these joints must meet, such as material grade, size, installation procedures, and testing methods to ensure proper electrical and mechanical performance. By setting clear expectations for the type and quality of copper compression joints, this clause helps prevent installation errors and ensures system reliability, thereby reducing the risk of future failures or maintenance issues.
Copper Compression Joint Specifications. The following manufacturers are listed as offering curb stop valves in essential compliance with these specifications. Responsibility rests with the supplier to demonstrate that a particular curb stop model complies fully with these specifications. Manufacturers other than those listed may be acceptable, and will be given full consideration, provided the supplier can satisfy the District that these specifications are met. Accepted Manufacturers are:
Copper Compression Joint Specifications.
1. Compression joint is hereby defined to be a joint whereby plain end copper tubing is connected to a fitting and locked into place by compressive forces created when a nut threaded onto the body of the fitting is tightened. A compression joint shall require no preparation of the end of the tubing other than simple cleaning.
2. A compression joint shall consist of:
a. a receptacle in the fitting body for the end of the copper tubing, the outside of which receptacle shall be threaded to accept the coupling nut; and
b. a gasket which shall provide the hydraulic seal for the joint and transmit the compressive forces to the gripper band; and
c. a gripper band which shall produce circumferential indentations in the tubing, thereby restraining the tubing and preventing joint separation; and
