scope:
This standard applies to gas hose connectors (see Part IV, Definitions), hereinafter referred to as connectors. A connector shall be:
a. Newly produced and constructed entirely of new, unused parts and materials.
b. Equipped at each end with either a slip-end fitting or with a fitting provided with standard taper pipe threads; and
c. For use only with portable, indoor gas-fired equipment that requires mobility during operation.
For purposes of this standard, an unused connector, including end fittings, is considered to be a connector that has not been installed.
Connectors covered by this standard are intended:
a. For connection to the gas supply piping of laboratory, shop or ironing equipment that requires mobility during operation and is observed or supervised during use;
b. For use only in unconcealed indoor locations
c. For use only in locations where they will not be exposed to excessive temperatures [above 125 F (51.5oC)];
d. For use only with natural, manufactured or mixed gases having a specific gravity less than 1.0; and
e. For use on gas piping systems having fuel gas pressures not in excess of ½ psig (3.45 kPa).
If a value of measurement as given in this standard is followed by an equivalent value in other units, the first stated value is to be regarded as the specification.
Exhibit A contains a list of standards specifically referenced in this standard, and sources from which these reference standards may be obtained.
