Note:Fittings covered by this Standard are connected to an electrical power source during the fusion process. Power sources, cables, and electrical connections are covered by the Canadian Electrical Code, Parts I and 11, as appropriate.

Electrofusion fittings are intended for use with polyethylene pipe that conforms to CSA Standard CAN3-B137.4.

This Standard includes definitions and reference publications, general requirements for materials, performance requirements, requirements for manufactured fittings, specimen preparation requirements, test methods, marking requirements, and workmanship requirements.
