AHEAD OF THE FLOW

Air Conditioning and

Refrigeration Products
Business-to-Business Solutions
Look to NIBCO for technology leadership.

The velocity with which e-business

evolves demands that new products
and services be continuously developed
and introduced to keep our customers
at the center of our business efforts.
NIBCO provides an entire suite of
business-to-business solutions that is
changing the way we interact
with customers.

NIBCOpartner.comsm is an exclusive set of secure web applications that allow quick access to
customer-specific information and online order processing. This self-service approach gives you
24/7 access to your order status putting you in total control of your business.

Real time information includes:

• Online order entry • Current price checks
• Viewable invoices & reports • Order status
• Inventory availability • Online library of price sheets, catalogs & submittals

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) makes it possible to trade business documents at the speed of
light. This technology cuts the cost of each transaction by eliminating the manual labor and paper-
work involved in traditional order taking. This amounts to cost-savings, increased accuracy and
better use of resources.

With EDI, you can trade:

• Purchase orders • Product activity data
• PO Acknowledgements • Advanced ship notices
• Invoices • Remittance advice

Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI), a sophisticated service for automated inventory management,
reduces your overhead by transferring inventory management, order entry and forecasting to
NIBCO. This is an on-going, interactive partnership with NIBCO.

Through automation, VMI brings results:

• Improves customer service • Cuts transaction costs
• Optimum inventory efficiencies • Peace of mind
• Better forecasting • Relief from day-to-day management

Specifications
All of the advantages found in copper have been capitalized to the utmost degree in the manufacture of NIBCO® fittings. Because of the
accuracy of construction and design, copper plumbing is more efficient and less expensive.
NIBCO manufactures nine general types of fittings: wrot pressure, cast pressure, wrot drainage, cast drainage, flanges, flared tube, threaded
bronze, and insert fittings for PEX. Each has its particular place and use, and each offers its own advantages when used for the proper service
requirement.
Material & construction — NIBCO fittings are made from the highest quality raw materials — cast fittings are offered in traditional copper
alloys C83600 and C84400 as well as high quality, lead-free*, dezincification-resistant (DZR) silicon brass alloy C87850 per ASTM specification
B584. Wrot copper fittings are made from commercially pure copper mill products already meeting current lead-free* requirements per ASTM
specifications B75 alloy C12200.
Lead-Free* refers to the wetted surface of pipes, fittings and fixtures in potable water systems that have a weighted average lead content ≤
0.25% per the Safe Drinking Water Act (Sec. 1417) amended 1-4-2011 and other equivalent state regulations.
NIBCO fittings are produced to meet the requirements of applicable standards.
The majority of NIBCO wrot and cast fittings are manufactured in the U.S.A. and Mexico+. The manufacturing plants at Stuarts Draft, VA;
Nacogdoches, TX; and Reynosa, Mexico are registered to ISO 9001 quality standards.

Following is suggested phrasing to be incorporated in your specifications or bills of material for copper tube fittings.

Copper Fittings
Dimensional Data
The mechanics of making both the solder joint and the brazing joint are comparatively similar. Complete instructions on proper techniques of
both of these joining methods are outlined in this catalog on pages 26-28.
CAUTION: A very important consideration in copper piping is the selection of the proper bonding medium. As a general rule, the
working temperature of the installation is a more important consideration than the working pressures. If the working tempera-
ture is not over 250°F (121°C), either 50-50%* or 95-5% solder can be used successfully. However, if the temperature exceeds
250°F (121°C), a low temperature brazing alloy should be used, with a melting temperature somewhat in excess of 1000°F (538°C).
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN INSTALLATION ERRORS.
CAUTION: According to BMS report No. 58, joints made with tin or tin-alloy solders should not be subject continuously to temperatures above
250°F (121°C). A number of brazing alloys are available and a careful study should be made in every case to determine the proper alloy for the
particular application. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN INSTALLATION ERRORS.
*The Safe Drinking Water Act Amendment of 1986 prohibits the use in potable water systems of any solder having a lead content in excess of 0.2%.

EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION

In the majority of low-pressure heating systems employing copper

tube and installed in small houses or private dwellings, provision
for expansion and contraction is relatively simple. Mains, risers,
and branches to radiators should be free or floating at one end of
the line. Holes should be large enough to permit free movement of
the tube, and care should be exercised so that pipe hangers and
supports permit unrestricted movement and do not anchor the tube.
Wrot copper tube hangers that are both practicable and neat in
appearance are available.
Unusually long runs of copper tubing should be provided with an
expansion bend or loop. By bending soft temper copper tube, a sim-
ple form of expansion loop can be made. With the addition of com-
bination flared-tube to solder joint fittings, as illustrated in Figure
1, these types of loops can be used when space or other limitations
exist. The correct proportions of such expansion loop to meet various
conditions are shown in the accompanying table.

The above chart is calculated using 10ft (3.05m) of copper tubing as

FIGURE 1 the reference point. You may use it as follows: 100ft (30.5m) of cop-
per tube, with a 200°F (93.3°C) temperature change. Reference point
a. U-Bend .2256 inches for 10ft, (5.73mm for 3.05m), multipy by 10 for 100ft
(30.5m), resulting in an answer of 2.256 inches (57.3mm) of expan-
sion or contraction.
NOTE: Calculations for expansion and contraction should be
based on the average coefficient of expansion of copper which is
0.0000094 per °F (0.00001692 per °C) between 77°F and 212°F (25°C
and 100°C). For example, the expansion for each 10ft (3.05m) of any

The Fine Art

of Soldering
When adjoining surfaces of copper and copper alloys meet under proper conditions of cleanliness and temperature,
solder will make a perfect adhesion. The strength of joint is equal to or even greater than the strength of tube alone.
Surface tension seals the joint. Capillary attraction draws solder into, around, and all about the joint. It’s easy to learn
to make a perfect solder joint when you use NIBCO® fittings.

NIBCO® Press System Bronze Ball Valves

NIB-SEAL® Technical Data

NIBCO bronze ball valves installed with NIB-SEAL insulated handles are the only approach that keeps
your insulated piping system completely intact.
The revolutionary NIB-SEAL bronze ball valve stops condensate cold. Its unique thermal barrier design keeps moisture
from infiltrating your insulated system while preventing thermal energy loss through exposed metal handles.

Designed for new installations or retrofitting existing systems, NIB-SEAL bronze ball valves offer a wide range of
advantages for typical commercial HVAC systems as well as industrial applications where insulated piping is desirable.

• Protective sleeve provides a stationary surface to affix the insulation, allowing operation and maintenance of the
valve without destroying the integrity of the insulated system.
• High-strength cylindrical handle design features easy access to standard adjustable memory stop for system
balancing. The valve packing is also readily accessible for routine maintenance.
• Cap and insulating plug provide a vapor seal to prevent exchange of air to maximize the efficiency of your insulated
piping system.
• Position indicators allow at-a-glance determination of whether valve is in open or closed position.
• Pre-formed hole allows for convenient tagging.

Chemical Compatibility
Please consult the most current edition of the NIBCO Chem-Guide for recommendations regarding chemical compatibility of material exposure to specific media
and media-treatment additives. The NIBCO Chem-Guide is a general guide on the topic of chemical compatibility and is by no means an exhaustive resource on
the subject. Ultimately, proper material selection is the responsibility of the installer and/or end-user, taking into account all aspects of a system’s design and
intended use.

Galvanic Potential in Piping Systems

Galvanic corrosion or dissimilar metal corrosion is an electrochemical process that is created through the electrical interaction of two different metals under
the influence of a conductive media (i.e. an electrolyte). An electrolytic cell, much like a battery, is generated by these dissimilar metals using water as the
electrolyte. The electrical charge, developed within the electrolytic cell, drives a preferential attack on the more electrically active metal with the water acting as
the recipient of the discarded metal ions. Such galvanic attack is often encountered in service where iron or steel components are installed, and later corrode, in
a largely copper piping system. Please consult NIBCO Technical Bulletin NTB-0714-01 Dielectric Products Relative to Electrolysis and Galvanic Corrosion.

NIBCO® Press System — Crimp Integrity Testing

Instructions for Fittings & Valves
PRESSURE TESTING:
NIBCO recommends the following leak testing procedures when installing NIBCO Press System with the leak detection feature. These test procedures allow
the installer to find un-pressed connections while the system is being tested under pressure.The uniquely designed EPDM o-ring allows fluids or gases to flow
past the seal and leak when the fitting has not yet been pressed. When the fitting has been pressed, the o-ring will create a water tight seal around the tube.

AIR LEAK TESTING:

1. Pressurize system up to 15 psi maximum using dry, oil free compressed air, carbon dioxide, or nitrogen.
2. Allow system pressure to stabilize for a minimum of 2 hours.
3. If system pressure has dropped, add more air to bring entire system up to 15 psi maximum. If system pressure increases above 15 psi, bleed off excess
pressure to ensure system is at a maximum pressure of 15 psi.
4. If the system pressure continues to drop, inspect all joints for un-pressed fittings. The NIBCO Press System press fittings with the leak detection feature
are designed to leak in an un-pressed condition.
5. Check all pressed joints for air leaks using a commercially available leak test solution or a soap and water mixture.
6. Once the system has been confirmed to be leak free, pressure can be increased to the recommended working pressure to verify system integrity.

WATER LEAK TESTING:

1. Pressurize system up to 50 psi maximum using potable water.
2. Allow system pressure to stabilize for a minimum of 2 hours.
3. If system pressure has dropped, add more water to bring entire system up to 50 psi maximum. If system pressure increases above 50 psi, bleed off
excess pressure to ensure system is at a maximum pressure of 50 psi.
4. If the system pressure continues to drop, inspect all joints for un-pressed fittings. The NIBCO Press System press fittings with the leak detection feature are
designed to leak in an un-pressed condition.
5. Check all press joints for leaking water.
6. Once the system has been confirmed to be leak free, water pressure can be increased to the recommended working pressure to verify system integrity

SYSTEM INTEGRITY TESTING*:

Once a system has been confirmed to be properly installed and no press connections have been left uncrimped, the system is recommended for
testing up to the maximum non-shock working pressure of 200 psi hydrostatic.
NOTE: While NIBCO Press System products are tested to pressures as high as 600 psi, the product system rating limitation of 200 psi is in place to ensure a
safety
factor of three-times proof-testing according to ASME B16.51 Copper and Copper Alloy Press-Connect Pressure Fittings.

SYSTEM INTEGRITY TESTING AT HIGHER PRESSURES*:

NIBCO Press System products can be tested at hydrostatic pressures higher than 200 CWP, not exceeding a maximum pressure of 300 psi hydrostatic for a
maximum test duration of 24 hours, when assembled and tested according to the methods prescribed above.

CAUTION: these testing parameters and protocols apply only to NIBCO products as detailed above: NIBCO accepts no responsibility or liability for any other
manufacturer’s products that may be damaged as a result of such testing.

*System integrity testing applies to leak detect and non-leak detect fittings and valves.

NIBCO® Press System — Installation Instructions

Minimum Distance Between Joints Spacing
To prevent distortion of the tubing, certain fitting sizes require a minimum 1. Sufficient clearance must be left around each joint to allow room for the
distance between crimp joints (refer to Chart 1 below). Failure to provide this pressing tool and jaw to be attached without interference.

System Support
CAUTION — In any installation, the system should be suported to ensure
the minimum stress is imposed on the tube and joints. The NIBCO Press
System should be supported in accordance with normal practice and to local
jurisdiction piping code.

Annealing of Copper Tube

A NIBCO Press System installation should not be conducted within 12" of
a brazed joint. The high temperature required for capillary joinery may
cause the copper tube to become annealed and render it too soft for proper
crimping. However, a NIBCO Press System product may be crimped adjacent
to a soldered joint, as normal temperatures created by silver soldering are
not hot enough to cause the copper tube to become annealed. A (min.) B (min.) C (min.)

Pipe and tube pressure ratings are based on non-shock service.

As the severity of the service application increases, a service-
correction factor should be considered. Specifically, for
Schedule 40 applications that may experience severe cyclical-
pressure loading, such as in irrigation systems, the following
maximum-suggested design pressures are suggested.

Systems with threaded Schedule 80 thermoplastic fittings shall

have a maximum-suggested design pressure of 50% that of
equivalent pipe size pressure rating. This reduction is because
threads are formed by the removal of material. Refer to the
following table for maximum-suggested design pressures.

Conversely, CPVC-CTS pipe and fittings do carry the same

pressure rating, as defined by ASTM D2846. Refer to the
following table for maximum-suggested design pressures.

dropped, or have objects dropped upon them. Pipe ends should
be inspected for cracks resulting from such abuse. Transportation
by truck or pipe trailer will require that the pipe be continuously
supported and all sharp edges on the trailer bed that come in contact
with the pipe must be padded.

Solvent Cements and Primers

Keep containers for solvent cements tightly closed except when in use.
Avoid prolonged breathing of solvent vapors, and when pipe and fittings
are being joined in partially enclosed areas use a ventilating device to
attenuate vapor levels. Keep solvent cements, primers, and cleaners
away from all sources of ignition, heat, sparks, and open flames. Avoid
repeated contact with the skin by wearing proper gloves impervious to
the solvents. Application of the solvents or cements with rags and bare
hands is not recommended; natural fiber brushes and other suitable
applicators can produce satisfactory results.

Solvent Cements and Primers
DANGER:
• Solvent cements and primers are extremely flammable.
• Vapors from solvent cements and primers may be
harmful if inhaled for prolonged periods of time.
• Solvent cements and primers may be harmful if
swallowed.
• Solvent cements and primers may cause skin or eye
irritation.

CAUTION: Solvent cements and primers are composed of

various solvents and as such require special conditions for
storage. Because of their flammability they must not be
stored in an area where they might be exposed to ignition,
heats, sparks, or open flames.

SOLDERING
1. Cut tube end square. Ream, burr and size.

5. Use just enough solder: with wire solder, use 1" for C\v" valve, etc.
If too much solder is use, it may flow past tube and clog seating
area. The correct amount of solder is 1Z\x times the diameter
of the fitting or valve.

2. Use sand cloth or steel wire brush to clean both tube and cup to a
bright metal. Steel wool is not recommended.

6. Remove excess solder with small brush while plastic (soft), leaving
a fillet around end of valve as it cools.

3. Apply flux to outside of tube and inside of solder cup. Surfaces to

be joined must be completely covered. Use flux sparingly.

BRAZING
The strength of a brazed joint does not vary appreciably with the
different brazing materials, but depends to a large extent upon the
maintenance of proper clearance between the outside of the tube and
the valve socket. The interior dimensions of brazing valve sockets are
machined to the closest tolerances and finished smooth to promote full
capillary attraction.

NOTE: the installer is responsible for proper brazing and installation and must follow NOTE: Care should be observed in cleaning and in removing residues of the cleaning
industry best practices when brazing components. medium. Attempting to braze a contaminated or improperly cleaned surface will result
in an unsatisfactory joint. Brazing alloys will not flow over or bond to oxides. Oily or
greasy surfaces repel fluxes, leaving bare spots that oxide and result in voids and
inclusions.

THREADING
Grit, dirt or any foreign matter accumulated in the pipe can hinder
efficient valve operation and seriously damage vital valve parts.

Plastic Piping Standards
Many commercial, industrial, and governmental standards or specifications are available to assist the design engineer in specifying
plastic piping systems. Standards most frequently specified in plastic piping systems are American Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM) Standards. Below is a list and description of those standards most typically applied to industrial plastic piping.

Polyethylene (PE) Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU)

Polyethylene is the most common olefin material and is typical- Polyphenylsulfone is a thermoplastic that is tough, rigid, high-

Copper (Cu)
Copper (Cu) is a natural element that has historically been the
dominant material used in plumbing, heating, cooling, and other
piping applications. Copper is a ductile metal with excellent
thermal conductivity and is corrosion resistant. The materials
used in copper piping products comply with the requirements of
specifications established by the American Society for Testing
and Materials (ASTM). The alloy customarily used for copper
tube and copper fittings is designated as C12200 (Copper No.
122). This alloy contains a minimum of 99.9% pure copper and
is deoxidized by the addition of phosphorus. Other copper alloys
may be used.

California Proposition 65
In November 1986, California voters approved a ballot initiative
to address concerns about exposures to toxic chemicals.
That initiative became The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986, better known by its original name,
Proposition 65. This Proposition requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of chemicals that are known to
the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Over 750 chemicals and materials, including
many metals and plastics, have been listed as of December 12,
2006. Second, Manufacturers are required to provide a "clear
and reasonable" warning before exposing anyone to a listed
chemical. This warning can be give by a variety of means,
such as by labeling a consumer product, by posting signs at
the workplace, or by publishing notices in a newspaper. A
Proposition 65 warning means that the Manufacturer issuing the
warning believes that one or more listed chemicals is present in
its product, even if it is only present in trace quantities.
