ANSI — American National Standards Institute

The ANSI standards listed below represent the standards to which Spears^® products conform. The complete ANSI standard can be purchased at www.ansi.org

ANSI B1.20.1

Specifies basic thread form, taper, and tolerances of general-purpose tapered pipe threads (metal).

ANSI B16.5

Specifies standard bolthole patterns and basic dimensions for Class 150 steel pipe flanges.

NSF_® Intl — NSF_®International

NSF_®International standards listed below represent the standards to which Spears^® products conform. Information pertaining to NSF_® International can be obtained at www.nsf.org.

NSF_®Intl— NSF_®International

NSF_®International is a third party product approval agency, which tests manufacturer’s product against a variety of health and product performance standards. They are one of the most recognized agencies for issuing approval of plastic piping system products for potable water use.

NSF_® Intl Standard 14

Certifies product suitability for potable water use, product conformance to applicable ASTM standards, and establishes minimum requirements for manufacturer’s quality control programs through routine testing and facilities inspections.

NSF_® Intl Standard 14 Special Engineering

Appurtenance Program (S.E.)

In addition to Standard 14 general requirements, the S.E. program establishes product performance requirements where no directly applicable ASTM specifications exist. NSF_® Intl S.E. specifications are developed from a combination of applicable portions of ASTM specifications and manufacturer’s design specifications as a standard for conformance verification.

NSF_® Intl Standard 61

Developed to establish minimum requirements for the control of potential adverse health effects from products in contact with drinking water. Certifies product suitability for use in potable water systems through toxicological testing for contaminates or impurities. NSF_® Standard 61 compliance is a prerequisite to NSF_®International Standard 14 certification.
