POLYETHYLENE (PE) PIPING SYSTEMS FOR WATER SUPPLY –

PART 3: FITTINGS
1. Scope
This Malaysian Standard specifies the characteristics of fittings made from polyethylene (PE)
intended for the conveyance of water for human consumption, including raw water prior to
treatment.
It also specifies the test parameters for the test methods referred to in this standard.
In conjunction with other parts of this standard (see Foreword), it is applicable to PE fittings,
their joints and to joints with components of PE and other materials intended to be used under
the following conditions:
a) a maximum operating pressure, MOP, up to 25 bar 1); and
b) an operating temperature of 20 °C as a reference temperature.
NOTES:
1. For applications operating at constant temperature greater than 20 °C and up to 40 °C, see Annex B of MS 1058:
Part 1.
2. It is the responsibility of the purchaser or specifier to make the appropriate selections from these aspects, taking
into account their particular requirements and any relevant national guidance or regulations and installation practices
or codes.
These fittings can be of the following types:
a) fusion fittings;
- butt fusion fittings;
- socket fusion fittings (see Annex B); and
- electrofusion fittings.
b) mechanical fittings;
- compression fittings; and
- flanged fittings.
2. Normative references
See Annex A.

MS 1058: PART 3:2006
3. Terms and definitions, symbols and abbreviations

For the purposes of this standard, the terms and definitions, symbols and abbreviations given
in MS 1058: Part 1 and the following apply.
3.1 Electrofusion socket fitting
Polyethylene (PE) fitting which contains one or more integrated heating elements, that are
capable of transforming electrical energy into heat to realise a fusion joint with a spigot end or
a pipe.
3.2 Electrofusion saddle fitting

Polyethylene (PE) fitting which contains one or more integrated heating elements, that are
capable of transforming electrical energy into heat to realise a fusion onto a pipe.
3.2.1 Tapping tee
Electrofusion saddle fitting (top loading or wrap round) which contains an integral cutter, to cut
through the wall of the main pipe. The cutter remains in the body of the saddle after
installation.
3.2.2 Branch saddle
Electrofusion saddle fitting (top loading or wrap round) which requires an ancillary cutting tool
for drilling the hole in the adjoining main pipe.
3.3 Spigot end fitting
Polyethylene (PE) fitting where the outside diameter of the spigot length is equal to the
nominal outside diameter, dn, of the corresponding pipe.
3.4 Mechanical fitting
Fitting for assembling polyethylene (PE) pipe to another PE pipe or any other element of the
piping system.
The mechanical fitting can be supplied for field assembly or pre-assembled by the
manufacturer. The fitting generally includes a compression part to provide pressure integrity,
leaktightness and resistance to end loads. A support sleeve inserted into the pipe bore
provides a permanent support for the PE pipe to prevent creep in the pipe wall under radial
compressive forces (see Annex C).
NOTES:
1. The metallic parts of the fitting can be assembled to metallic pipes by screw threads, compression joints, welded
or flanged connections, including PE flanges. The fitting can allow either a dismountable or permanently assembled
joint.
2. In some cases the supporting ring can also act as a grip ring.
3.5 Voltage regulation
Control of energy supplied, during the fusion process of an electrofusion fitting, by means of
the voltage parameter.
2
MS 1058: PART 3:2006
3.6 Intensity regulation
Control of energy supplied, during the fusion process of an electrofusion fitting, by means of
the current parameter.
3.7 Socket fusion fittings
Polyethylene (PE) fitting in which the joint with the pipe is made by melting together the outer
part of the pipe with inner part of the fitting by means of heat induced by heated tool.
4. Materials
4.1 PE compound
The PE compound from which the fittings are made shall conform to MS 1058: Part 1.
4.2 Material for non-polyethylene parts
4.2.1 General
All components shall conform to the relevant Malaysian Standard(s). Alternative standards
may be utilised in cases where suitable Malaysian Standards do not exist provided that the
fitness for purpose can be demonstrated.
The materials and constituent elements used in making the fitting (including elastomers,
greases and any metal parts) shall be as resistant to the external and internal environments
as the other elements of the piping system and shall have a life expectancy under the
following conditions at least equal to that of the PE pipe conforming to MS 1058: Part 2 in
which they are intended to be used:
a) during storage;
b) under the effect of the fluids being conveyed; and
c) taking account of the service environment and operating conditions.
The requirements for the level of material performance for non-polyethylene parts shall be at
least as stringent as that of the PE compound for the piping system.
Fittings material in contact with the PE pipe shall not adversely affect the pipe performance or
initiate stress cracking.
4.2.2 Metal parts
All parts susceptible to corrosion shall be adequately protected.
When dissimilar metallic materials are used which may be in contact with moisture, steps
shall be taken to avoid galvanic corrosion.
3
MS 1058: PART 3:2006
4.2.3 Elastomers
Elastomeric materials used for the manufacture of seals shall conform to MS 672 or EN 681-
2, as applicable.
4.2.4 Other materials
Greases or lubricants shall not exude onto the fusion areas, and shall not affect the long-term
performance of the fitting nor have any adverse effect on the quality of the water.
5. General characteristics
5.1 Appearance
When viewed without magnification, the internal and external surfaces of the fitting shall be
smooth, clean and free from scoring, cavities and other surface defects to an extent that
would prevent conformity of the fitting to this standard.
5.2 Design
The design of the fitting shall be such that, when assembling the fitting onto the pipe or other
components, the electrical coils and/or seals are not displaced.
5.3 Colour
The colour of the fitting shall be blue or black.
5.4 Electrical characteristics for electrofusion fittings
The electrical protection that shall be provided by the system depends on the voltage and the
current intensity used and on the characteristics of the electricity power.
For voltages greater than 25 V, direct human contact with the energised parts shall not be
possible when the fitting is in the fusion cycle during assembly in accordance with the
instructions of the manufacturer of the fittings and the assembly equipment, as applicable.
NOTES:
1. This type of fitting is a part of an electrical system as defined in EN 60335-1[1], lEC 60364-1[2] and lEC 60449[3].
A protection against direct contacts with active parts (live conductors) is required for conformity to MS IEC 60529[4].
This protection is a function of the work site conditions.
2. See Annex D for examples of typical electrofusion terminal connectors.
The surface finish of the terminal pins shall allow a minimum contact resistance in order to
satisfy the resistance tolerance requirements (nominal value ± 10 %).
5.5 Appearance of factory made joints
The internal and external surfaces of the pipe and fitting after fusion jointing, examined
visually without magnification, shall be free from melt exudation outside the confines of the
fitting, apart from that which may be declared acceptable by the fitting manufacturer or used
as a fusion marker.
4
MS 1058: PART 3:2006
Any melt exudation shall not cause wire movement in electrofusion fittings such that it leads
to short-circuiting, when jointed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. There
shall be no excessive creasing of the internal surfaces of the adjoining pipes.
5.6 Effect on water quality
The fitting that is in contact with water shall comply with the requirements of MS 1583.
6. Geometrical characteristics
6.1 Measurement of dimensions
The dimensions of the fittings shall be measured in accordance with ISO 3126. In the case of
dispute the measurement of dimensions shall be made not less than 24 h after manufacture
after being conditioned for at least 4 h at (27 ± 2) °C. In case of dispute, the reference
temperature shall be (23 ± 2) °C.
NOTE. This Malaysian Standard adopts the standard temperature of 27 °C for tropical countries as specified in MS
ISO 291.
6.2 Dimensions of electrofusion sockets
6.2.1 Diameters and lengths of electrofusion sockets
When measured in accordance with 6.1 the diameters and lengths of electrofusion sockets
(see Figure 1) shall conform to Table 1.
The mean inside diameter of the fitting in the middle of the fusion zone, D1, shall not be less
than dn.
The manufacturer shall declare the actual maximum and minimum values of D1 and L1 to
determine suitability for clamping and joint assembly.
In the case of a fitting having sockets of differing sizes, each one shall conform to the
requirements for the corresponding nominal diameter.
6.2.2 Wall thicknesses
The wall thickness of the body of the fitting at any point, E, shall be equal to or greater than
emin for the corresponding pipe for any part of the fitting located at a distance beyond 2L1/3
from all entrance faces of the fitting when the fitting and the corresponding pipe are made
