( a ) Fittings shall be made from copper UNS Nos.
C10200,C12000, or C12200, or copper alloy UNS
C23000, for which allowable stressesarefound in
ASME B31.1 or ASME B31.9.
( b ) Other coppers and copper alloys may be used
provided they meet the chemical requirements of
84% minimum copper and 16% maximum zinc, and
provided the fittings produced from the copper ma-
terialsmeetallthemechanicalandcorrosion-
resistant properties for the end purposes of the fit-
tings. The composition of the copper materials shall
contain nothing that will inhibit joiningto tube or to
other fittings.
8.1LinearDimensions
An inspection tolerance as shown in Table 2 shall
be allowed on center to shoulder, center to center,
center to threaded end, and shoulder to threaded
end dimensions on all fittings having female solder
(solder cup) ends, and on center to solder end and
solderendtothreadedenddimensionson all fit-
tings having male solder (fitting) ends.
Coupling inspection limits for shoulder to shoul-
der and shoulder to end dimensions shall be double
those shown in Table 2, except that the minus toler-
ance applied to dimension L shall not result in a di-
mension less than 0.06 in.
The largest opening in the fitting governs the tol-
erance to be applied to all openings.

7 LAYING LENGTHS 8.2 Ovality

Due to widelyvarying manufacturing processes, Maximum ovality shall not exceed 1% of the max-
meaningful laying length dimensions of fittings can- imum diameters shown in Table 3. The average of

FOREWORD

(This Foreword is not part of ASME 616.22-1995.)

Standardization of cast and wrought solder-joint fittings was initiated in Subcommittee

11 of American Standards Association (ASA) Sectional Committee A40 on Plumbing
Requirements and Equipment. Development work culminated in publication of ASA
A40.3-1941. The standardbenefited fromwork done by Mr. A. R.Maupin of the National
Bureau of Standards, both before and during its development, on the strength of solder
joints.
In 1949,work on these fittings was transferred to Sectional Committee B16,which
established Subcommittee 9 (now Subcommittee J) with a scope broader than plumbing
applications. The first standard developed was approved as ASA B16.18-1950, Cast-Brass
Solder Joint Fittings. It was then decided to revise A40.3 as a B16 standard covering only
wrought solder-joint fittings. This effort was facilitated by a 1950 draft prepared by joint
effort of the Copper and Brass Research Association and the Manufacturers Standard-
ization Society of the Valve and Fittings Industry (MSS). The draft, after review and
approval by Subcommittee 9 and the Sectional Committee,was approved as B16.22-1951.
Revisions were published as ASA B16.22-1963 and, after reorganizationof ASA as the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI), as ANSI B16.22-1973. In these editions,
updated practices, new materials, and new types of fittings were incorporated into the
standard, as well as editorial improvements and updating of referenced specifications
and standards.
In 1979, Subcommittee I (formerly 9,now J) added metric dimensional equivalents
and made other minor improvements. This revision wasapproved by ANSI, after approval
by the Committee and secretariat organizations, as ANSI B16.22-1980.
In 1982, AmericanNationalStandardsCommittee B16 was reorganizedas an
ASME Committee operating under procedures accredited by ANSI.
The 1989 edition of this Standard removed metric equivalents and updated referenced
standards.
This 1995 edition contains a defined bursting strength, defined standardgaging method
of threaded ends, revised solder joint lengths for '/S in.-size male and female ends, and
revised minimum wall thickness values based on a comprehensive bursting test study.
Following approval by the Standards Committee and ASME, approval as an American
National Standard was given by ANSI on July 24, 1995, with the new designation ASME
B16.22-1995.
Requests for interpretation orsuggestions for revision should be sent to the Secretary,
B16 Committee, The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, United Engineering
Center, 345 East 47th Street, New York, NY 10017.

WROUGHT COPPER AND COPPER ALLOY

SOLDER JOINT PRESSURE FllTlNGS

1 SCOPE 2.2 Bursting Strength

1.1 General
This Standardfor wrought copperand wrought
copper alloy solder joint seamless fittings, designed
for use with copper water tube, covers:
(a) pressure-temperature ratings;
(b) abbreviations for end connections;
(c) size and method of designating openings of fit-
tings;
(d)marking;
(e) material;
U, dimensions and tolerances; and
(9) tests.
1.2Convention
For the purpose of determining conformance with
this Standard, the convention for fixing significant
digits where limits, maximum or minimum values, are
specified shall be “rounding off” as defined in ASTM
E 29. This requires that an observed or calculated
value shall be rounded off to the nearest unit in the
last right-hand digit used for expressing the limit.
2 PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE RATINGS
2.1 Rating of Fitting and of Joint
The rated internal working pressure-temperature
rating for a solder joint fitting is dependent upon not
only fitting and tube strength, but also composition
of the solder used for the joint.
Pressure-temperature rating forsolder joints to the
dimensions of Table 3, made with typical commercial
solders, are given in Annex I.
The system rated internalworking pressure shall be
the lower of the values shown in Table 1 and Annex
I.
1
Fittings manufactured to this Standard shall have
an ambient temperature bursting strength of at least
four times the 100°F rated internal working pressure
as shown in Table 1.
3 ABBREVIATIONS
The following symbols are used to designate the
type of fitting end.
C = solder joint fitting end made to receive copper
tube diameter (female)
FTG = solder joint fitting end made to copper tube
diameter (male)
F = internal ANSI standard taper pipe thread (fe-
male) NPTI
M = external ANSI standardtaper pipe thread
(male) NPTE
4 SIZE
The size of the fittings shown in Tables 3 and 1.1
corresponds to standard water tube size as shown in
ASTM B 88, Specification for Seamless Copper Water
Tube. The size of the threaded ends corresponds to
nominal pipe size.
Fittings are designated by the size of the openings
in the sequence illustrated in Fig. 1.
5 MARKING
Each fitting shall be permanently marked with the
manufacturer’s name or trademark in accordance with
MSS SP-25. Marking may beomitted from any fitting
where it may damage soldering surfaces.

NOTES
(1) The fitting pressure rating applies to the largest opening of the fitting.
(2) For size designation of fittings, see Section 4.

6 MATERIAL
(a) Fittings shall be made from copper UNS Nos.
C10200,C12000, or C12200, or copper alloy UNS
C23000, for which allowable stresses are found in
ASME B31.1 or ASME B31.9.
(b) Other coppers and copper alloys may be used
provided they meetthe chemical requirements of 84%
minimum copper and 16% maximum zinc, and pro-
vided the fittings produced from the coppermaterials
meet all the mechanical andcorrosion-resistant prop-
erties for the end purposes of thefittings. The com-
position of the coppermaterials shall contain nothing
that will inhibit joining to tube or to other fittings.
8INSPECTIONTOLERANCE
8.1LinearDimensions
An inspection tolerance as shown in Table 2 shall
be allowed on center to shoulder, center to center,
center to threaded end, and shoulder to threaded end
dimensions on all fittings having femalesolder (solder
cup) ends, and oncenter to solder end and solder end
to threaded end dimensions on all fittings having male
solder (fitting) ends.
Coupling inspection limits for shoulder to shoulder
and shoulder to end dimensionsshall be double those
shownin Table 2,except that the minus tolerance
applied to dimension L shall not result in a dimension
less than 0.06 in.
The largest opening in the fitting governs the tol-
erance to be applied to all openings.

7 LAYINGLENGTHS 8.2 Ovality

Due to widelyvarying manufacturing processes, Maximum ovality shall not exceed 1% of the max-
meaningful laying length dimensions of fittings can- imum diameters shown in Table 3. The average of
not be established. Consult the manufacturer for
these the maximum and minimum diameters must be within
dimensions. the dimensions shown in the Table.
