Model Forum / General / Models / October 2006BS 864-2 pipe fittings
Has anyone access to a copy of BS 864-2 which defines the specs for various copper pipe fittings? I want to see the spec for "Type B Manipulative Fittings" which are flared fittings to you and me and am particularly interested in the 3/4" size. I'm making fittings to match existing work, but there is quite a variation in angles and face sizes - be nice to know what is correct! AWEM At a guess,each manufacturer would have there own specs for manipulativ fittings and would make a form tool to match. For underground fittings it used to be a a shaped drift and a hammer,s probably isn't that critical because the copper will deform to match th olive or fitting. There also used to be a pipe fitting where a bead was formed round th wall of the pipe,that did need a particular tool to form the bead.Oka if you remembered to put the nut on first.
