Preface

This is the second edition of ASME A112.19.1/CSA B45.2, Enamelled cast iron and enamelled steel plumbing fixtures.

This Standard replaces ASME A112.19.1/CSA-B45.2, Enamelled cast-iron and enameled steel plumbing fixtures, published in 2008.

This edition of ASME A112.19.1/CSA B45.2 includes the following:

1. Table 1 has been updated to include additional defects;

2. deletion of the following definitions:

   1. Lifting;

   2. Orange peel;

   3. Pinhole; and

   4. Pop-off;

3. amendment of the definition for “Lump”;

4. shower outlet dimensions have been added;

5. alternative slip resistant coverage has been added;

6. the warpage test has been amended for clarity;

7. the flange test has been amended to make it consistent with other standards; and

8. other editorial changes were made for better clarification.

This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard.

This Standard was prepared by the ASME/CSA Joint Harmonization Task Group on Plumbing Fixtures, under the jurisdiction of the ASME Standards Committee on Plumbing Materials and Equipment and the CSA Technical Committee on Plumbing Fixtures. The CSA Technical Committee operates under the jurisdiction of the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Construction and Civil Infrastructure. This Standard has been formally approved by the ASME Standards Committee and the CSA Technical Committee. This Standard was approved as an American National Standard by the American National Standards Institute on June 26, 2013.

ASME Notes:

1. This standard was developed under procedures accredited as meeting the criteria for American National Standards and it is an American National Standard. The Standards Committee that approved the code or standard was balanced to assure that individuals from competent and concerned interests have had an opportunity to participate. The proposed Standard was made available for public review and comment that provides an opportunity for additional public input from industry, academia, regulatory agencies, and the public-at-large.

2. ASME does not “approve,” “rate,” or “endorse” any item, construction, proprietary device, or activity.

3. ASME does not take any position with respect to the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any items mentioned in this document, and does not undertake to insure anyone utilizing a standard against liability for infringement of any applicable letters patent, nor assume any such liability. Users of a standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any such patent rights, and the risk of infringement of such rights, is entirely their own responsibility.

4. Participation by federal agency representative(s) or person(s) affiliated with industry is not to be interpreted as government or industry endorsement of this standard.

5. ASME accepts responsibility for only those interpretations of this document issued in accordance with the established ASME procedures and policies, which precludes the issuance of interpretations by individuals.

6. ASME issues written replies to inquiries concerning interpretation of technical aspects of this Standard. All inquiries regarding this Standard, including requests for interpretations, should be addressed to:

   Secretary, A112 Standards Committee

   The American Society of Mechanical Engineers Three Park Avenue

   New York, NY 10016-5990

   A request for interpretation should be clear and unambiguous. The request should

   • cite the applicable edition of the Standard for which the interpretation is being requested.

   • phrase the question as a request for an interpretation of a specific requirement suitable for general understanding

and use, not as a request for an approval of a proprietary design or situation. The inquirer may also include any plans or drawings, which are necessary to explain the question; however, they should not contain proprietary names or information.

ASME procedures provide for reconsideration of any interpretation when or if additional information that might affect an interpretation is available. Further, persons aggrieved by an interpretation may appeal to the cognizant ASME Committee.

Interpretations are published on the ASME Web site under the Committee Pages at https://www.asme.org/codes/ as they are issued.

CSA Notes:

1. Use of the singular does not exclude the plural (and vice versa) when the sense allows.

2. Although the intended primary application of this Standard is stated in its Scope, it is important to note that it remains the responsibility of the users of the Standard to judge its suitability for their particular purpose.

3. This publication was developed by consensus, which is defined by CSA Policy governing standardization — Code of good practice for standardization as “substantial agreement. Consensus implies much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity”. It is consistent with this definition that a member may be included in the Technical Committee list and yet not be in full agreement with all clauses of this publication.

4. CSA Standards are subject to periodic review, and suggestions for their improvement will be referred to the appropriate committee.

5. All enquiries regarding this Standard, including requests for interpretation, should be addressed to Canadian Standards Association, 5060 Spectrum Way, Suite 100, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L4W 5N6.

   Requests for interpretation should

   1. define the problem, making reference to the specific clause, and, where appropriate, include an illustrative sketch;

   2. provide an explanation of circumstances surrounding the actual field condition; and

   3. be phrased where possible to permit a specific “yes” or “no” answer.

Committee interpretations are processed in accordance with the CSA Directives and guidelines governing standardization and are published in CSA’s periodical Info Update, which is available on the CSA Web site at www.csa.ca.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this Standard may be the subject of patent rights. CSA is not to be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Users of this Standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any such patent rights is entirely their own responsibility.

ASME A112.19.1-2013/CSA B45.2-13

Enamelled cast iron and enamelled steel plumbing fixtures

0 Introduction

0.1

This harmonized Standard was developed in response to an industry request for a Standard for evaluation of plumbing fixtures that would be acceptable for use in both Canada and the United States. Harmonized Standards for plumbing fixtures made of other materials are also available or under development.

0.2

Harmonization activities for plumbing fixtures standards were undertaken in 2004 by a Joint Harmonization Task Group (JHTG) on Plumbing Fixtures, in which the ASME and CSA plumbing fixtures committees were equally represented. The responsibility for procedural matters and final approval of technical content was assumed by technical committees at higher levels within each SDO.

1 Scope

1.1

This Standard covers enamelled cast iron and enamelled steel plumbing fixtures and specifies

requirements for materials, construction, performance, testing, and markings.

1.2

This Standard covers the following plumbing fixtures:

1. bathtubs;

2. drinking fountains and water coolers;

3. lavatories;

4. shower bases; and

5. sinks:

   1. kitchen and bar sinks;

   2. laundry sinks;

   3. service sinks; and

   4. utility sinks.

1.3

In this Standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard; and “can” is used to express possibility or capability.

Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.

Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.

Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.
