Flexible water connector (flexible connector) — a non-rigid tube or hose with end connections used for connecting a water supply to a fixture, fitting, or appliance. Push-fit fitting — a mechanical fitting that joins pipes or tubes and achieves a seal by pushing the mating pipe or tube into the fitting by hand. The fitting can be removable or non-removable.
4.1.1 Flexible connectors used for delivery of drinking water shall comply with the applicable requirements of NSF/ANSI 61 . 4.1.2 Solder and fluxes shall not exceed 0.2% lead content by mass. Metal alloys shall not exceed 3.7% lead content by mass. 4.1.3 Copper alloy components shall contain at least 56% copper. 4.1.4 Stainless steel components in contact with water shall be made from 300 or 400 series stainless steel. Ferrous steel parts not in contact with water shall be protected by a coating that complies with Clause 4.2. 4.2 Coatings Coatings shall be tested in accordance with and meet the requirements of Clause 5.2 of ASME A1 1 2.1 8.1 /CAN/CSA-B1 25.1 . 4.3 Connections 4.3.1 General Connections shall comply with the performance requirements of this Standard (see Clause 5) and, as applicable, Clauses 4.3.2 to 4.3.7. 4.3.2 Pipe threads NPT or NPTF tapered pipe threads shall comply with the L1 gauge requirements of ASME B1 .20.1 or ASME B1 .20.3 using a tolerance of ± 1 turn.
