1.1 Scope
This Standard establishes minimum requirements for materials in the construction of a sanitary waste valve (here-inafter referred to as “the valve”) for use as an alternate to a tubular p-trap.This Standard prescribes minimum testrequirements for the performance of the valve together with methods of marking and identification.This Standard doesnot define the requirements for products to be used in urinals or water closets. lt is not intended that products meetingthis Standard will be used in a urinal or water closet.
The provisions of this Standard are notintended to prevent the use of any alternate material or method of constructionprovided any such alternate meets the intent of this Standard.
1.2 Units of Measurement
Values are stated in U.S.Customary units and in the International System of Units (SI).TheU.S.Customary units shall beconsidered as the standard.
ln this Standard,gallons(U.S.liquid)per minute is abbreviatedgpm, and liters(metricliquid)perminute is abbreviatedL/min.

1.4 Definitions
bladder/checking member: the component of the sanitary waste valve that provides the sealing function.
sanitary waste valve: a product used as an alternate to a water-filled tubular waste trap that provides protection for theproperty from foul air in the sewer.
2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS2.1 Material
The valve shall meet the material requirements of ASTM F409.The valve shall be installed in an accessible location.2.2 Seal Material
Seal materials shall comply with or exceed classification M3BA507 A14B13C12 F17 orM2BG714 B14EO14 EO34 ofASTM D2000.
2.3 Bladder/Checking Member Material
Bladder/checking member material shall comply with or exceed classification M3FC607 EA14 EO16 G11 of ASTMD2000.
2.4 Valve Inlet
2.4.1The valve inlets shall be 1 ‘/4 in.(31.8 mm) or 1’1/2 in.(38.1 mm) nominal straight or with an 871’%;-deg elbow or bestandard pipe size straight inlets (see Figure 2.4.1-1).
2.4.2The base of the thread may be sealed by a sealing washer (inlet set) at the base of the thread.The useful threadlength shall be between 2%g in.(9.5 mm) and 1/2 in.(12.7 mm). All threaded fixture outlets shall have a minimum three-thread engagement for fittings and plastic nuts to correctly engage and energize the inlet seal in accordance with ASTMF409.
2.4.3 1f required for horizontal installations, an 871/-deg knuckle adapter shall be available to allow the valve to beconnected in a horizontal position.When installed in a horizontal position, the device and connected piping shall have aminimum slope of 1:48 [i.e.. /4 in./ft (21 mm/m)]
2.4.4Ifrequired,astraight-runningadaptershallbeavailable to allowthevalveto be connectedto the piperatherthan the fixture outlet.
2.5 Valve Outlet
The valve outlet shall have a connection that is compatible with tubing or pipe complying with ASTM F409, ASTM D2661, or ASTM D2665 or threaded connections complying with ASME A112.18.2/CSA B125.2.
2.6 Threaded Connections
All threads that connect to external fixtures shall comply with ASME B1.20.1.
3 TESTING 3.1 Waterway Flow Rate 3.1.1 Test Method. Connect the valve to the waste outlet hole ofthe tank in accordance with Figure 3.1.1-1 and the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Fill the test tank with water up to the test level. Stabilize the test level by adjusting the water inflow by means of the regulating valve. When the test water level is stabilized, the flow rate of the valve is indicated by the flowmeter.
