The fittings have a general conformance with dimensional standard MIL Spec. F-52618-D; the flanges and flanged fittings with dimensional standard ANSI B16.1. Fittings are random tested at 120# of air pressure under water, for a normal surface condition rating of 150# pressure. Extra heavy couplings cannot be tested or certified for pressure rating. Individual fittings are not marked with alloy or pressure data.
