Screw joint drainage fittings were developed in about 1880 by the Durham House Drainage Co. of New York and are
often referred to as Durham fittings. Atthat time, soil pipes and drains in New York had been required to be of plumber’s
‘ast iron soil pipe, whereas Chicago's soil pipes were required to be of lead or plumber’s cast iron pipe.
‘To form a continuous passageway with no pockets or obstructions where foreign matter could collect and gradually
accumulate, itwas necessary to designa special type of screw fitting. Inside diameters ofthe fittings are about the nominal
size of standard weight wrought steel pipe (Schedule 40), The thread chamber is designed so that when the pipe is tightly
screwed into the fitting its end nearly abuts the shoulder of the fitting, thereby making a practically continuous passage.
‘The threading of these fittings required special care, and the threads on the pipe were cut to suit the threads inthe fitting.
With the passage of time, manufacturers’ practices began to diverge in regard to center-to-end dimensions and other
features. The Manufacturers Standardization Society of the Valve and Fittings Industry (MSS) studied the situation,
developed a standard practice for these fittings, and published MSS SP-8, Cast Iron Drainage Fittings, in 1929. Subse-
quently, for better coordination with other screwed fitting standards under the jurisdiction of the B16 Sectional
Committee of the American Standards Association (ASA), the subject was assigned to Subcommittee 2 of B16.
“Many drafts of the proposed standard were developed, and printer's proofs were distributed to industry for criticism.
and comment in May 1940. Arevised proposal dated July 1941 was submitted to the members ofthe Sectional Committee
for letter ballot vote. Following its approval by that body, it was submitted to the sponsors and to ASA with recom-
‘mendations for approval asan American Standard. This was granted in February 1942, with the designation ASA B16.12-
1942,
‘The MSS Ferrous Screw Fittings Committee made a thorough study of the 1942 Standard and recommended that
several changes be made to bring the data in line with current production and usage ofthis type of fitting. To comply with
the recommendations, Subcommittee 2 of the B16 Sectional Committee revised portions ofthe text and illustrations and
added dimensional tables for Tucker connections, roof connections, and Tucker ¥-branches, as well as dimensions for P-
traps, bath traps, and running traps.
‘Adraft, dated September 1952, was presented tothe Sectional Committee for letter ballot vote. After the committee and
‘other sponsor organizations approved the draft, it was presented to ASA, and approval of ASA B16.12-1953 was granted
(on September 11, 1953.
Subcommittee 2 reviewed the document from 1963 to 1964. The Sectional Committee approved several minor changes.
in format and wording, changing the title to Cast Iron Threaded Drainage Fittings. ASA B16.12-1965 was approved on
November 12, 1965,
In 1970, further review was initiated by Subcommittee 2, now an American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
Committee, and ANSI B16.12-1971 was granted approval on November 1, 1971
‘The Standard was updated, and metric (SI) dimensions were added in ANSI B16.12-1977, approved on February 4,
1977.
In 1982, American Standards Committee B16 was reorganized as the ASME B16 Standards Committee under proce-
dures accredited by ANSI. Also in 1982, Subcommittee B (formerly Subcommittee 2) updated reference standards, and the
revision was approved on July 20, 1983, as ANSI B16.12-1983.
In the 1991 edition of ASME B16.12, reference standards were updated, and the metric dit
Following approval by ASME, ANSI approved the edition on January 4, 1991.
In the 1998 edition of ASME B16.12, reference standards were updated, a quality system program annex was added,
and several editorial revisions were made. Following approval by ASME B16 Subcommittee B and the B16 Main
Committee, ANSI approved the edition on November 20, 1998.
Work started during 1999 to revise the Standard to include metric units as the primary reference units while main-
taining US. Customary units in either parenthetical or separate Forms.
In the 2009 edition, metric dimensions became the primary units, and inch dimensions were incorporated as secondary
units and shown in parentheses. The added inch dimensions constituted an independent but equal standard to the metric
units, ANSI approved the edition on April 6, 2009.
wensions were deleted.In this edition, Mandatory Appendix I has been revised to include updates to the referenced standards. In addition, the
US. Customary tables formerly in Mandatory Appendix I have been merged with the SI tables in the main text; the tables
and figures have been redesignated; Mandatory Appendix I! has been deleted; and the cross-references have been
updated accordingly.
Following approval by the ASME B16 Standards Committee, ANSI approved this edition as an American National
Standard, with the designation ASME B16.12-2019, on July 29, 2019.ASME B16 COMMITTEE

values stated in cach system are not exact equivalents;
therefore, itis required that each system of units be
used independently of the other. Combining values
from the two systems constitutes nonconformance
with the Standard, Some dimensions of steel pipe from
ASME B36.10M are listed for convenience in
Nonmandatory Appendix B in inches only. Tolerances ap-
plicable to dimensions of fittings are specified in paras. 5.2
through 5.6.
5.2 Metal Thickness
‘At no point in the castings shall the metal thickness be
less than 90% of the values listed in Table 4.1
5.3 Thread Chamber
‘The length of thread and total length of thread chamber
to shoulder shall not vary from the dimensions shown in
thetables by more than plus or minus theequivalentof the
pitch of one thread.
5.4 Outside Diameter and Width of Band
‘The minus tolerances given in Table 2.1-1 are permitted
‘on inspection to apply to the diameter ofthe band and the
width of the band.
5.5 Inside Diameter of Fitting
‘The inside diameter shall not vary from dimensions
shown by more than the following
{@) £0.8 mm (0.03 in) for NPS'1% to 4, inclusive
(b) £1.6 mm (0.06 in.) for NPS 5 to 8, inclusive
5.6 Center-to-End
‘The center-to-end dimensions shall not vary from the
given dimensions by more than the values given in
Table 21-2.
5.7 Shoulder
‘These fittings are provided with shoulders so thatwhen
used with Standard Wall Pipe (ASME B36.10M), the end of
the pipe practically meets the shoulder as the joint ismade
up, thereby forming a smooth passageway.
6 THREADING
(a) All fittings (except roof connections) shall be
threaded with American National Standard Taper Pipe
‘Threads (ASME B1.20.1), and the variations in threading.
shall be limited to one turn small and no turn large.
‘Threaded openings without shoulder, however, shall
be limited to one turn large and one turn small from
the gaging notch on the plug when using working
gages. Roof connections may have taper threads as
above or American National Standard Straight PipeASME 916.12-2019
Threads, Free Fitting Mechanical Joint NPSM (ASME
B1.20.1).
() When gaging internal threads, the notch shall be
flush with the bottom of the chamfer, which shall be
considered as being the intersection of the chamfer
cone and the pitch cone of the thread. This depth is
approximately equal to one-half thread from the face
of the fitting.
(©) All threads shall be countersunk a distance not less
than one-half thread at an angle approximately 45 deg
with the axis of the thread, both for easier entrance in
‘making a joint and for protection of the thread. Counter-
sinking shall be concentric with the thread.
(@) The length of thread specified in this Standard shall
be measured to include the countersink.
(2) The maximum allowable variation in the alignment
of threads of all openings of threaded fittings shall be 5
mm/m (0.06 in,/ft).
GP Allfittings having openings of 90 deg nor
shall be tapped with a pitch of 21 mm/m (0.25 in./ft), with
the pitch in the direction shown in Figure 6.
7 RIBS
‘The addition of ribs or lugs shall be allowed on any’
drainage fittings.
8 COATINGS
Fittings may be furnished uncoated or may be coated
with a bituminous composition or zinc coated by the hot
dipped process. The coatings shall be applied prior to
threading.
9 FACE BEVEL
A bevel not exceeding 5 deg is permitted on the faces of
fitting openings. Center-to-end, end-to-end, and width-of-
band dimensions may include or exclude the bevel.ASME 916.12-2019
