Abstract: Electrofusion fittings were introduced to the U.S. gas distribution market at the A.G.A. Distribution Conference held in Houston, Tfexas, in 1983 by two manufacturers: Central Plastics Company of Shawnee, Oklahoma and R. W. Lyall & Company of Santa Fe Springs, California. Since that introduction, several other electrofusion fittings have been announced and are on the market or in various degrees of planning. Those that we are aware of include Innogaz of Houston, Tfexas Dresser Industries of Bradford, Pennsylvania DuPont of Wilmington, Delaware and Raychem of Roseland, New Jersey. It was apparent that the market for electrofusion fittings would expand and some guidelines would be needed for the industry to follow in these products. At the Fall 1983 meeting of ASTM Committee F17 on Plastic Piping Systems, a task group, under the jurisdiction of subcommittee F17.10 on fittings, was formed to write a standard for electrofusion fittings. The results of that task groups efforts culminated in late 1987, when F1055 Standard Specification for Electrofusion-type Polyethylene Fittings for Outside Diameter Controlled Polyethylene Pipe & Tbbing was published.
