Title
Manually Operated Gas Valves For Appliances, Appliance Connector Valves And Hose End Valves
CSA America, Inc.
Publication Date:
Jul 1, 2009
Scope:
This standard applies to manually-operated gas valves (see Part
IV, Definitions), hereinafter referred to as valves, not exceeding
4 in (102 mm) pipe size, and pilot shut-off devices (see Part IV,
Definitions), hereinafter referred to as devices. Except for hose
end valves not intended for permanent connection to a hose, and
appliance connector valves, these valves and devices are intended
to be used as part of a gas-fired appliance.
This standard does not apply to valves intended for use in
building piping systems.
Valves and devices shall be constructed entirely of new unused
parts and materials.
This standard applies to valves and devices for use with
natural, manufactured and mixed gas, liquefied petroleum (LP) gases
and LP gas-air mixtures at pressures not in excess of ½ psi (3.45
kPa).
Valves and devices covered by this standard shall be capable of
operation at ambient temperatures of 32°F (0°C) to 125°F (51.5°C).
They shall also be capable of operation at a higher temperature, a
lower temperature, or both when so specified by the manufacturer
(see 2.1.2).
A valve may be an individual valve or may be incorporated as
part of a device which includes other means to control main burner
gas. A component(s) of such a device performing a function other
than that covered by this standard shall comply with the applicable
American National Standard(s) or Canadian Standard(s).
Compliance with this standard does not imply that such valve or
device is acceptable for use on gas appliances without supplemental
tests with the valve or device applied to the particular appliance
design.
If a valve for measurement as given in this standard is followed
by an equivalent value in other units, the first stated value is to
be regarded as the specification.
All references to psi throughout this standard are to be
considered gauge pressures, unless otherwise specified.
