Import Tips
• Include burst pressure test results in documentation to demonstrate compliance with plumbing codes like ASME A112.18.6
• Ensure fittings are lead-free certified for potable water applications to meet EPA standards
• Avoid common pitfalls by specifying 'flexible connector' vs. rigid pipe in invoices to prevent reclassification
