Ballast, Scuppers (below freeboard deck to overboard), Cooling Water, Low Pressure Steam. HNBR
sealing element for use in Vacuum, Compressed Air, Cooling Water Systems and Fuel/Lube/Hydraulic
Oil in machinery spaces of category A.

Description
Carbon Steel Cold Press fittings and pipe systems with SC-Contur for the US sizes 3/8" to 2" and also
sizes as per DIN EN 10255:2007 / DIN EN 10216-1:2013 / DIN EN 10217-1:2005. The SC feature
enables quick identification of unpressed fittings. The fittings are offered with different sealing elements:
EPDM and HNBR. The press connection is performed by a hydraulic press tool.

Ratings
M.A.W.P. = 16 bar (232 psi) for EPDM and HNBR sealing elements,

MegaPress EPDM Sealing Element; Maximum Operating Temperature: 0ºF to 250 ºF (-18ºC to 120ºC).

MegaPressG HNBR Sealing Element; Maximum Operating Temperature: -40ºF to 180ºF (-40ºC to
82ºC).

The fittings are designed to be installed with ASTM A53 or ASTM A106 pipe, either Grade A or B.
MegaPress may be installed on FBW, ERW or SML pipe. The pipe wall thickness may be Schedule 10
or Schedule 40.

The fittings may also be used with Schedule 80 pipe limited to the maximum pressure listed above.

The fittings are an approved fire resistant type.

This Product Design Assessment (PDA) Certificate 17-HS1636409-PDA-DUP, dated 16/Aug/2017

remains valid until 11/Jul/2022 or until the Rules or specifications used in the assessment are revised
(whichever occurs first).

This PDA is intended for a product to be installed on an ABS classed vessel, MODU or facility which is in
existence or under contract for construction on the date of the ABS Rules or specifications used to
evaluate the Product.

Use of the Product on an ABS classed vessel, MODU or facility which is contracted after the validity date
of the ABS Rules and specifications used to evaluate the Product, will require re-evaluation of the PDA.

Use of the Product for non ABS classed vessels, MODUs or facilities is to be to an agreement between
the manufacturer and intended client.

ABS has used due diligence in the preparation of this certificate, and it represents the information on the product in the ABS
Records as of the date and time the certificate is printed.
If the Rules and/or standards used in the PDA evaluation are revised or if there is a design modification (whichever occurs first),

a PDA revalidation may be necessary.

The continued validity of the MA is dependent on completion of satisfactory audits as required by the ABS Rules. The validity of
both PDA and MA entitles the product to receive a Confirmation of Product Type Approval.
Acceptance of product is limited to the “Intended Service” details prescribed in the certificate and as per applicable Rules and
Standards.
This Certificate is valid for installation of the listed product on ABS units which exist or are under contract for construction on or
prior to the effective date of the ABS Rules and standards applied at the time of PDA issuance. ABS makes no representations
regarding Type Approval of the Product for use on vessels, MODUs or facilities built after the date of the ABS Rules used for
this evaluation.
Type Approval requires Drawing Assessment, Prototype Testing and assessment of the manufacturer's quality assurance and
quality control arrangements. The manufacturer is responsible to maintain compliance with all specifications applicable to the
product design assessment. Unless specifically indicated in the description of the product, certification under type approval does
not waive requirements for witnessed inspection or additional survey for product use on a vessel, MODU or facility intended to
be ABS classed or that is presently in class with ABS.
Due to wide variety of specifications used in the products ABS has evaluated for Type Approval, it is part of our contract that;
whether the standard is an ABS Rule or a non-ABS Rule, the Client has full responsibility for continued compliance with the
standard.
Questions regarding the validity of ABS Rules or the need for supplemental testing or inspection of such products should, in all
cases, be addressed to ABS.
