5.7.1 Welding or Brazing
Fittings fabricated by welding or brazing shall have joints free from defects such as cracks,
undercuts, and gaps. There shall be no burn-through. Fillets shall be uniform and smooth.
5.7.2 Cable Protection
The fittings shall have smooth inner surfaces free from sharp edges that could abrade the
insulation or braid of a cable. Use chamfers or radii where applicable. Break all sharp edges and
corners.
5.8 MARKING
Each RP2000-Series fitting shall be marked in accordance with MIL-STD-130 with the name
of the manufacturer and with its complete part number as specified in this section. Additional
markings may be included at the option of the manufacturer.
5.9 PERFORMANCE
5.9.1 Welding Restriction
Installation of any RP2000-Series fitting shall not require welding, brazing, or similar
operations.
5.9.2 Tensile and Compressive Load Tests
All end-fittings and couplings shall withstand, without slippage, a tensile load of 50 pounds
applied between fitting and conduit for 1 minute. Also, such fittings shall withstand, without slippage, a
compressive load of 50 pounds applied between fitting and conduit for 1 minute.
5.10 QUALIFICATION
5.10.1 Qualification
Manufacturers' designs for end-fittings and couplings must be approved by the Navy.
Qualification tests are not required for adapters, but they must be manufactured in accordance with
this specification. Manufacturers who are interested in having their designs approved should follow
the procedure listed below. Samples sent for testing should be addressed to the Naval Undersea
Warfare Center, Code 3431, Newport, RI 02841-1708. Approval of the RP2100 and RP2200 fittings
will be based on conformity of the fitting to the characteristics outlined in this specification and on any
other factors which may affect intended performance. The Navy reserves the right to require that
sample fittings be made available for testing in all sizes the manufacturer wishes to have approved.
No indebtedness between the U.S. Government and any manufacturer will be incurred in connection
with these qualification tests. Test samples and drawings shall be shipped prepaid by the
manufacturer and will not be returned.
