Made of CPVC, this pipe can withstand high temperatures up to 170° or 200° F. It meets NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for drinking water. Also known as Schedule 80 pipe, it has thick, strong walls for use in heavy duty industrial plumbing and water supply applications, such as water processing and waste water treatment. Pipe has good corrosion resistance. It is comparable to Corzan.

Connect unthreaded pipe to unthreaded female socket-connect fittings using a CPVC primer and cement (also known as solvent weld).

To prevent leaks in threaded connections, apply a non-hardening, plastic-compatible sealant to the male threads. Tape or sealants with PTFE are not recommended for plastic-to-plastic threaded connections. When making a threaded connection be careful not to overtighten the threads. To prevent cracks and leaks, finger tighten the fitting, then wrench-tighten one to two turns.

Fully threaded pipe is also known as a close nipple; it is threaded on each end to the center.

ASTM D1784 pipe meets specifications and testing requirements for material quality.

Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings and pipe with compressed air or gas.

Sealants cannot be sold to Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Northern Virginia, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, or Utah due to local regulatory limits on VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).
