UV-Resistant Polypropylene Pipe for Chemicals
This polypropylene pipe resists the damaging effects of ultraviolet light, so it’s suitable for outdoor use. It has the chemical resistance to withstand a wide variety of acids, solvents, and other harsh substances. Pipe has thick, strong walls for heavy duty chemical processing applications. It meets ASTM D4101 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 VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) regulations.

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.
Pipe that meets ASME B1.20.1 adheres to quality specifications for thread dimensions.

Gravity-Flow CPVC Pipe for Corrosive Chemical Waste
- For Use With: Hydrochloric Acid, Nitric Acid, Salt Water, Sulfuric Acid
- Temperature Range: 40° to 200° F
- Specifications Met: ASTM F2618, IAPMO Listed, NSF/ANSI 14, UL 94 V-0
Use this pipe in gravity-flow applications that involve highly-corrosive chemicals–it meets NSF/ANSI 14 requirements for use in corrosive waste systems. Pipe is made of CPVC, which has better chemical resistance than ABS plastic to stand up to acids and other harsh substances. Connect to unthreaded female socket-connect fittings using a CPVC primer and cement (also known as solvent weld). Pipe is comparable to Corzan. It meets UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance and ASTM F2618 specifications and testing requirements for material quality. It is IAPMO certified to comply with the International Association for Plumbing and Mechanical Officials product performance standards and the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) for installation and repair of plumbing systems.
Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings and pipe with compressed air or gas.

Plastic Push-to-Connect Tube Fittings for Chemicals
- For Use With: Inch: Alcohol, Hydrochloric Acid, Nitric Acid, Sodium Carbonate, Sulfuric Acid
Metric: Acetic Acid, Alcohol, Arsenic Acid, Benzoic Acid, Fluoboric Acid, Sodium Carbonate, Sulfuric Acid - Temperature Range: Inch: 0° to 270° F
Metric: 32° to 175° F - Tubing: Use with hard (Durometer 55D-60D) FEP plastic
Also known as instant fittings, these chemical-resistant plastic fittings connect to tubing with a push. An internal gripping ring holds the tubing tight. To disconnect, push on the release ring and pull the tubing out of the fitting. Use these fittings in low-pressure applications.
PPS fittings resist a wide variety of chemicals, although are not for use with hydrochloric acid or nitric acid. They withstand temperatures up to 175° F.
PVDF fittings offer excellent chemical resistance, and can be used with hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. They withstand temperatures up to 270° F, higher than other push-to-connect fittings for chemicals. They are produced in a clean room and are bagged individually to prevent dirt and moisture from contaminating the inside. PVDF is also known as Kynar.
NPTF (Dryseal) threads are compatible with NPT threads.
