Hard Plastic Tubing for Drinking Water
Tubing meets NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for drinking water. It is made without plasticizers like DEHP, so it won’t impart tastes or odors to the fluid running through it. A lightweight alternative to copper tubing, it connects to fittings with no heat or soldering required. Tubing is opaque, so you cannot see inside the line.
CPVC tubing connects to socket-connect fittings with a CPVC primer and cement (also known as solvent weld). It can handle higher pressures than polyethylene tubing. It is rigid and will not bend. Tubing meets ASTM D2846 specifications and testing requirements for plastic hot- and cold-water distribution systems.
Copper tube size is the accepted designation of the copper tubing industry, not the actual tube OD.

Just as resistant to acids and alkalies as PVC, yet CPVC withstands higher temperatures. Use these tubes to protect wires and cords from chemicals, or make them into parts for chemical-processing applications. They are easy to thermoform, plus they’re excellent electrical insulators. The OD is oversized and the ID is undersized to allow for finishing to the sizes listed.
