How to Identify and Measure Fittings
Pipe size is an industry designation, not the actual size. View information about how to measure threaded and unthreaded pipe and pipe fittings.

CPVC Pipe for Hot Water
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).
ASTM D1784 pipe meets specifications and testing requirements for material quality.
Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings and pipe with compressed air or gas.
- For Use With: Acetic Acid (10%), Calcium Chloride, Deionized Water, Drinking Water, Hydrochloric Acid (25%), Nitric Acid (10%), Phosphoric Acid (85%), Salt Water, Sodium Hydroxide (50%), Sulfuric Acid (75%), Water
- Maximum Temperature: 200° F
- Specifications Met: ASTM D1784, NSF/ANSI 61
- Fittings: Use Schedule 80 CPVC plastic
- Flanges: Use Class 150 CPVC plastic
Thick-Wall Plastic Pipe for Water
With thicker, stronger walls than standard-wall pipe, this Schedule 80 pipe can handle heavy duty industrial plumbing and water supply applications, such as water processing, waste water treatment, and irrigation. It’s made of PVC, which has good corrosion resistance. Pipe meets ASTM D1784 and ASTM D1785 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.
- For Use With: Drinking Water, Water
- Maximum Temperature: 140° F
- Specifications Met: ASTM D1784, ASTM D1785, NSF/ANSI 61
- Fittings: Use Schedule 80 PVC Plastic
- Flanges; : Use Class 150 PVC Plastic

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.
