Made of either nylon or acetal, these fittings resist corrosion, so they won't deteriorate in food processing applications. They won’t transfer tastes or odors to your food or beverages.
To prevent leaks in threaded connections, apply a sealant to the male threads. Threaded connections can be taken apart as needed for maintenance and repair. For metal threads, use PTFE tape. For plastic threads, apply a non-hardening, plastic-compatible sealant. Tape or sealants with PTFE are not recommended for plastic-to-plastic 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.
Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings, flanges, and pipe with compressed air or gas.
Nylon—Nylon fittings and plugs have higher strength and temperature resistance than polyethylene, polypropylene, and other commonly used plastic fittings. These fittings are FDA compliant for repeated use with food at temperatures up to 230° F.
