General Purpose Copper Tubing
This tubing has good corrosion resistance and excellent heat transfer qualities. It is seamless, which provides a smooth interior for unrestricted flow. It can be flared without splitting. All tubing meets international standards for copper tubing.
- Temperature Range: -420° to 400° F
- Bendable: No
- Specifications Met: ASTM B75
- Compatible Tube Fittings: Compression and Solder Connect
Brass Tubing
Frequently used in a wide range of plumbing applications, this tubing holds up well in mildly corrosive environments. Tubing is seamless, so it has a smooth interior for unrestricted flow.
Clear-View Thick-Wall Plastic Pipe for Water
See what’s flowing through your line with this clear pipe. Since it’s Schedule 80, this pipe has thicker, stronger walls than standard-wall pipe, so you can use it for 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. This 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
Connect unthreaded pipe to unthreaded female socket-connect fittings using a PVC primer and cement (also known as solvent weld). Unthreaded pipe meets NSF/ANSI 61 for use with drinking water systems.
