    Flame-Retardant PVDF Pipe Fittings for Food and Beverage

    Made of PVDF, also known as Kynar, these fittings stand up to the harsh chemicals used to clean food processing lines. Unlike other plastic fittings, such as nylon and acetal fittings, they’ll resist degrading when exposed to strong alkali and highly acidic solutions. These fittings are FDA compliant and meet NSF/ANSI 61, so they're safe to make direct contact with food and drinking water. They also won't transfer tastes or odors to your food and beverages. Use them with both hot and cold substances. Since they're made of PVDF, these fittings can stand up to impact. They meet strict IEC standards for flame retardance, so they delay the spread of flames.
    Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings, flanges, and pipe with compressed air or gas.

    Applicator-Top Can

    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. 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.

    Flame-Retardant High-Purity PVDF Pipe Fittings for Harsh Chemicals

    Finished to a 12 Ra smoothness, these PVDF fittings handle some of the harshest chemicals without leaching contaminants into your line. They’re also easy to clean and won’t accumulate particles. Comparable to Kynar, these fittings handle most organic solvents that would dissolve CPVC as well as chlorine or nitric acid that would weaken polypropylene. They meet UL 94 V-0 and FM standards for flame retardance. Weld them to pipe using a socket fusion tool with a heater bushing that matches your pipe size.
    Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings, flanges, and pipe with compressed air or gas.

    Stub-End Straight Adapters
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Pipe Stub Ends. Flame-Retardant High-Purity PVDF Pipe Fittings for Harsh Chemicals.
    Stub-end straight adapters are used with flanges. Slide a flange onto the stub end and weld the stub end to pipe (not the flange). Since the flange isn’t welded to the pipe, it can be disconnected easily, which creates an access point for frequent cleaning and inspecting.

    Fiberglass Pipe Flanges for Chemicals

    Reinforced with layers of fiberglass, these flanges are stronger and more durable than our other pipe flanges for chemicals. They handle a wide range of acids and other corrosive chemicals used in applications such as metal surface treating and plating solution lines. Bolt two same-size flanges together with a gasket (not included) to create an access point within a line. Flanges meet ASTM D4024 for product dimensions, performance, and material quality.
    To install, sand the inside of flanges and end of pipe to remove the surface finish. Mix adhesive (sold separately) until the color is uniform and there are no streaks. Place a thin layer of mixed adhesive approximately 1/8" thick on the sanded area of the pipe and 1/16" thick on the inside of the flange. Push the flange onto the pipe until it is fully engaged. Make sure to align the bolt holes prior to installing to minimize rotation after the flange is installed. Wrap the adhesive-curing heat cable (sold separately) around the pipe and flange at the joint. Do not overlap the tape. Once you have waited the full cure time, the pipe and fitting will be ready to use.
