UV-Resistant Polypropylene Pipe Fittings for Chemicals
Made of polypropylene, these fittings won’t deteriorate when exposed to the damaging effects of ultraviolet light and are suitable to use outdoors. They have the chemical resistance to withstand a wide variety of acids, solvents, and other harsh substances. Apply a non-hardening, plastic-compatible sealant to the male threads to prevent leaks. 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.
Schedule 40 fittings have thinner walls than Schedule 80 fittings and are typically used in commercial and residential applications.
Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings and pipe with compressed air or gas.
