These fittings have excellent corrosion resistance to handle a wide range of acids and other highly-corrosive chemicals. They are commonly used in metal surface treating applications, plating solution lines, and other chemical process applications. Reinforced with layers of fiberglass, they have better strength and durability than any of our other pipe fittings for chemicals. Fittings meet ASTM D3567 specifications for product dimensions.

To connect fittings to pipe, first sand the inside of the fitting and the end of the pipe to remove the surface finish. Next, mix the adhesive (sold separately) until the color is uniform with no streaks. Apply a thin layer of mixed adhesive to the sanded area of the pipe, approximately 1/8” thick. Repeat this process with the inside of the fitting, applying a layer approximately 1/16” thick. After sealant has been applied, push the fitting onto the pipe until it is fully engaged. Finally, use the adhesive-curing heat cable (sold separately) to cure the adhesive. Wrap the tape around the pipe and fitting at the joint, taking care to not overlap the tape. Once you have waited the full cure time, the pipe and fitting will be ready to use.

Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings and pipe with compressed air or gas.
