High-Temperature PTFE Pipe Fittings for Chemicals
Extreme temperatures are no problem for these fittings—they’re made of PTFE, so they can withstand a wider temperature range than any of our other plastic pipe fittings for chemicals. They have the chemical resistance to stand up to acid and solvents. Fittings have thick, Schedule 80 walls for heavy duty industrial applications. The material won’t leach contaminates into the line, so these fittings are commonly used in high-purity processes, such as semiconductor and clean room applications. They have a super-smooth interior for unrestricted flow. 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. Fittings meet ASTM D1710 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.

Also known as Victaulic fittings, these have grooved ends that connect to pipe with a clamp, so you can access your chemical process line for routine maintenance. Fittings are CPVC, which has excellent chemical resistance to withstand a variety of salt solutions, acids, and other harsh substances. They are comparable to Corzan. Fittings meet ASTM D1784 specifications and testing requirements for material quality.
Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings and pipe with compressed air or gas.

- Specifications Met: ASTM F2618, IAPMO Certified, NSF/ANSI 14, UL 94 V-0
Made of CPVC, these fittings have better chemical resistance than ABS plastic gravity-flow fittings and can stand up to highly-corrosive acids and other harsh substances. They meet NSF/ANSI 14 requirements for use in corrosive waste gravity-flow systems. Fittings are comparable to Corzan. They meet UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance and ASTM F2618 specifications and testing requirements for material quality. They are IAPMO certified to comply with the International Association for Plumbing and Mechanical Officials product performance standards and the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) for installation and repair of plumbing systems.

Plastic Push-to-Connect Tube Fittings for Chemicals
- For Use With: Inch: Acetic Acid, Alcohol, Arsenic Acid, Benzoic Acid, Fluoboric Acid, Hydrochloric Acid, Nitric Acid, Sodium Carbonate, Sulfuric Acid
Metric: Acetic Acid, Alcohol, Arsenic Acid, Benzoic Acid, Fluoboric Acid, Sodium Carbonate, Sulfuric Acid - Temperature Range: Inch: 0° to 270° F
Metric: 32° to 175° F - Tubing: Use with hard (Durometer 55D-60D) FEP plastic
Also known as instant fittings, these chemical-resistant plastic fittings connect to tubing with a push, and an internal gripping ring and fluoroelastomer O-ring hold the tubing tight. To disconnect, push on the release ring and pull the tubing out of the fitting.
PVDF fittings offer excellent chemical resistance, and can be used with hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. They withstand temperatures up to 270° F, higher than other push-to-connect fittings for chemicals. They are produced in a clean room and are bagged individually to prevent dirt and moisture from contaminating the inside. PVDF is also known as Kynar.
NPTF (Dryseal) threads are compatible with NPT threads.

A sleeve (ferrule) compresses the tubing as you tighten the nut, creating a strong seal. The nut and sleeve are included. Fittings are also known as flareless fittings. Fittings that include a gripper sleeve on the tubing create an even tighter seal.
PFA fittings stand up to harsh substances. They’re made through a melting process. PTFE fittings are highly resistant to most acids, alcohols, detergents, and solvents. They’re made by machining. Their nut is made of PVDF, which is resistant to halogens such as chlorine and bromine, strong acids such as hydrofluoric and nitric acids, and organic solvents.
