TABLE OF CONTENTS
CAUTIONS/LIMITATIONS
• Air or compressed gas shall never be used for pressure testing rigid thermoplastic piping systems.
• Temperature correction factors shall be applied when operating temperatures exceed 23ºC.
• Only Schedule 80 pipe may be threaded up to and including 4” size, and threads shall be in accordance with ANSI
B1.20.1 Taper pipe Thread.
• Only water soluble oil or water shall be used when threading CHEM PRO pipe.
• Only Teflon tape shall be used when making plast connections.
• Flanged systems shall not exceed 150 psi working pressure.
• Threaded joints shall have 50% of the pressure rating of Schedule 80 pipe.
• ASTRAL CHEM PRO CPVC is not recommended for use with most polar organic solvents such as chlorinated or
aromatic hydrocarbons, esters, or ketones. Prior testing is recommended when required service includes surfactant,
oil, or grease. Consult ASTRAL for specific chemical resistance information.
