CPVC products resist attack from a wide range of chemicals that are corrosive to metallic piping. CPVC products can however be damaged by contact with chemicals found in some construction and ancillary products such as thread sealants, anti-freeze solutions, fire stop materials, etc. It is important to verify the compatibility of materials that come in contact with the CPVC system prior to use to ensure long-term performance. • DO NOT stack, support, hang equipment, or hang flexible wire/cable (especially communications cable), or other material on the CPVC system. • DO NOT expose CPVC products to incompatible substances such as cutting oils, non-water based paints, packing oils, traditional pipe thread paste and dope, fungicides, termiticides, insecticides, detergents, building caulks, adhesive tape, solder flux, flexible wire/cable (with special consideration for communications cabling), and non-approved spray foam insulation materials. • DO NOT expose CPVC products to edible oils, solvents, or glycol-based anti-freeze fluids. • DO NOT expose CPVC products to open flame, solder, and soldering flux. • DO NOT drop, distort, or impact CPVC products or allow objects to be dropped on them. • Certain fire-stopping sealants and components contain stress cracking agents and other chemicals which may cause damage to CPVC piping; contact the appropriate manufacturer for compatibility with CPVC piping prior to use. Failure to follow this notice may cause cracks or fractures to develop in CPVC products resulting in property damage and personal injury due to leaks or flooding. |
