FAQs

1. Can Schedule 80 PVC fittings be used for hot water applications?

While Schedule 80 PVC fittings are more robust than Schedule 40, they are still limited in heat tolerance and generally not recommended for hot water systems above 140°F (60°C). For higher temperature applications, CPVC (chlorinated PVC) is a better option, as it is specifically designed to handle hot fluids safely.

2. Are Schedule 80 PVC fittings safe for potable water systems?

Yes, Schedule 80 PVC fittings are safe for potable water as long as they are certified NSF-61 for drinking water use. It’s essential to check product labelling and manufacturer specifications to ensure compliance with safety standards for drinking water distribution.

3. How do Schedule 80 PVC fittings compare to metal fittings in terms of corrosion resistance?

Schedule 80 PVC fittings offer excellent resistance to corrosion and chemical damage, far surpassing metal fittings, especially in aggressive or corrosive environments. Unlike metal, PVC won’t rust or degrade when exposed to moisture, salt, or most industrial chemicals, making it ideal for chemical processing or outdoor applications.

4. Can you thread Schedule 80 PVC fittings like metal pipes?

Yes, Schedule 80 PVC fittings can be threaded, but caution is needed. Unlike metal, PVC can crack if over-tightened or improperly threaded. Always use tools designed for plastic and follow torque guidelines. For best results, use thread sealant compatible with PVC rather than Teflon tape, which can cause over-tightening.

5. Are Schedule 80 PVC fittings UV-resistant for outdoor use?

Standard Schedule 80 PVC fittings are not UV-stabilized and may degrade over time with prolonged sun exposure. For outdoor applications, it’s recommended to paint the fittings with a latex-based paint or use UV-resistant coatings to extend their lifespan and prevent brittleness caused by UV rays.
