PVC
-
PVC is one of the most specified thermoplastics for piping system components, including, valves, fittings, flanges, and many specialty products. PVC has excellent chemical and corrosion resistance to a broad range of fluids including water, deionized water, most mineral acids, bases, salts and paraffinic hydrocarbon solutions. PVC is not recommended for use with chlorinated or aromatic hydrocarbons, esters, or polar solvents such as ketones. Spears® PVC materials conform to ASTM Cell Classification 12454 (formerly designated as Type I, Grade 1). The maximum recommended service temperature of PVC products is 140° F (60° C). We stock these sizes, but additional sizes are available upon request.

While many thread sealants and pipe joint compounds claim to be suitable for use with plastics, several have been found to produce stress cracking due to chemical incompatibility. Improper application of TFE tape sealants can result in over-stressed threaded connections and potential joint failures. Research has proven Spears® BLUE 75™ thread sealant to be the superior choice for reliable joint make-up of all Spears® thermoplastic piping products. Brand Name: Spears
