Schedule 80 CPVC Fittings

CPVC fittings are used in corrosive chemical resistant applications. Fittings can range from 1/8” to 24” in size and can be used in applications reaching as high as 200°F. CPVC fittings are designed for pressure applications. CPVC fittings are resistant to most acids, bases, salts, aliphatic solutions, oxidants, and halogens. The most common applications for CPVC fittings are in chemical processing, plating, high purity applications, potable water systems, wastewater treatment plants, and other industrial corrosive media applications. Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) fittings are only offered in a schedule 80 thickness. CPVC fittings meet industry standards and requirements as in association with ASTM D 1784 and NSF. The fittings are light gray in color and require CPVC solvent for glue installation.

Schedule 80 CPVC fittings are heavy duty piping components made to handle demanding applications in industrial, commercial, and residential settings. Engineered to strict standards, these fittings have superior strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion which makes them ideal for use in CPVC piping systems to transport corrosive liquids, chemicals, or hot liquids. CPVC fittings are used to connect, redirect, resize, or adapt pipes, other fittings, or equipment to create a secure and reliable plumbing network. Schedule 80 CPVC fittings are also known as heavy duty or industrial CPVC fittings and serve a vital role in the design, construction, and completion of a liquid conveyance system.

The fittings are made from Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC), a thermoplastic material with high corrosion resistance, chemical compatibility, and a safe temperature range up to 200°F (93°C). CPVC fittings are made to Schedule 80 standards and feature thicker pipe walls compared to their Schedule 40 counterparts. The increased pipe thickness enhances their durability, pressure rating, and overall resistance to chemicals. Due to their superior physical properties, Schedule 80 CPVC fittings are widely used. CPVC fittings are resistant to most acids, bases, salts, aliphatic solutions, oxidants, and halogens. Common applications for CPVC fittings are in chemical processing, plating, high purity applications, laboratories, potable water systems, wastewater treatment plants, and other industrial corrosive media applications.

Chemical Applications

Schedule 80 CPVC fittings have excellent chemical resistance and wide compatibility due to the increased chlorination that occurs during production. These characteristic properties are why CPVC fittings are commonly used in industrial applications and manufacturing processes that rely on chemicals to complete their work and make products. The extra pipe thickness provided by Schedule 80 engineering also provides improved physical strength and chemical durability for longer lasting, more reliable performance. 

Common chemicals used with Schedule 80 CPVC fittings include bleach (sodium hypochlorite), alcohols such as ethanol and isopropyl alcohol, acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid, and phosphoric acid, bases such as sodium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, ionic solutions such as sodium chloride, calcium chloride and potassium chloride, and oxidizers such as hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate. 

Chemical compatibility should always be thoroughly assessed and verified before installing and using CPVC piping and fittings in chemical applications.

Recommended Installation Practices

Proper connection methods and techniques should be followed when installing Schedule 80 CPVC pipe fittings to ensure secure, long lasting, leak proof connections. When installing slip on CPVC socket fittings, a process known as solvent welding, use a strong, CPVC rated primer and cement. For threaded CPVC fittings, a premium thread tape is recommended to prevent leaks. Using the correct or recommended installation methods and materials will help reduce the chance of system malfunction or leaking joints.
