Incompatible Products
Reasonable care needs to be taken to insure that products coming into contact with CPVC systems are chemically compatible. If a product coming into contact with CPVC is not listed on the FGG/BM/CZ™ System Compatible Program, it is recommended that chemical compatibility be confirmed with the manufacturer of the product in contact with CPVC piping systems. If chemical compatibility with CPVC is in question, it is recommended to isolate the suspect product from contact with CPVC pipe or fittings.
The following products have been shown to be UNACCEPTABLE when used in direct contact with Lubrizol CPVC systems. Chemically incompatible products are added to this list as they are brought to our attention. A product’s absence from this list does not imply or insure CPVC chemical compatibility.
- ALWAYS CHECK the FGG/BM/CZ™ System Compatible Program and the list of unacceptable products (see below) for the most up-to-date chemical compatibility listings.
- ALWAYS CHECK the manufacturer's recommendation.
