Chemical Compatibility Information for SeaTech Polysulfone Fittings & Valves

Responsibility of Use

While SeaTech warrants their products against defects in manufacture or materials, it is the responsibility of any user/installer to ensure that fittings and related products are suitable for their application, that the installation is carried out correctly, and that the installation is properly maintained.

Sea Tech fittings are designed for low pressure fluids. For other applications please refer to our Customer Service Department. Tubing should be supported at a minimum of 36" to prevent excessive load to the connectors. Do not install tubing supports closer than 3 inches from the connector ends. We strongly recommend that new installations be thoroughly tested prior to use. Do not use with explosive gases, petroleum products or other fuels.

CAUTION!
The polysulfone material in this SEA TECH product can be compromised by exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and caustic chemicals. Therefore, DO NOT expose this product to any such chemical or foreign substance, which would include exposure to the following products:
Pipe dopes (liquid thread sealants), leak check compounds, bug sprays, lubricants, cleaners, paints, bleaches, acids, solder fluxes, plastic piping primers and cements, oxidizing agents, alkaline solutions, thinners, fuels, oil based caulk, hydrocarbons, spray foam or foaming agents ( i.e. insulation).

Teflon tape is acceptable and can be used for threaded connections.

Failure to follow these instructions will void the warranty and possibly result in leaks and water damage.
