Nylon and Polypropylene Fittings
Nylon Fittings
Working Pressure up to 150 PSI (10 bar) at ambient temperatures.
At very low pressures, temperatures can approach 175°F ( 80°C) with no degradation in the performance of the nylon fitting.
Recommended:
- For physical or structural strength
- For board temperature range
- With PTFE tap
NOT Recommended:
- Acid-based fertilizers/defoliants
- Prolonged sunlight/UV exposure
Polypropylene Fittings
Working Pressure up to 150 PSI (10 bar) at ambient temperatures.
As with all thermoplastics, an increase in working temperature is accompanied by a decrease in acceptable operating pressure. At 140°F (60°C) the working pressure limit is 90 PSI (6 bar).
Recommended:
- Hand tight, plus 1 turn
- For normal AG growing season conditions
- For acid resistance
NOT Recommended:
- Impact wrench, other over tightening
