Prior to installing PVC or CPVC piping in hydronic
applications, it is important to flush the interior of the heat
exchangers and the exterior of the condenser coils
thoroughly with a mild ionic detergent solution to remove
incompatible oils. Failing to do so could result in system
failure and property damage.
Verify that all boiler cleaning and sealing chemicals used in
hydronic radiant heating systems are compatible with PVC
or CPVC. Failure to do so could result in system failure and
property damage.
Equipment leaks in refrigeration or HVAC systems may
release POE oils or other contaminants into the piping
system. These oils and contaminants are incompatible with
PVC or CPVC and such exposure may result in pipe or
fitting failure regardless of flushing.

expansion of the piping system. Expansion tanks
accommodate expansion of the fluid, not longitudinal

to allow for thermal expansion.
