Chemical Compatibility and Installation Information for

FlowGuard Gold CPVC Products

Products NOT Compatible with FlowGuard Gold CPVC:

FL-FGG-CHEM-CAT

CPVC domestic water and industrial piping

systems are designed for use in new construction, re-

pipe and repair applications due to their outstanding

corrosion resistance. 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,

it is recommended that chemical compatibility be

conﬁrmed with the manufacturer of the product. If

chemical compatibility with CPVC is in question, it

is recommended to isolate the suspect product from

contact with CPVC pipe or ﬁttings.

The products listed below are NOT COMPATIBLE

with Charlotte

CPVC systems and should NOT be

used. 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

ensure CPVC chemical compatibility. Always consult

http://www.charlottepipe.com for the most up-to-date chemical compatibility listings.

NOTICE: This information is not a guarantee, and any piping systems using products made of these materials

should be tested under actual service conditions to determine their suitability for a particular purpose.

All pipe thread sealants must conform to the requirements

of IAPMO’s PS 36 and with the thread sealant manufacturer

to confirm that these sealants are chemically compatible

with ABS, PVC, and CPVC. Incompatible pipe thread

sealants may result in the degradation of plastic pipe or

fittings resulting in product failure and property damage.

• Verify that paints, thread sealants, lubricants, plasticized

PVC products, foam insulations, caulks, leak detectors,

insecticides, termiticides, antifreeze solutions, pipe

sleeve, firestop materials or other materials are

chemically compatible with ABS, PVC or CPVC.

• Do not use edible oils such as Crisco

for lubricant.

• Read and follow chemical manufacturer’s literature

before using with piping materials.

• Confirm compatibility of pipe marking adhesive tape

with the manufacturer of the tape to ensure chemical

compatibility with CPVC pipe and fittings.

(Updated June 9, 2020) OTHER CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY CONCERNS and INSTALLATION INFORMATION Prior to installation, check with the manufacturer of the HVAC equipment to confirm the compatibility of residual oils and refrigerants with CPVC, ABS, or PVC. 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 evaporator coils thoroughly with a mild ionic detergent solution to remove incompatible oils.
PAGE 4
(Updated June 9, 2020) • Transitions from metal pipe to CPVC pipe can be made through a variety of methods such as threaded connections, flanges, and grooved adapters. Occasionally the metal pipe may contain residual oils that were used to aid in the cutting process. Some of the oils used for this purpose, especially those marketed as “environmentally friendly” or “vegetable based” may be incompatible with CPVC.
