Note: (1) Ratings given are based at 70°F. Chemical compatibility varies greatly with
temperature. For applications at temperatures other than 70°F, contact the
Factory for recommendations.
(2) Gasket / seal materials are not necessarily listed in order of preference.
(3) Chemical resistance of a material does not necessarily indicate the suitability of
a fitting in a given application due to variables such as improper clamp and
coupling application, special hose construction, gasket material, etc.
Special caution should be taken when handling hazardous materials.
