Test data was provided by BP Amoco. Udel is a registered trademark of BP amoco Polymers Inc.
Resistant to chlorine levels up to 30ppm
The maximum residual disinfectant level for chlorine set by the
Environmental Protection Agency for public water systems is 4mg/l.Testing by BP Amoco on Udel� polysulfone shows that weight loss created by
exposure to chlorine at levels seven times the EPA limit is less than 1%.
Data is based upon labratory testing. (See Table below)Fittings for the 21st Century
In selecting Udel® P-1700 resin as the material of choice for Flair-It™ Plus, Flair-It™ has created a plumbing fitting that is designed for the demands of the 21st century.Compatible with PEX tubing made to ASTM F876 or F877, the Plus fitting combines a patented barb-style flare tip with a compression nut that threads onto the body of the fitting - a design that works with the memory capabilities of PEX tubing to create a plumbing fitting guaranteed not to leak.
What is UDEL POLYSULFONE (PLS)?
UDEL polysulfone (PLS), a product of BP Amoco Polymers, has a ten-year history of success in replacing brass components in pressurized hot water plumbing applications. Fittings made from UDEL polysulfone exhibit a hydrolytic and dimensional stability, a resistance to chlorine, a long-term hydrostatic burst pressure, creep resistance and an ability to withstand extremes of freeze conditions, qualities that make Udel polysulfone the material for fittings designed for the potable water plumbing systems of the future.The chemical structure of polysulfone is directly responsible for the excellent combination of properties that are inherent in the resins.
Udel Resin complies with FDA regulations for use in repeated contact with food products.
Certified to NSF International Standards 14 & 61
In its natural form polysulfone is transparent. The black coloring of our PLS fittings enhances their resistance to UV rays beyond the normal exposure limits of PEX tubing. Although they should not be installed outside, Flair-It™ PLS fittings are designed to tolerate high extremes of temperature and pressure, and can endure condi-tions as low as -40 Celsius without cracking.Tests show that Udel Polysulfone resists mineral buildup and leaches no heavy metals into drinking water.
