Pool Clown Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Yes, schedule 40 fittings will work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quantumchromodynamics Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Max Operating Temperature (�F) 140 http://www.lascofittings.com/SupportCenter...lProperties.asp The answer is: Yes, the schedule 40 will work just fine. If you are using flex pipe, I recommend that you allow the glue 8 hours to set before pressurizing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
