Material Properties for Nylon Fittings

Our nylon fittings are made from high quality type 6 virgin resin. Nylon fittings are generally acceptable for use at working pressures up to 150 PSI at normal room temperatures, and at very low pressures, temperatures can approach 175º F.

Nylon is resistant to a broad range of chemicals including most agricultural chemicals, ammonium compounds, detergents, diesel fuel, ethanol, gasoline, hexane, magnesium sulphate, most sodium compounds, trichloroethylene and zinc sulphate.

Nylon fittings should NOT be used with acid-based fertilizers, bromine, chlorine, fluorine, hydrochloric acid, iodine, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and xylene.

Recommended
