Custom fabricated fittings and manifolds are manufactured to user
specification and may not meet
the above specified requirements.
All products furnished by PLASTINETICS® are of the highest quality
materials and workmanship. PLASTINETICS® does not control the design
or installation of any system. Care should be taken by the user
to make certain products are used per recommended
specifications.
Special care must be used to apply proper engineering, design
and installation procedures. PLASTINETICS® does NOT recommend the
use of its thermoplastic fittings for transport or storage of COMPRESSED
AIR or GASES. Trapped air must be removed from liquid piping systems
so that no air remains locked in the system when pressure is applied
to the liquid. Excessive SURGE pressure must be AVOIDED.
