FAQ

We do not advise the use of any jointing compound on a standard compression fitting used on water supply systems. There may be a need to apply jointing compound to fittings used on gas systems. In this instance we recommend the joint is made first, dis-assembled, the jointing compound applied, then the joint is re-made as this will prevent the compression olive from creating a false seal by compressing to the compound.
Fusion of polyethylene and polypropylene pipe will not work; the materials are not compatible. However, PE pipe can be joined by a mechanical joint.​
No, this is a drain, waste and vent (DWV) system. It is not pressure rated.​
Pipe and fittings can be stored outside temporarily, if they are covered and shielded from the sun. The plastic does not contain UV stabilizers, and the sun can cause hardening of the surface of the plastic that may interfere with proper joint sealing.​
Other's pipe can, but not other fittings due to unique design of the Pigler fittings being able to accept either mechanical or fusion seals. The Pigler groover must also be used with our mechanical joints.​
