CAUTION
The use of plastic bowls on line filters and
other plastic airline components without
metal guards can be hazardous. Synthetic
coolants or the additives used in mineral
oils can alter their structural integrity and
create hazardous conditions. Metal bowls
should be used on any pressurized system
for safety concerns.
“The Plastic Pipe Institute recommends
against the use of thermoplastic pipe to
transport compressed air or other com-
pressed gases in exposed above ground
locations, e.g in exposed plant piping.” (I)
Sullube should no be used with PVC piping
systems. It may affect the bond at
cemented joints. Certain other plastic mate-
rials may also be affected.
