* Lubrizol has determined that the surface temperature of gray CPVC installed in direct sunlight can reach peak temperatures approaching 175°F. This should be taken into account when establishing the maximum operating temperature of the system.
R: Recommended
N: Not Recommended
C: Caution, further testing suggested; suspect with certain stress levels
A: Case by Case approval, contact Lubrizol Advanced Materials
