LabWaste® Vanstone Style Flange

One of the key advantages of Spears® LabWaste® CPVC System is its excellent resistance to a broad range of corrosive environments. CPVC is inert to most mineral acids, bases, salts and aliphatic hydrocarbons, and compares favorably to other plastics in these chemical environments.

General Chemical Resistance Overview:
Weak Acids: Excellent      Salts: Excellent
Strong Acids: Excellent    Aliphatic Solutions: Good
Weak Bases: Excellent     Halogens: Good-Fair
Strong Bases: Excellent    Strong Oxidants: Good-Fair
The LabWaste® CPVC System has been developed for use in Academic, Research, and Institutional Laboratory chemical waste drainage applications. These plumbing systems are characterized by the routine disposal of a wide variety of hot and cold chemical wastes in accordance with prudent laboratory practices for drainage disposal.
Manufactured to ASTM F 2618 in Full Line of Drainage Pattern Fitting Configurations
Spears® broad line of LabWaste® CPVC pipe & fittings are manufactured to ASTM F 2618 Specifications for CPVC Pipe & Fittings for Chemical Waste Drainage Systems and produced in ASTM D 3311 drainage patterns or to manufacturer’s specifications. Standard configurations are available in nominal sizes of 1-1/2" through 24" with many specialty fittings and accessories, like dilution traps, (water dilution being critical in the prevention of exothermic chemical interactions within all plumbing systems).
NSF® Certified For Corrosive Waste
Spears® LabWaste® Corrosive Water Drainage System of pipe fittings, and cement is certified for use in corrosive waste systems by NSF International to ASTM F 2618 and to NSF® ORD 1022 for use in Canada; ICC-ES Listed to PMG-1018, CPVC Chemical Waste Systems, for compliance to the International Plumbing Code and the Uniform Plumbing Code (See PMG Listing No. PMG-1018 at www.icc-es-pmg. org).
Cost Saving Solvent Weld Joining Eliminates the need for Electro-Fusion Joints and for Mechanical Joint Connections in Concealed Spaces
A proven joining method reliably used for over 50 years, Solvent Cement Welding requires no special tools, no costly fusion easy installation, repairs or alterations. Most importantly, solvent cement joints end problems typical of polypropylene system installation, such as mechanical connector pullout, maintaining mechanically sealed joints, leaks from fusion wire corrosion, and cumbersome fusion joining methods. Saves time, saves cost, saves worry!
A Flame & Smoke Rated Piping System
Spears® LabWaste® system components have tested dry Listed by ICC-ES PMG 1278 for Compliance with ASTM E84/UL723 Tests for Surface Burning Characteristics having a flame spread of less than 25 and a smoke developed index of less than 50 meeting the requirements of the International Mechanical Code and Uniform Mechanical Code for use in return air plenums (See PMG Listing No. PMG-1278 at www. icc-es-pmg.org). LabWaste® is additionally Listed by Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (ULC®) under CAN/ULC S102.2 for Surface Burning Characteristics of less than 25/50.
