Hey all,
Well after building my advanced combustion ( pics will hopefully be up soon) I've decided to build a barrel-sealing piston gun..
But I can't figure out if the fittings on mcmaster are pressure rated!!! It says if the pipe is, but for an end cap for example, this is all it says.
Shape
Cap
Schedule
40
Pipe Size
4"
Pipe to Pipe Connection
Socket-Weld x Socket-Weld
Material
PVC
Color
White
Maximum Temperature
140° F
WARNING
Never use plastic pipe fittings with compressed air or gas.
Specifications Met
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and National Sanitation Foundation (NSF)
ASTM Specification
ASTM D1784 and ASTM D2466
NSF Specification
NSF 61
so does any of those specs tell me if it is pressure rated?? IN an earlier topic, someone said that the NSF 61 said that it is pressure rated..But no one confirmed it. So I would like to be sure...Thanks guys.

Sandman sch 40 or 80 is only a measure of thickness. and does not indicate pressure rated.
I think nsf61 is pressure rated. it is put in the same category as in able to contain drinking water.
