Neoprene Coupling with Chlorinated Water
Neoprene Coupling with Chlorinated Water
(OP)
Hello: Does any one have experience using neoprene materials with chlorinated water (5 ppm). I need to couple two 12" pvc pipes conveying chlorinated water and I have at my disposal neoprene flexible expansion joints from our bone yard. All compatibility tables I checked say that compatibility is "not good," but I wonder is its ok to use for a short period (three months of intermittent use).
I understand that no one would recommend using these two materials but I just want to know if some one has experience. Thanks in advance your any help,
Igor

The chart shows not recommended for bleach which is 5% chlorine.
You would have to weigh the consequence of a pipe failure. Probably not a good idea.
