Chem Aire Piping - What's Compatible
Chem Aire Piping - What's Compatible
(OP)
I have a compressed air system with subsurface Chem Aire piping. The pipe daylights inside a vault and was broken when a tech stepped on it by accident. From what I can tell, the chem aire piping has been discontinued. I'm trying to transition this piece to steel or any other hose/piping that would be rated for 70psi. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

Maybe the folks in that thread know about the cement compatibilty.

"Both Dura Plus and Chem-Aire have their own brands of cement, so I cannot say that either is compatible with both types of pipe. Since you are talking about compressed air, I personally would not mix the cements when putting these lines together."
Not very helpful. I can think of 10 different materials that would be suitable for compressed air. I just need a way to transition from the Chem Aire piping. So frustrating.
Thanks for the replies guys

One would think you could at least still find some Chem-Aire glue (to maybe glue a flange or other mechanical adapter to make transition to steel somewhere). For whatever it is worth, I think exposed plastic pipe or transitions to metal from same in general brings on some inherent risk.
