In addition to the below-written, there is a resource on the Fire Sprinkler Industry Best Practices website (www.fsi-bp.org) called CPVC Linkspot (located lower left-hand corner of the homepage). Click the link to bring up a matrix showing all CPVC manufacturers and their published materials on a range of topics, from compatibility to jobsite notices.
As you might suspect, there are frequent references to Lubrizol's www.systemcompatible.com. We are further updating this resource as we get news of new links from manufacturers.

Lubrizol (BlazeMaster) has been aggressive in testing products to assure compatibility with CPVC. This list of incompatible products is much shorter than the listing of compatible products. My understanding is that when BlazeMaster tests and puts a product on its compatibility list, then Lubrizol stands behind their assertion of compatibility as long as nothing changes in the composition of that product (which is common sense.) It is wise for any company using CPVC to be aware of incompatible products, and reassuring to know what products have been tested and listed by Lubrizol as compatible with CPVC. You can get on the notification list at the Lubrizol web site to get updates on new products added to their incompatible and compatible lists. (This isn't a commercial for CPVC - but concerns about incompatibility should be taken seriously. Almost EVERY product has potential problems with incompatibility and it is helpful to have a source to check for known problems.) Steve A.
