Direct answer

LibertyCES has documented Metering/Dispensing System in Salts/Brines service, including Urea and Ammonium Nitrate. Wetted materials to confirm: Polypropylene or PVC body. Documented models include Netafim Fertilizer Meters. Compatibility depends on exact concentration, temperature and duty cycle, so confirm with a free spec review.

Notes from the vendor documentation

Fertilizer/chemical-line metering explicitly offered in PP or PVC body variants for fertigation service.

Install / Failure Note

Netafim's own warranty terms are voided by exceeding a component's rated operating pressure — relevant here since the Fertilizer Meter's pressure ceiling drops from 145 psi in PVC to 72.5 psi in polypropylene, so body material has to match the actual line pressure, not just the chemical.

Body material on a 1" fertilizer meter isn't cosmetic: polypropylene caps out at 72.5 psi where PVC holds to 145 psi, so a urea or ammonium nitrate fertigation line running near the top of that range needs the PVC-body meter specified from the start, not swapped in after a failure.

Every material and product claim on this page traces to real, vendor-published documentation on file with LibertyCES. Chemical compatibility depends on exact concentration, temperature, and duty cycle — confirm current specifications with the manufacturer and request a spec review before final specification.
