Install / Failure Note

Altaflo 500 PVDF is not rated for flare-type fittings — the vendor points to the more flexible 550 series specifically when a flare connection is required.

PVDF's real ceiling is 250°F; a chemical process line that has to run hotter than that in continuous service needs PFA's 500°F rating instead — sizing to the actual process temperature, not just "fluoropolymer tubing" generically, is the difference between a correct spec and a field failure.

Every claim on this page traces to real, vendor-published documentation on file with LibertyCES. Confirm current specifications with the manufacturer before final specification.
