The pressure rating of PVC pipe and fittings reduces with increasing temperature. To calculate the actual pressure rating of the product at each temperature, the noted pressure rating must be multiplied by the 'de-rating multiple', as explained on our PVC category page.

The temperature derating table of this fitting is as follows:

Temperature (°C)	Pressure Rating (bar)
20	10
30	8
40	5.8
50	3.9
60	2.2

PVC pipe has a recommended operating temperature of 0 - 60° centigrade (32 - 140°F).
