Black unions?

[samnaz]

I have some white schedule 40 unions that I would like to paint black to match my pipe. Has anyone tried this before? I've seen many have painted rigid pvc pipe with no problem, but I haven't seen anyone paint unions or fittings. What kind of paint would be best to use?

Or is there some place that sells black unions? I can't find any.

done it. spray paint for plastic is good to use. never seen black unions but they do have schedule 80 pvc that's gray you can order from brs.

I think I read somewhere not to use schedule 80 fittings with schedule 40 pipe, is that false?

I believe that's false. At least I hope so because that's what I have installed currently.

Yes it is false. KRYLON is the best paint for plastic

You can use schedule 40 and 80 fittings together. Our tanks and pumps are not under enough pressure to cause any issues.
