About LinkBacksI have a project that will utilize PVC fittings. I would like to use the white ones but a threaded female adapter is tapered allowing it to tighten down forming a seal, and unfortunatley this will not work, so I was thinking about using the grey electrical PVC fitting instead. Are the electrical fittings safe for marine tanks?

I asked the same question a few months ago.... yes they are safe. I like the sweeping 90° curves that the electrical PVC fittings have.

Hmmm... now that the tank is full, I could convert the pool to saltwater...

have grey ones. they're perfectly safe. I think the difference may be in the uv shielding aspect?
