Does it do any potential damage to pipes (Plastic) like Drano can?

As far as I know it does not, but it is a strong product therefore that is why I say only use when absolutely necessary. I'm not a plumber, it is just my personal opinion.

I used it in the kitchen and I go from brass to PVC (plastic) drain pipes. It did not hurt either of them. Be sure to use as directed. It works great!

Been using Thrift for years in my house without any problems, and all the plumbing is PVC.

No. The only plastic inside is the little filter in the spout, you can remove it. Even at full water limit it doesn't touch it anyway.

I highly doubt this will damage flexible s/s pipe. The rods and brushes are flexible. Works great on my pellet stove pipe.

I primarily use this on Triumph motorcycle cases and it is the best Permatex (or any) product for the job. I've also used it on rubber pipes to metal banjos and it worked well there too. I suspect that it would work well in your situation but I have not used it on plastic and there are so many kinds of plastic that I would test it first. Personally, on threads where gas or oil is involved, I use the yellow Teflon tape -- it seals gasoline so diesel should be no problem.

I don't think so, it has plastic corpus so I think that high heat will damage it.

I have an older home and have not experienced any pipe damage from using product. It does not have that toxic odor or toxicity as does Mr. Plumber and other products that are similar. Does not contain phosophorus, but does have sodium hypochlorite, sodium hydroxide and is specially formulated. I am happy with the product and will purchase more in the future.

I believe so. The enzymes dissolve the gunk in the drain to remove it. It is safer than Draino or Liquid plumber, but slower to work. You can use this every month for maintenance of your drain pipes without worrying it will eat through the pipes one day. It also removes odors which Draino and Liquid Plumber do not because of how enzymes work.

As long as the pressure is within the recommended values for the hose / nozzle, it should not harm the usual corrugated poly drain piping.

Yes. I used it in buried PVC pipes. It is supposed to be capable of direct burial but I wanted it protected.

It's a plastic housing around a fluorescent tube. I welded threads on the top so mine flows backwards. I would imagine no damage would be done as long as the unit isn't under pressure. I run mine slowly to insure a complete sterilization. I use the same system on my 30 gallon aquaponic herb garden as I do my 2 300 gallon green house setups.

As long as you are applying it to glass, you're good. It can do weird things to plastic, and the directions say not to use it on plastic.

I wouldn't know about that, but it works really well on glass pipes and water pipes. I never tasted or smelled anything from it and it's kind of cool with red water haha.

I would not use it on anything where it can touch plastic. It may not affect it immediately, but this product, while excellent for cleaning actually metal electrical contacts is not the best for any contact with plastics. .. . . unless it is immediately flushed off with something like isopropyl alcohol. Even then. . . it might not be a good idea. Instead, try using something like Simple Green on a Q-tip and then follow that up with rinse.

I haven't tried it with plastic. The manufacturer recommended metal so that is what I use.

Yes, BUT be careful it will burn you and it will show you all the weak spots in the drain pipe by causing a leak.

I doubt it. It operates on pressure build up in order to clear paper & waste products from septic lines. The rubber expands to block water from backing up & forces water under pressure to clear the line. Saves time & money since you won't need a plumber with a snake. It will do nothing but could break the pipe if it's plastic with a snake

no the Avenger Weed Killer does not harm any pipes or steel,it is totally organic and the natural ingredients are no threat.I've used it several times with pets and it only harms the weeds.
