Have a large roll of this tubing with markings "vanguard procore hdpe (cts - od) 200 psi @ 73 degrees ASTMD-2737" etc etc. Best I can tell from search is it is for potable water, cold only. Can't find any information about adapter fittings for this tubing to go to threaded fittings. Any help? Tks, Ted

It is odd because it is copper tubing size (CTS). It would be good for outdoor irrigation. I would look for the nearest fit with the barbed poly pipe fittings available at HD and try to adjust the size by heating the end with a torch. It will take some experimenting.

I expect that CTS size fittings will be expensive because they are rare. There are probably some ferrule type fittings available. What is the OD of the pipe?

There is a comany (JACO) that makes plastic fittings for 5/8 and 7/8 OD plastic if it is that size.
