Governing Standards for Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl - Bleach) Service

ASME B16.34NSF/ANSI 61 (drinking water contact)ISO 9001:2015WHO water treatment guidelines

What to Avoid in Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl - Bleach) Service

  • Carbon steel valves
  • Bronze or brass valves - copper contamination
  • SS 316 for concentrated NaOCl

Service Considerations

  • NSF/ANSI 61 certification required for valves in contact with potable water treatment chemicals
  • No copper alloys - Cu ions from bronze/brass create toxic byproducts (CHCl₃)
  • Temperature control critical - NaOCl decomposes rapidly above 25°C
  • Ventilation mandatory in pump rooms - Cl₂ release if acid accidentally contacts NaOCl
