I haven’t noticed any issues with my fittings so far. I also haven’t read
anything adverse besides the fact that it is prone to expand and retract in
different weather conditions, however I have not notice any leakage from
the fittings directly. It’s certainly not known to be unsafe to use for
Aquaponics. There is a brief section on Aquatic Toxicity in the MSDS

Have you had any problems using ABS pipe and fittings? Here in the US it is
not recommended for potable water, only as a drain where the water is not
longer used.

I had to refrain from mentioning the end cap of the bell siphon. For some
reason I laugh when I say bell end while recording…
