S-40 PVC approved for potable water is fine for 15% sodium hypochlorite.
Do NOT use foam core, thin wall, or DWV only PVC.
Hello,
I am looking for some advice on what kind of tubing to get to make sure that it can withstand the liquid chlorine. I work at a commercial pool that uses sodium hypochlorite and our stenner feeders can not pull the liquid from the tanks because the junction piping above the two tanks is not sealing. I could run to home depot and get pvc tubing and make a new one but I want to make sure that it is safe to use pvc or buy the correct materials if that is not correct.

Awesome thank you. Could I find this tubing at home depot or any other hardware store?
Not tubing; pipe. Many hardware stores do carry it -- but check the labeling. You want "S-40" or "S-80" "pressure rated" PVC. You need to look for those exact terms, on the pipe itself.
