google on heat distortion temperature
now identify the plastic bits in your WCing system (nothing to do with baby stuff)

in response to the contentious nature of your post I will add:
you are also a technical horse's ass
because you know words is not a good reason to post them
another for the ignore list
LOL...Amen

FYI, Gents Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) starts to deform at 71C and has a melt point of 115C. High Density Polyethylene(HDPE) starts to deform at 82C and melts at 137C. Tygon is used in surgical applications and is formulated to be sterilized at high temperature (~250F).

note I revised the melt points based on data provided in Kalpakjian;Manufacturing Engineering and Technology (1990)...oh shit I just dated myself
