Someone has got to know the answer to this. I keep hearing it looks like Home Depot parts, so what is it? Sch40? ABS? PVC? (I doubt it’s pvc)
“The stock scrubbers on the Spirit LTE, are made of high impact resistant PVC material featuring a wall thickness of 5mm. ”

 
It actually appears to be PVC. At least side by side with PVC conduit and the delrin/acetal in the Meg.
The KISS units are largely made with Delrin plastics.

And you know this how?
Because the canisters and towers in the sidewinder are definitely not acetal. The heads might be.
 
Was looking closely at the towers and bayonet connectors today. It sure appears to be PVC and its definitely injection moulded (the injection points are clearly visible) not machined.
