My wife works in a bio lab. She has access to an autoclave. Has anyone ever tried to use an autoclave to sterilize plastic spiles? I'm sure it'll work in terms of killing spores and such, but it may or may not turn the spiles into a puddle of hot plastic! I can't find anywhere the type of plastic/resin that my taps are made of. I don't know why the manufacturers don't tell you - it would be nice to know.

I have two types - this: http://www.mapleguys.com/product/TU051-000005J4.html
and this: http://www.mapleguys.com/product/TU059-000005J7.html

Anybody ever try this? Or do you know what kind of plastic they are?

Thanks!
