Had they failed to put the "F" on the packaging and tried to market the
product in the UK, they would have had the Trades Description Act thrown at
them.  Any UK resident would have every right to assume Celsius and if
boiling water caused a joint to fail when the user could justifiable assume
it to hold, the supplier would probably be sued for damages.

Those mixed-measure packages make me cringe a bit.

"2 Ton", "2500 PSI", "-60 F to 200 F", but then 25 mL & 25 g/L.  
Absolutely fascinating to me.

At least they bothered to put the F after the temperature readings, I 
suppose.
