Q
do i need cpvc or pvc for plumbing
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
When deciding between CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) and PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) for plumbing, consider several factors. PVC is generally more affordable and easier to work with due to its softer material, making it ideal for drain, waste, and vent lines. However, it's not suitable for hot water applications. On the other hand, CPVC has superior heat resistance and chemical resistance, making it better for potable water supply lines, especially those carrying hot water. Both materials offer good durability and easy installation compared to traditional materials like copper. In colder climates, CPVC might be preferable due to its better cold temperature impact strength. For outdoor installations, CPVC is also a better choice as it resists UV rays better than standard PVC. Ultimately, your choice depends on the specific application and local building codes.
