Product type
CPVC pipes, or Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride pipes, are a type of thermoplastic piping commonly used in plumbing and industrial applications. They are made from a modified form of PVC, which allows them to withstand higher temperatures and pressures. CPVC pipes are known for their durability, resistance to corrosion, and ease of installation, making them a popular choice for both residential and commercial plumbing systems.
| Material | Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) |
| Temperature Rating | Up to 200°F (93°C) |
| Pressure Rating | Up to 600 PSI |
| Standard Sizes | 1/2 inch to 12 inches in diameter |
| Color | Typically light gray or cream |
| Joinery Method | Solvent cement or threaded connections |
When selecting CPVC pipes, consider the specific temperature and pressure requirements of your application. It's important to specify the diameter and length of the pipes needed, as well as any necessary fittings or connectors. Additionally, inquire about certifications such as ASTM standards to ensure quality and compliance with local plumbing codes. Quantities may vary based on project size, so plan accordingly.
