PVC and CPVC pipe
This PVC and CPVC page covers two related but distinct thermoplastic materials under one catalog identity. CPVC is produced by further chlorinating PVC resin, giving it a different structure and service envelope; the names are therefore not interchangeable in design or procurement. The combined page is only an initial comparison route and does not assert one shared pressure, temperature, or chemical-compatibility range. Selection must first identify the exact material, then evaluate compound and product system, dimensions, medium, temperature, pressure, joining method, thermal movement, support, and project approvals separately.
Application and duty
Initial review of PVC or CPVC piping systems; the exact material and manufacturer operating envelope must be confirmed separately before design, joining, or purchase.
