How can I transition from using PVC to CPVC piping in my plumbing system?
To transition from using PVC to CPVC piping in your plumbing system, you will need to carefully remove the existing PVC pipes and fittings. Then, measure and cut the CPVC pipes to the appropriate lengths using a pipe cutter. Next, clean the ends of the CPVC pipes and fittings with a CPVC primer and cement. Finally, securely connect the CPVC pipes and fittings together, following the manufacturer's instructions. It is important to ensure a proper fit and allow the cement to dry completely before testing the new CPVC plumbing system.

CPVC and PVC are both types of plastic piping materials, but CPVC is more heat-resistant and can handle higher temperatures than PVC. This makes CPVC suitable for hot water applications, while PVC is better for cold water systems. The differences in temperature resistance impact where each type of piping is used and their overall performance in different environments.
