What are the differences between PVC pipe and cPVC pipe?

I don't understand why you'd want to do that . CPVC glue is expensive, PVC glue is cheap and glues PVC pipe better.

CPVC is better suited for hot water

You cannot use pvc on hot water, only cpvc

PVC can be used for drainage and cold water piping. CPVC is used for hot water. You can use CPVC for cold water also but is more expensive than pvc. Just don't use PVC for hot water.

No PVC cement can not be used on cpvc pipe. Cpvc and PVC pipe have different chemical compositions so a cement made for one will not work for the other. The process of joining plastic piping together is called solvent welding and the use of the wrong formulation will result in an inferior weld

There is no special PVC pipe. CPVC can be used for hot water applications or in my opinion just use PEX pipe.

You can use CPVC to plumb your water supply instead of copper pipe. PVC is suitable for drains or non-potable water since it releases chemicals which are harmful for humans to consume.

The type of service they are to be used for In a home PVC is used for the drains,the drain vents,main out going sewer line,water supply lines for a boiler/heating system or sprinkler systems. In a home CPCV is used to supply water to sinks,toilets, showers,hot water heater and exterior faucets... Because of the difference in usage there is also a difference in the wall thickness between the PVC pipe and CPVC pipe... So a 3/4 in PVC fitting will not match up to a 3/4 in CPVC pipe and vise versa...

CPVC pipe is approved for hot and cold water. PVC pipe is approved for cold water only. This is only applicable in certain areas. You should check your local area codes to see if this applies to you.

You only use CPVC pipe for hot water lines and yes there is CPVC glue for this

Only for drainage, it won't hold under pressure.

Return the PVC to the store and purchase the CPVC you need.

Term used with cast-iron, PVC, CPVC and ABS pipe. Cast-Iron; The plain end of a cast-iron pipe. The spigot is inserted into the bell end of the next pipe to make a water tight joint. PVC, CPVC or ABS; A male end of a fitting the same size as the pipe that is inserted into the slip (hub) end of a fitting.

Always use cpvc for hot water and PVC for cold water.

You can purchase PVC and CPVC piping at any local hardware or building supply store. Plumbing supply stores are less common, but you may have one near you. Be certain that you purchase the correct primer and glue for the type of pipe you intend to use, and use the correct pipe for the correct purpose.

PVC Pipe do not require any preventive-coating like primer or black-japan etc. In fact any coating must be cleaned from the joints before joining the pipes. PVC pipes (PVC or uPVC or cPVC or PPR) are self protective.

You can, bearing in mind that it will not stand any pressure or force separating the joint.

Depends on what pipe you are asking about. Most pipe such as PVC has a max heat rating for internal and external temperatures. this is why regular white PVC should never be used for hot water from a hot water heater which can be 120 degrees (F) or more and melt regular PVC. That is why they recommend using CPVC which has a higher temperature rating. Depends on what pipe you are asking about.

Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) is a thermoplastic produced by chlorination of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin. Uses include hot and cold water pipe, and industrial liquid handling. Hope this helps.

NO. PVC is for cold water only, CPVC is for hot or cold. I say forget the CPVC and just use pex.

No, it won't stick. Use Oatey CPVC cement.

I was in the PVC pipe manufacturing business for over 30 years and have never heard of a "1K PVC" pipe. If "1K" means a 1,000 psi pipe, this does not exist as a commercial product. Sorry.

It depends on where you are application and local code. Copper tube, Pex, PVC, CPVC, & Polyethylene are all used.

UPC does not permited PVC to be used for potable hot water. So don't put it inside the house. IF you have o use plastic pipe use PEX of CPVC both of which are OK for hot potable water. In answering you question PVC can handle 120 degree water temps
