PVC can take hot water like any other pipe but the reason no one wants to use it on hot water lines is because the glue joints can not take hot water so if your talking about straight pipe then it will be ale to take 212 degrees but if your talking about pipe and glue joints then it will fail around 65 + degrees F . If you want to run hot water in PVC you can use CPVC and the glue joints an pipe can with strand 212 degrees F but after some years as I have seen the pipe gets real brittle and so i always recommend the best called Wirsbo or any class AA pex

What does PN 16 mean?
PN is a short term for "pressure rating of a pipe" PN depends on wall thickness, diameter and material type. A PN 16 pipe is one that can withstand 16 bar (1.6 megapascals or about 232 psi) at 20 degrees c. If you want it interms of height of equivalent water column, 1 bar =10.2 m of height water column at 20 deg C, this a PN 16 pipe can withstand 16*10.2=163.2 m of water head (static+dynamic).
