What is the pressure rating of PVC pipe?
It depends on the pipe schedule and diameter... For example. Schedule 40 1 Inch pipe has a minimum burst pressure pressure rating of 1440PSI and an operational PSI of 270. Google can provide a complete chart. Just search "PVC Pipes - Pressure Ratings"

What is the effect of UV radiation of sun on PVC pipes and how to protect the pipe from the UV radiation?
The only effect the sun has on PVC pipes is the impact strength of the pipe will be decreased and there will be some discoloration. The tensile strength and pressure strength of the pipe will not be effected. The best way to protect the pipe is to paint it with a water based latex light colored paint.

What is the difference between electrical PVC and plumbing PVC?
electrical PVC is not bar pressure tested and is therefore quite thin and does not contain certain chemicles in the pipe to stop water corrosion where as plumbing PVC pipes are tested and generally thicker and must be in order to prevent burst pipes and pressure spikes

What is the hottest water a plastic PVC pipe can withstand?
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
