Best Answer

Melting a PVC Êcan Êbe easier depending on the purpose for melting It. If you just Êwant Êto make it pliable, a heating gun will get the task done: switch on the heat gunÊ and pass it gently over the PVC (do not heat the same position for Êmore than aÊsecond). Continue passing it over the PVC for about 20 second, and then bend or twist the itÊinto the shape you need.

What purpose of heat number write on the pipe?

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.
