For hot water pipes, it's best to use a high-temperature PVC cement specifically designed for CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride) pipes, as it can withstand higher temperatures compared to regular PVC cement. Make sure to check the manufacturer's specifications to ensure compatibility with hot water applications. Additionally, use a solvent cement that is labeled for use with CPVC and follow the application instructions carefully for a secure bond.

To soften cement, you can use a chemical softener or plasticizer, which is typically added to the mix before it hardens.

Once the cement has hardened, it cannot be softened.
