CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) is not typically recommended for use in return air plenum spaces due to its potential to release harmful gases when exposed to high temperatures or fire. Building codes often require materials used in plenum spaces to have specific fire-resistance ratings and to be non-combustible. Instead, materials like galvanized steel or specific types of PVC that comply with fire safety standards are preferred for these applications. Always consult local building codes and regulations for specific requirements.

What is the difference between pvccpvc pipe?
Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) pipes can withstand heat up to 180 degrees. A special glue is used to blond it together. PPR pipes are a made of plastic and uses no glue as it is heat-fused. PPR is a commercial product.
When would a technician use plenum-rated cable?
Plenum rated cabling is required when used in an open ceiling return air environment. That is when the return air for the hvac units use the space between the ceiling of the first floor and the floor of the second floor as a return air plenum. The way to tell is if the return air vent has a duct attached to it. The duct will run to the air conditioning air handler. This condition IS NOT a plenum rated ceiling. However, if the return air vent does not have a duct, that means the air conditioning air handler is using the air space between floors as a plenum. This condition requires the use of plenum rated cabling. If plenum rated cable is exposed to flame, it does not give off toxic gases as it melts.
What does a plenum do for a building?
A plenum space is the space in a building where air can circulate for heating and air conditioning systems. It's usually used to house the communication cables for the computer and telephone network.

What is chemical composition of CPVC solvent?
The chemical composition of CPVC solvent typically includes a mixture of solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), along with CPVC resins and stabilizers. These solvents are used to dissolve CPVC resin and create a strong bond when joining CPVC pipes and fittings.

Does cpvc contain BPA?
CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride) does not contain BPA (bisphenol A) as it is a different type of plastic resin. CPVC is often used in plumbing and other applications where resistance to high temperatures and corrosion is needed, and it is considered safe for use in these applications.
How does a plenum work?
A plenum chamber is a chamber that operates at a positive pressure and is filled with fluid or air. It is used to increase air flow in enclosed spaces. The positive pressure draws air from the space into channels, which causes air movement.
Can PVC cement be used on cPVC piping?
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
Do you need special PVC cement for hot water lines?
There is no special PVC pipe. CPVC can be used for hot water applications or in my opinion just use PEX pipe.
