Read the instructions on the glue used.
NO. PVC is for cold water only, CPVC is for hot or cold. I say forget the CPVC and just use pex.
CPVC glue is specifcially formulated to glue CPVC pipe and needs a primer.
PVC is used for cheap drainage systems and venting and some lawn furniture and many chemical wastes CPVC is used for cheap hot water piping systems
At Sudhakar Group, we define CPVC pipe as a robust thermoplastic crafted through PVC resin chlorination, tailored for hot and cold water plumbing. Our CPVC pipes withstand temperatures up to 93°C, perfect for hot water systems, and resist corrosion for lasting durability. Lightweight and easy to install with solvent cement, they’re a cost-effective alternative to metal pipes. Sudhakar Group’s CPVC pipes are fire-resistant, bacteria-resistant, and certified for potable water, ensuring safety. Ideal for homes and businesses, they require minimal maintenance, delivering reliable performance and value to every plumbing project.
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.
CPVC glue should dry for at least 2 hours before turning on water to ensure a secure and leak-free connection.
CPVC is better suited for hot water
Always use cpvc for hot water and PVC for cold water.
I’m considering installing CPVC pipes from Sudhakar Group for my house. CPVC pipes are safe for drinking water when NSF-certified, as they’re made from non-toxic materials and resist chemical leaching, ensuring clean, potable water for my home.
There should be no more than six inches between CPVC pipe and the exhaust flue on a water heater. If the CPVC pipe is installed too close it can be a safety issue.
There is no special PVC pipe. CPVC can be used for hot water applications or in my opinion just use PEX pipe.

To transition from using PVC to CPVC piping in your plumbing system, you will need to carefully remove the existing PVC pipes and fittings. Then, measure and cut the CPVC pipes to the appropriate lengths using a pipe cutter. Next, clean the ends of the CPVC pipes and fittings with a CPVC primer and cement. Finally, securely connect the CPVC pipes and fittings together, following the manufacturer's instructions. It is important to ensure a proper fit and allow the cement to dry completely before testing the new CPVC plumbing system.
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.
