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
NO. PVC is for cold water only, CPVC is for hot or cold. I say forget the CPVC and just use pex.
CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) plumbing is recommended over PVC piping for several reasons. Firstly, CPVC can withstand higher temperatures, making it suitable for hot water applications, whereas PVC is typically used for cold water. Additionally, CPVC is more resistant to corrosive substances, enhancing its durability in residential plumbing systems. Finally, CPVC can also be more flexible in terms of installation, allowing for easier handling and fitting in tight spaces.
The type of service they are to be used for In a home PVC is used for the drains,the drain vents,main out going sewer line,water supply lines for a boiler/heating system or sprinkler systems. In a home CPCV is used to supply water to sinks,toilets, showers,hot water heater and exterior faucets... Because of the difference in usage there is also a difference in the wall thickness between the PVC pipe and CPVC pipe... So a 3/4 in PVC fitting will not match up to a 3/4 in CPVC pipe and vise versa...
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 (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) pipes began to be used for residential water systems in the late 20th century, gaining popularity in the 1980s. This material offers advantages like resistance to corrosion and higher temperature tolerance compared to traditional PVC. Its acceptance grew due to its durability, ease of installation, and cost-effectiveness for plumbing applications. Today, CPVC is commonly used for both hot and cold water plumbing systems in homes.
Return the PVC to the store and purchase the CPVC you need.
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
Always use cpvc for hot water and PVC for cold water.
There is no special PVC pipe. CPVC can be used for hot water applications or in my opinion just use PEX pipe.
No, PVC cannot be glued to CPVC because they are made of different materials and require specific types of adhesive for bonding.
CPVC and PVC are both types of plastic piping materials, but CPVC is more heat-resistant and can handle higher temperatures than PVC. This makes CPVC suitable for hot water applications, while PVC is better for cold water systems. The differences in temperature resistance impact where each type of piping is used and their overall performance in different environments.
I don't understand why you'd want to do that . CPVC glue is expensive, PVC glue is cheap and glues PVC pipe better.

You may be better of contacting Hayward about this as there is not enough information in this question to give an answer. Ues CPVC cement on the CPVC fittings and regular PVC cement ( either blue, or clear) on all the other PVC
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.
They can be made from a variety of materials, galvanised steel, copper, PVC, CPVC or PEX.
