Reliable manufacturers like Sudhakar Group provide CPVC pipes that are perfect for hot water systems in residential, industrial, and commercial projects.

Can CPVC and PVC pipe be used to plumb a water heater?
Speaking from our expertise at Sudhakar Group, I would recommend CPVC pipes for water heater connections rather than PVC. CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) is designed to handle higher temperatures (up to ~90°C), making it safe for hot water systems. On the other hand, PVC is suitable for cold water applications only. We guide our customers to always use CPVC pipes for geysers and hot water lines because they offer better heat resistance, safety, and durability in the long run.
Can white PVC for hot water pipe?

How can I transition from using PVC to CPVC piping in my plumbing system?
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.
