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.


Does cpvc contain BPA?
