Chlorinated Poly (Vinyl Chloride) (CPVC) is a thermoplastic pipe. CPVC piping which is suitable for hot and cold water distribution has a 400 psi pressure rating at room temperature, and a 100 psi pressure rating at 180 F.
PVC pipe cannot meet the high temperatures that CPVC pipe can. PVC corrosion resistant pressure pipe, IPS sizes 1/8" through 24", is ideal for use in applications with temperatures up to and including 140°F.
