CPVC exists to carry hot water where PVC cannot, and the single most important practical point about it is that its solvent cement is a different product. CPVC cement is formulated for the material and PVC cement is not a substitute — a joint made with the wrong cement can look perfect, pass a brief pressure test and fail weeks later in a wall. Sites that stock both should keep them physically apart. Beyond that, CPVC is specified like any thermoplastic: its pressure rating falls as temperature rises, so the rating is read at the hot water temperature rather than at ambient, and the two common sizing systems are not interchangeable — copper tube size dimensions and iron pipe size schedule dimensions have different outside diameters, and fittings for one will not fit the other. Say the hot water temperature, the pressure, and which dimension system the rest of the installation uses.
The more of this you send, the closer the first quotation lands.
| Service | Hot and cold water distribution, or an industrial chemical duty |
|---|---|
| Dimension system | Copper tube size or iron pipe size — they are not interchangeable |
| Diameter and schedule | Nominal size, and SDR 11 or Schedule 80 as applicable |
| Operating temperature | The hot water temperature the rating must be read at |
| Operating pressure | Working pressure at the design temperature |
| Solvent cement | CPVC cement only — PVC cement is not a substitute |
| Fittings | Matched to the same dimension system as the pipe |
| Transition fittings | Where CPVC meets copper, steel or a fixture connection |
| Expansion | Thermoplastic moves with temperature — state the run length |
| Support spacing | Closer on hot lines than on cold |
| Potable approval | State if potable water approval is required |
| Quantity | Metres per size, with the fittings and the correct cement |
