How CPVC Pipes Differ From Other Types?


CPVC pipes are different from polybutylene pipes in two ways. It is rigid rather than flexible which means that these pipes are only available in short lengths of 2m or 3m. Secondly these pipes are joined together
using a solvent welding.

When hot water passes through CPVC pipes, it expands but the expansion of the pipe will not cause a problem in domestic systems but if the pipe runs exceeds 10m then it might create problems for the pipe. IN such scenarios, an expansion loop is created using 90 degree elbows and three 150mm lengths of pipes.
The manufacturing of CPVC pipes provides an exceptional range of pipes and fittings to meet almost every requirement.

There are tap and ball valves connectors, equal and unequal tees, arid provision for connecting existing fittings, 45° and 90° elbows, stop and gate valves. CPVC is not as strong as copper or galvanized steel pipes so striking it with a hammer is strictly not recommended. Since the pipe is flexible, there is a need to support it more frequently than galvanized or copper pipes.
