Plumbing talk can read like a forest of strange letters and technical lingo. Take a breath; we’ve come to clear the thicket. Today we answer the question on almost every homeowners or builders mind: what sets CPVC apart from PVC?
Picking the right pipe matters whether you’re wiring a snug bungalow or a wide office or simply swapping rusty runs. Thats why Sintex backs every project with pipe systems that are smart, safe, and ready to shoulder tomorrows work.
Let’s keep it simple. PVC, short for polyvinyl chloride, is the trusty, wallet-friendly option in almost every cold-water line. It is light, tough, and easy to handle, making it a go-to for basic plumbing.
CPVC-Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride-is PVCs seasoned sibling. It laughs at higher heat, so you’ll find it feeding kitchen sinks, showers, and any fixture that occasionally steams. Picture the pipe that keeps your morning shower warm from the first splash.
Here is a handy table that lines up the key differences at a glance:
Feature | PVC Pipes | CPVC Pipes |
---|---|---|
Temperature Range | Up to 60°C | Up to 93°C |
Best Use | Cold water plumbing, drainage systems | Hot & cold water plumbing |
Cost | More affordable | Slightly higher but worth it |
Chemical Resistance | High | Very High |
Ideal For | Residential drainage, irrigation | Bathrooms, kitchens, industrial use |
You don’t want to spend on repairs after a few years. So choosing between CPVC vs PVC means thinking long term. Living somewhere hot or running high-temp lines? Go with CPVC. For sprinklers, lawn taps, or plain drainage, PVC keeps costs low and still does the job.
