The two are have different sizes. PVC is measured using the IPS (Iron Pipe Sizes) measurement, while CPVC generally uses CTS (Copper Tubing Sizes), although some CPVC does use IPS. Due to the size difference and other factors, the materials cannot be joined together, meaning each application...
The thermal conductivity of copper pipe is 2500 times greater than CPVC pipe, meaning it provides significant energy savings while keeping water hotter longer. Features & Benefits: Corrosion Resistance: Panchakanya Durastream CPVC gives excellent resistance even under the harshest of water conditions so...
To slow the time to failure, manufacturers add chemical additives to their materials to inhibit chlorine disinfectants in the water. These antioxidants are “sacrificial” meaning that over time, they will dissipate leaving the original molecular structure vulnerable to chlorine attack and failure. ...
