Frequently Asked Questions

Do PVC and CPVC use the same fittings?

While PVC and CPVC fittings may come in similar sizes and can technically fit each other, they should not be used interchangeably. CPVC comes with an extra coating to make it safe for potable water, while standard PVC does not meet common safety standards to transport drinking liquids. Always pair each type of pipe with its respective fitting to ensure the delivery of clean water.

Why is CPVC used instead of PVC for potable water?

The C in CPVC stands for chlorinated, meaning that the pipes are treated with a layer of antimicrobial chlorine compound to help reduce the risk of bacterial buildup and growth in potable water systems. Standard PVC pipes and fittings do not have this extra layer of protection and therefore will not meet the safety standards for the transport of drinking liquids.
