Difference between UPVC and CPVC

When it comes to understanding the differences between UPVC and CPVC, It is clear that CPVC is a higher grade / upgraded version of PVC, as it uses all the advantages of PVC and overcomes all the limitations which can be summaries as follows:

• CPVC one pipe system can be used for both hot & cold water.

• CPVC pipes have BIS approval for use in hot & cold water.

• CPVC can withstand higher temperature water.

• CPVC has better UV stability and can be used for internal & external applications.

• CPVC has potable water certification around the world.

NOTE: For drainage applications, if there's a choice between UPVC vs CPVC, PVC/ UPVC pipes are preferred over CPVC.   

Make an informed choice as homes are not built daily and by using the right material you would have trouble-free plumbing for years to come.
