CPVC piping which is suitable for hot and cold water distribution has a 400 psi pressure rating at room temperature, and a 100 psi pressure rating at 180°F. CPVC materials are resistant to many everyday household chemicals.

With a pressure rating of 400psi at room temperature and at least 200psi up to 140°F, water system CPVC pressure pipe to provide peace of mind that your plumbing pipes can stand up to the pressure found in your projects.

Water pressure can have a significant impact on plumbing system performance. Whether you’re looking for an extra safety factor in a larger building or in a residential building where pressures may exceed 80psi, CPVC plumbing system can handle the pressures that PEX systems simply cannot.

While mechanical systems like expansion tanks and PRVs can be added to reduce the risk, mechanical pressure regulating systems are prone to failure and should not be relied on to prevent a piping system from exceeding its pressure limitation
