CPVC pipes are almost as widespread as PVC pipe, and they’re more common in hot water systems than PVC pipe. However, there are still companies choosing other types of pipe for their plumbing systems? What are the benefits of CPVC pipes over the alternatives? Ease of Installation The strongest business case for CPVC pipes is the economic one. They are not only affordable and far cheaper than metal pipe when you purchase them, but they are cheap and easy to install, too. You don’t have to hire welders to assemble your plumbing system. You can install it quickly and easily with basic labor, some assembly time, and solvents. You don’t have to worry nearly as much about worker safety, since there are not flames from welding equipment in the area. The pipe is lightweight, so it can be carried wherever it is required without heavy equipment, unless you’re moving literally hundreds of lengths of pipe.

What factors determine the CPVC pipe price you may be quoted? What determines the price you’ll pay for CPVC pipes? Pipe Length One factor that determines the price you’ll pay for CPVC pipe is the amount of plastic that goes into it, while the difficulty of forming it is another factor. For example, ten foot and three meter lengths are easy to find, while 20 foot and 10 meter lengths are more difficult to make. Shorter lengths are easier to make and sell in higher volume, reducing their cost per unit of length. Pipe Diameter and Thickness The thicker the pipe, the more expensive it is simply due to the amount of material in it. The wider the pipe diameter, the more the pipe costs. Very wide pipes are more difficult to make and sell is lower volumes, both of which raise their price tag. A related issue is the type of ends on the pipes. Pipes that have simple flat endings are cheaper to make than those with male or female screws on the end. Whether it costs more becaus...
