Chlorinated Poly (Vinyl Chloride) (CPVC) is a thermoplastic pipe. 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.
PVC pipe cannot meet the high temperatures that CPVC pipe can. PVC corrosion resistant pressure pipe, IPS sizes 1/8" through 24", is ideal for use in applications with temperatures up to and including 140°F.

this one sucks i only no for sure that you need to be carefully with the size PVC 1/2 inch is measured from the out side diameter and 1/2 CPVC is measured inside diameter the real problem is that 3/4 PVC and 1/2 CPVC are like so close in out side size but are not compatible...the question i have is why would thay do this?i have pulled my hair out in my home as i have both and its a brain buster to find the correct one for repair well read the pipe and go with the writing good luck...

yes, to the latter.. CPVC, Copper, Brass, Iron, Galvanized, ABS and now PEX are all modern examples of piping materials. Lead and ceramic tiles are no longer used. PVC is mostly used for Drainage pipe, not supply (except for CPVC)

CPVC is for hot water the PVC will not work with real hot water it will melt! I plumbed my house (or re-plumbed) and I just used CPVC so I didn't have to have both fittings and elbows and such. You can use the CPVC for cold water!
