CPVC Fittings: 

1. What is CPVC?
Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) is a thermoplastic polymer used in piping systems, known for its ability to withstand higher temperatures and pressures compared to PVC. It is chlorinated to enhance heat resistance and durability.

2. Applications
- Hot & Cold Water Distribution: Common in residential/commercial plumbing.
- Industrial Systems: Resists corrosive chemicals, acids, and bases.
- Fire Sprinklers: Non-flammable and handles high temperatures.
- HVAC Systems: For hot water lines and condensate drainage.

3. Key Features
- Temperature Resistance: Up to 200°F (93°C) for water applications.
- Pressure Ratings: Varies by schedule (e.g., Schedule 40: 400 psi @ 73°F; Schedule 80: higher pressure tolerance).
- Corrosion & Chemical Resistance: Suitable for harsh environments.
- Joining Method: Solvent cement (specific to CPVC, not interchangeable with PVC cement).

4. Types of Fittings
- Couplings: Connect two pipes.
- Elbows: 90° or 45° for directional changes.
- Tees: Split or combine flow.
- Reducers: Connect pipes of different sizes.
- Unions: Allow easy disassembly.
- Caps/Adapters: End pipes or transition to other materials (e.g., metal).

5. Standards & Compliance
- ASTM D2846: Governs CPVC piping systems.
- NSF/ANSI 61: Certified for potable water safety.
- Building Codes: Complies with international plumbing codes (IPC, UPC).

6. Advantages
- Cost-Effective: Cheaper than metal (e.g., copper) and easier to install.
- Lightweight & Durable: No corrosion, scaling, or pitting.
- Low Maintenance: Long lifespan with minimal upkeep.

7. Limitations
- UV Sensitivity: Brittle if exposed to sunlight; requires protection outdoors.
- Thermal Expansion: Higher than metal pipes; may need expansion loops.
- Compatibility: Use CPVC-specific cement; transitions to PVC require approved adapters.

8. Installation Tips
- Cutting/Preparation: Use a fine-tooth saw, deburr edges.
- Primer/Cement: Apply CPVC-approved solvent cement; primer may be optional.
- Curing Time: Follow manufacturer guidelines (typically 15 mins–24 hrs).
- Safety: Work in ventilated areas; avoid skin contact with cement.

9. Common Issues & Solutions
- Threaded Connections: Avoid over-tightening; use thread sealant.
- Chemical Compatibility: Verify resistance charts for industrial use.
- Transitioning Materials: Use dielectric unions for metal-CPVC connections to prevent galvanic corrosion.

10. Sizing & Variants
- Sizes: ½" to 12" diameters, depending on application.
- Types: Threaded (for metal interfaces) vs. slip (solvent-welded).

12. Maintenance
- Inspect for leaks, physical damage, or UV degradation.
- Replace discolored/brittle sections promptly.

Conclusion
CPVC fittings offer a versatile, economical solution for hot water and chemical systems. Proper installation and adherence to standards ensure longevity and safety. Always use compatible materials and consult specifications for temperature/pressure requirements.
