PVC vs CPVC
PVC vs CPVC
(OP)
I'm designing a sodium hypochlorite system with PVC piping/valving. I've heard that PVC will get brittle after a few years, but not CPVC. Anybody who can back this statement ? Which one would be the best choice for my application ?
Thanks,

Powell's 'Sodium Hypo General Handbook' states that CPVC can get brittle after a few years, any experience with that ? at what pressure do you run your CPVC piping ?

The joints are a real pain. I never found a failsafe way to select glue other than testing.
