    PVC vs CPVC

    Thanks, Metalguy. What was the major problem with PVC in your painful experiences ? 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 ?

    PVC vs CPVC

    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, JLDV Mech Eng.
