Question: what is the difference between sch 80 pvc and sch 80 cpvc?
Answer: 80 PVC and sch. 80 CPVC will fit together because they have the same ID and OD. The same is true of schedule 40 PVC and CPVC, but that type of CPVC is rarely used. One major difference between these two types of piping, when it comes to sizing, is the fact that CPVC is made in two different sizing systems: NPS and CTS.
