Question: does pvc cement work on cpvc?
Answer: To explain, you need to understand the difference between PVC and CPVC. PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride, while CPVC stands for chlorinated polyvinyl chloride. ... So, if all you have to bond two PVC pipes and fittings together is CPVC cement, it will work, but PVC cement cannot be used to bond CPVC pipes and fittings.
