CPVC stands for Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride, which is a plastic material that is created by modifying (chlorinating) PVC (polyvinyl chloride) materials. This plastic is more durable and flexible, making it a top choice for those working in the plumbing industry. CPVC is specifically built to withstand high temperatures without being damaged. For this reason, CPVC pipes and fittings can be used with both hot and cold water.
Different Types of CPVC Fittings
At American Mobile Home Supplies, we carry a wide range of CPVC fittings for all of your plumbing needs, including:
45° & 90° Elbow- Both are used to change the direction of the pipes, either 45° or 90° respectively.
Union- Connects two pipes together with a screw apparatice that can easily be opened for maintence and cleaning.
Coupler (coupling slip)- A slip that goes over the joint of two pipes to form a permanent connection.
CPVC Female and Male Adapters- Connects CPVC pipes to other pipes while providing a leak-free seal. Male adapters have a threaded outside while female adapters have a threaded inside, which ultimately connect together.
Wing Elbow- Changes the direction of the pipes and water flow. One side of the fitting is threaded while the other side has a slip joint. This is usually used to connect shower and bathtub fixtures.
Reducing Bush- A transition piece that lets you go from a larger pipe diameter to a smaller one.
CPVC Cap- Found at the end of the pipe to close it off or seal it.
CPVC fittings are a popular choice for mobile homes as they are easy to install, especially in small or tight spaces. They are known to withstand high temperatures without damaging or corroding. This makes them a top choice for plumbers and homeowners alike.
Accessories
We also carry a variety of other products that can accompany your CPVC fittings order. Your project will need pipe cutters to ensure the pipes you are working with are the correct length and will fit into the space. A CPVC cement is a must-have product for anyone working in plumbing. The glue chemically binds the pipes to the fittings to ensure there won’t be any leaks.
