Piping System Applications
>> Maximum Working Temperature
• 180° F (82° C)
>> Maximum Working Pressure
• 400 PSI at 73° F
• 100 PSI at 180° F
>> Joining Method
Solvent Weld Joints
• Solvent cements must meet ASTM F 493.
• Yellow FlowGuard Gold cements may be used
without primer, where approved by code.
• Compression fittings with a brass ferrule
may be used.
Threaded Joints
• Threading the pipe is NOT recommended
• Use CPVC CTS male adapters in cold water
applications only.
• Use CPVC CTS x brass threaded transition
fittings for hot water applications.
• Do NOT use compression fittings with
brass ferrules to connect to CPVC CTS
pipe or fittings where water temperatures
will exceed 140° F.
• CPVC CTS pipe can be used with standard
brass ferrules to make compression
connections where the operating temperature
will NOT exceed 140° F. Apply Teflon
(PTFE) tape over the ferrule to allow for
the dissimilar thermal expansion and
contraction characteristics of the metal
ferrule and the plastic pipe.
