    PVC and CPVC are common plastic piping materials. PVC is the most widely used plastic piping material, known for its corrosion resistance and lower friction loss than metal piping. CPVC can withstand higher temperatures than PVC, with a maximum temperature of 180F for CPVC and 140F for PVC. Both materials must meet standards set by organizations like ASTM to ensure quality and that they can perform as intended.
