About this service
CPVC is the right choice for fresh-water supply in Jaipur — handles hot water up to 93 °C, resists hard-water scaling far better than GI, and joints are solvent-welded rather than threaded so failure points are minimised. We cut with a wheel cutter for square ends, deburr inside and out, apply primer (where the brand specifies it) and solvent cement, and hold each joint for the recommended set time. Brand stays consistent across a single job — mixing CPVC brands creates joint-compatibility risks.
Common symptoms we see
- Hot-water pressure dropping in old GI lines
- Brown rust flakes from taps when first opened
- Replacing existing GI risers with CPVC
- New construction needing supply piping
How we do it
- 1Cut, deburr and dry-fit
- 2Apply primer (if specified) then solvent cement
- 3Hold joint for set time; allow full cure before pressure
- 4Pressure-test at 1.5× working pressure for 30 minutes
Materials we use
CPVC pipe and fittings (Astral, Supreme, Ashirvad), CPVC solvent cement, brass-female adaptors for transition to taps and geysers.
Typical duration
Varies by run length — typical bathroom retrofit takes a half-day.
Safety & quality
Solvent cement has flammable vapour — we ensure ventilation and never use it near open flames.
Frequently asked questions
Why CPVC instead of UPVC for water supply?
UPVC cannot handle hot water. CPVC handles up to 93 °C, which covers any geyser output.
Can I mix Astral and Supreme fittings?
Mechanically possible but not recommended — joint compatibility is brand-specific. We standardise on one brand per job.
How long does CPVC last?
50+ years rated. In practice, fittings outlast the building if installed correctly and not exposed to UV.
