At GREMAX we know that the correct materials and pressure ratings can make a substantial difference in how well everything operates together. CPVC, short for chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, is commonly used because it is strong and can withstand high temperatures. When you’re choosing cpvc fittings, you need to consider what you’ll use them for and how much pressure they will be under, as well as whether they’ll work with other parts of your system.

CPVC Fitting Selection Guide: Material, Pressure & Compatibility

When choosing CPVC wholesale fittings to buy, there are several factors you need to consider. Materials of the fittings are the first thing to consider. CPVC is a heat and corrosion resistant material that performs well in both hot and cold water systems. But not all CPVC Pipe Fitting are made the same. Some will be more flexible or stiffer, depending on how thick you get them. If you require fittings for high pressure systems, make sure they are rated as such for the appropriate level of pressure. And consider the size of the fittings, too. They also need to correspond with the pipes you are using or you will have leaks or things breaking apart. GREMAX has size set for actual use. 

Another factor is the cost. Purchasing in large quantities can be a good way to save money, but it’s equally important to think about the quality. Less expensive fittings may not hold up as well and may end up causing more repairs or replacements in the long run. Find fittings that offer a good balance of quality and price. Also consider the warranty or guarantee on your fittings. Other positive things can be said about a good warranty, like having the assurance in mind that the manufacturer is standing behind their products. And, finally: Don’t forget the supplier.

You’ll need to know the diameter and pressure rating of your current system.

So, always use the same material type, such as exclusively CPVC. 

Next, look for any specific system requirements. Certain applications may also require special types of fittings, such as when connecting pipes at angles or to other materials. And consider the temperature of the fluids that will be traveling through these CPVC pipe. CPVC works with hot water, but the fittings may not withstand your system’s temperatures. If you are unsure, GREMAX’s team will help orientate you. 

Finally, it’s nice to check the installation process. Some fittings are more difficult to install than others. If you have a complex system, you may prefer fittings that are easy to use. This will save you time and headache during initializing. Lock up the fittings good to prevent any leaks down the road.
