CPVC Valves

If you're looking to enhance your systems with high-performance CPVC valves, you're in the right spot. Our valves are sourced from leading manufacturers and are perfect for applications requiring robust chemical resistance and high-temperature tolerance.

Take a look at our offerings and see how Valveman can provide the reliable valve solutions you need. Let's get started on improving your operations today.

What Are CPVC Valves?

CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) valves are a type of industrial valve made from a thermoplastic material known for its excellent chemical resistance and high-temperature tolerance. CPVC is an advanced PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) that undergoes a chlorination process, enhancing its properties and making it suitable for more demanding applications.

Compared to standard PVC valves, CPVC sets the mark for high-temperature resistance. In fact, a typical CPVC can withstand temperatures of up to180°F making it suitable for hot water distribution systems. In the same vein, these valves are well-engineered to control the flow of colder fluids, speeding up factory operations significantly.

Advantages of CPVC Valves

Corrosion Resistance

• CPVC valves offer excellent resistance to corrosion caused by chemicals, salts, and other aggressive substances.
• They do not rust, scale, or pit, ensuring long-lasting performance in harsh environments.

  Chemical Compatibility

• CPVC valves are compatible with a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, and oxidizers.
• They are suitable for use in chemical processing, water treatment, and other industries dealing with corrosive media.

  Lightweight and Easy Installation

• CPVC valves are significantly lighter than metal valves, making them easier to handle and install.
• Their lightweight nature reduces the stress on piping systems and supports, simplifying installation and maintenance.

  Cost-Effective

• Compared to exotic alloy valves, CPVC valves offer a cost-effective solution for corrosive environments.
• They provide excellent performance at a lower cost, making them an economical choice for many applications.

  Wide Temperature Range

• CPVC valves can handle a wide range of temperatures, typically from 32°F to 180°F (0°C to 82°C).
• They maintain their strength and dimensional stability even at elevated temperatures, making them suitable for hot water systems.

  Low Friction Loss

• CPVC valves have smooth interior surfaces, which minimize friction loss and promote efficient flow.
• This reduces pressure drop and improves system performance, saving energy and operational costs.

Types of CPVC Valves

CPVC valves come in various designs. Below are some examples, but this list isn’t exhaustive:

Ball Valves

These components contain a rotating ball, which functions as an ON/OFF switch for precise flow control.

Features:

• One-piece design requiring no adjustment.
• Bubble-tight shut-off with EPDM O-ring seals and PTFE seats. Learn more about seal selection for valves.
• High-impact polypropylene handle, suitable for potable water systems.

Check Valves

Check valves control the flow of liquid in only one direction. There is no backflow whatsoever, which makes them efficient for pumps and irrigation.

Features:

• Prevents backflow, ensuring unidirectional flow.
• Commonly used in pump systems and irrigation setups.

Butterfly Valves

Butterfly valves are used for isolating or regulating flow. They are quick to operate and suitable for large-diameter pipes.

Features:

• Quick and easy operation with a simple quarter-turn action.
• Ideal for applications requiring quick shut-off.

Applications of CPVC Valves

CPVC valves are used in a variety of settings due to their durability and resistance to high temperatures.

1. Chemical Processing: Handling aggressive chemicals and corrosive fluids.
2. Water Treatment: Use in water distribution systems, including potable water.
3. Industrial Processes: Suitable for various industrial applications where chemical resistance and durability are essential.
4. HVAC Systems: Used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems for fluid control.
5. Plumbing: Widely used in residential and commercial plumbing systems for hot and cold water distribution.

Certifications and Codes

Like other ball valves, CPVC valves are NSF-certified, and safe for use in drinking water systems. Before you purchase a valve for residential, commercial, or industrial use, make sure to check local building codes. This way, you can identify, use, and install the appropriate CPVC valve for the application.
