Corzan® CPVC vs. OTHER CPVC

Advantages

More than 1 billion feet of CPVC was installed in plumbing systems globally in 2017. CPVC has established itself as the material of choice for hot and cold water plumbing systems. 

However, not all CPVC is the same. Only Corzan® CPVC pipes and fittings offer proven performance backed by nearly 60 years of successful installations and can call itself the pioneer in CPVC technology.

Proven Performance 

Our first plumbing systems were installed more than 55 years ago, and many of those are still in use today.
