How long does CPVC last in the sun?


The ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight can break down the molecular structure of PVC over time, causing it to become brittle and lose its structural integrity. Under constant UV exposure, Schedule 40 PVC typically lasts around 5-10 years

CPVC piping designated for fire protection can be left exposed if it is used as temporary piping for exhibit booths. This allows for flexibility in installation while ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
