CPVC solvent cement can be used on CPVC and PVC pipe. PVC solvent cement can only be used on PVC pipe. PVC stands for poly vinyl chloride. CPVC stand for Chlorinated poly vinyl chloride. CPVC is harder, stronger pipe. It requires a stronger solvent cement than PVC pipe. CPVC solvent cement is strong enough to bond CPVC pipe and fittings, so it is strong enough to bond PVC pipe and fittings as well. But PVC solvent cement is not strong enough to properly bond CPVC pipe and fittings and should not be used on CPVC.
