Google to the rescue. I searched on "CPVC glass transition temperature" and got this
a short clip says:
"Heat Resistance
CPVC can withstand corrosive water at temperatures 40C to 50C greater than PVC, contributing to its popularity as a material for water piping systems in residential as well as commercial construction."
also "CPVC is ideally suited for self-supporting constructions where temperatures up to 200°F (93°C) are present"
Glass transition temperature is the point when plactic "noodles" to use the Professor's term :) So CPVC is at least 70deg F. better than PVC. Is that good enough? Don't know.
