Answere is CPVC. CPVC can withstand at an temperature higher than that of UPVC and PVC. So its standard practice to use CPVC for hot water supply lines. Also its recommended to use CPVC pipes for supplying drinking water. But cpvc is slightely higher price.

  1. PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) - Polyvinyl chloride, more correctly but unusually poly(vinyl chloride), commonly abbreviated PVC, is the third-most widely produced synthetic plastic polymer, after polyethylene and polypropylene.
  2. CPVC (Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride) - Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride(CPVC) is a thermoplastic produced by chlorination of polyvinyl chloride(PVC) resin which is significantly more flexible and can withstand higher temperatures than standard PVC.
  3. Unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (uPVC) (Polyvinyl chloride) - uPVC, also known as rigid PVC, is extensively used in the building industry as a low-maintenance material, particularly in Ireland, the United Kingdom, in the United States and Canada. In the USA and Canada it is known as vinyl, or vinyl siding.
