Feel like there's been a lot of that lately

If we're talking about heaters designed to go inline in the piping, you should be fine. When you first said 6000 watts I pictured a hot water tank heater siliconed into a tee joint or something.
Why would the glued joints fail before the piping? My understanding (which may be flawed) of PVC cementing is that it's similar to acrylic cementing, creating a bond that is as strong as the base material and should not be affected by heat.

But as a side note: If it were me, and I was working on my system, that was going to include a pair of $907.00 inline heaters, I would not be considering PVC of any sch...I would be plumbing with stainless pipe...
cvermeulen;2179436; said:I agree with your first statement. Although I think you might run into a problem in the event of a double failure - I.e. Heater stuck on, AND pump failed, so the heater sits there pumping 6000w into your PVC. At $900 however, I'm sure said heaters have redundant safety mechanisms, and besides, how likely is it for your heater to stick ON and your pump to stick OFF.
As for stainless piping... I haven't priced it out lately, but I bet you'd be into it for a lot more than $900 in pipe by the time it was plumbed.
