CPVC Pros Much less in cost of materials Almost have the to time in labor to install Easier to make changes on Stay cleaner inside of pipe for no corrosion Can take direct contact to concrete CPVC Cons More bracing to hang and install Pipe can rattle and shake in not strapped well Brakes quicker when freezes Can't sweat out a coupling or fitting to repair and need to cut off that fitting and add pipe to get the correct distance if the repair is close to a fitting. Copper Pros Can handle a freeze better Can be installed with less bracing Can take more abuse when bumped Pipe rattles less Copper Cons Much more cost for materials. Twice as long to install Builds up quicker in corrosion to eat copper Can't be exposed to direct contact to concrete Signed 21 Boat If I Helped To Answer Your Question Please Rate My Answer |

Hi Revethead. I read the site you posted and I sadly laughed about the stealing of the copper. It reflects how bad our society has become. Ive been a victim several times when the thief's actually ripped out a 3 story re hap TWICE and then it was a guard dog I remember when we could leave tools on our jobs. Good site by the way. I went off job thoughts. Signed 21 Boat If I Helped To Answer Your Question Please Rate My Answer |
