Flowguard Gold vs Lewis CPVC
"squinny" Most plumbers don't like CPVC, but not for the reasons you list. First of all, it's impossible to make it look good. Even a good plumber's work looks like a moronic DIYer. Secondly, it's so easy that even a woman could install it. Gee, I hope that doesn't get anyone in a snit. |

I would think that the best way to solve this problem would be to measure, lay out and hang the horizontal sections of pipe, using only the couplings at first, and then proceed from there.

At least the feminists won't have to sue for sex discrimination to get their way. :-) Robert |

"Robert Calvert" I would think that the best way to solve this problem would be to measure, lay out and hang the horizontal sections of pipe, using only the couplings at first, and then proceed from there. It doesn't help. The pipe sags even if you strap it every joist. The vertical branches also bow. Personally, I think that the extra time it takes to make it look halfway decent makes up for the extra time copper takes. |
