I don't know if PVC is legal in your area. I would suggest using
PEX plumbing, which is new on the market in the US, but has a long
track record in Europe. It is flexiable, very resistant, and
goes together with crimp connectors. It should last in this
situation.


PEX is not new in the US, its been around since the 70s. Google on Shell and PEX
for details of a particularly nasty lawsuit or click he

That said, the current PEX formulations are probably fine...
