Hi, my house has a leak in the hot water pipe going to the 2nd floor bath

C-PVC pipes. He told he's been using C-PVC for years w/o problems. *He
further states copper is way too expensive these days.
Want do you think?

Thanks


CPVC ok just not PVC , A hint, get foam pipe insulation the one that
has glued edges and the plastic tape that is removed to seal the
insulation, not HD stuff. Copper transmits and looses heat CPVC will
save you money in less heat loss also be sure to insulate the pipe. Be
sure he sands, primes all joints.
