that's what I did 25 years ago and no problems.


25 years? *great.


Same here but it has been a bit longer. One advantage of cpvc over
copper is the ease of making changes/additions. A hacksaw (or tubing
cutter), a bottle of glue, a bottle of cleaner/solvent and few cheap
fittings will get a new run installed in minutes.

Odd that he didnt' suggest PEX. That stuff is more expensive than cpvc
but is flexible to make runs through walls.
