Default plastic plumbing vs copper - a moan.

I'm going to use one foot of plastic pipe to the outside tap.
It ,might be safer if we have a freezing cold spell- it may have some
give, some expansion capacity.
Otoh I could be completely wrong. Those joints might pop off with a
bit of frost.



I've had Hep2O fittings crack with frost on outside pipes and, for that
reason, wouldn't recommend them where there is the posibility of them
freezing.
