If you don't have the soldering rig, a $7 Sharkbite is less than a burner, a

sharkbites don't fit pvc. they fit CPVC.


(teach me moment)

Are not PVC / CPVC in the same diameters, etc.? I know CPVC is for
hot water. 1/2 PVC is not the same size as 1/2 CPVC?

Thanks.

PVC is sized by ID (inside diameter)
CPVC is sized by OD (outside diameter)
