My neighbor's got a leak in the hot water line running from the

line. He's going to use Copper. Wouldn't it be better to use PVC?

If it is hot water, you might use CPVC. But not PVC. PVC is not
good for hot water.

I done screwed up then , all the plumbing in our new house is PVC ... oh
wait , it's good for up to 140° and we keep the water heater set at around
125° to avoid potential scalding . Still , it will bear watching ...
That's why I have a problem gettingwater in my weighing cup up to 120+
to use in my bread machine.

Terry..Id watch that carefuly. Ive seen more than one plumbing job
gone wrong over the years as the PVC got more and more brittle and
then they turned up the heat a bit.

Skyline must have run out of copper the day they did my
kitchen...there was a 12" stub of PVC between the copper supply line
and the flex feeder hose for the hot water in my kitchen sink. Worked
just like a fuse link it did

Thats the reason Im going to have to replace all my floors before
long.

Came home and found 2" of water throughout the house.

Not a fun gas bill either.....

LOL!
