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.

As a lab. tech. etc. I have worked in SI (Metric) since 1960.
