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

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 getting water in my weighing cup up to
120+ to use in my bread machine.

My bread recipes all call for 105° to 110° , I usually preheat the
mixer with hot water . I only use mine for mixing and the first rise
. FWIW I just started recently using Seal of Minnesota unbleached
baking flour from the local Mennonite store . Beats the stuffin' out
of the stuff we were buying at Walmart . Picked up a 50 lb bag just
today ... I make all our loaf bread , hamburger and hot dog buns ,
bread sticks , pizza dough . The wife does the sweet stuff ...

"Mine" above refers to my bread machine ...
Using 120 F water gives me a dough temp of about 94 which seems to
work OK.

My bread machine has the heating element in the bottom , don't know what
the dough temp actually is but it feels like around 100° or so when I pull
it after the first rise . I've been using the quick yeast , rise time is
about half of the programmed cycle .
The heating element on mine (B&D) is only for the bake cycle. I use
Fleishman's "Bread Machine Yeast" and recently discovered that it
should be refrigerated after the jar is opened.
