I have used CPVC and pex. The issue with CPVC is it gets brittle after a few years. It doesn't take much to break it. I quite using it a few years back and went to pex. I have only had one issue with pex. Pex isnt made for high temperatures. I wouldn't install it on any lines that the temperature will exceed 150°F. Also never install pex in direct sunlight it will break it down.
Homemoaners troll
Actually not bad to see. I knew CPVC was brittle as a neighbor told me
he accidentally broke a pipe by hanging on it when he worked under the sink.
No, he's a troll. Anything from homoaners is a troll. He has no
interest in discussing anything and references ten year (or more) old
posts in homoaners club.
If in doubt, look for the "X-poster: Hermes 2.0" tag.
Sunlight would degrade PEX as it does PE. Could also mention a neighbor
with it had numerous leaks from degraded fittings.
If you want to discuss it, start at thread but don't feed trolls.
