Can plastic pipe go DIRECTLY to a water heater?
I was told there should be at least one foot of copper or steel pipe
between the heater and PEX or CPVC pipes. Looking on the web, all I see are opinions, no facts. Does the code have anything to say about it? What about the manufacturers of these plastic pipes? I do see where the heat from the heater could cause failure of these pipes, so I'd rather just use the metal pipes, but I'm looking to find out what is supposed to be done. I'm looking for FACTS and REQUIREMENTS, not opinions! |

The install manual for the new proposed WH would be a good reference to start with. Sometimes practical issues make it a moot point too. Like if you're going to use those flex hoses to connect it.
