Most plumbers don't like CPVC, but not for the reasons you list. First of
all, it's impossible to make it look good. Even a good plumber's work looks
like a moronic DIYer. Secondly, it's so easy that even a woman could
install it. Gee, I hope that doesn't get anyone in a snit.

I would think that the best way to solve this problem would be to measure,
lay out and hang the horizontal sections of pipe, using only the couplings
at first, and then proceed from there.

At least the feminists won't have to sue for sex discrimination to get their
way. :-)

Ah, the purple drips. The new primerless solvent for CPVC should fix that.

It doesn't help. The pipe sags even if you strap it every joist. The
vertical branches also bow. Personally, I think that the extra time it
takes to make it look halfway decent makes up for the extra time copper
takes.
