Unless this place was by a nicely moving creek and had either a waterwheel

They seem to have some sort of bizzarre philosphy that is made up on
the fly.

I was in one of those Amish towns a while ago, and was bemused to see
one of their horse-drawn buggies pull up at the gas station and fill
up several 2-3 gal gas cans. I asked a lady in the Amish shop why
that was, and the reply was that it's for generators, the use of
generators is permitted as the power is "under their control" ie it
does not come from the grid where some other (non believer?) contorls
it.

I pointed out that the generators were probably made in Japan or China
and presumably not under their control either and questioned how that
could fit. The reply was that Amish philosphy/law was arrived at by a
wise old council of men.

It's like most religions, there's nothing rational about it.

Whereas secular communities are completely rational, right? Why is it that
people feel qualified to critique the Amish's decisions on how they choose
to live? I promise you they don't stay awake nights wondering if you accept
their lifestyle.

Yes, cpvc is still pvc. Metal is good. Rubber is good.

A tractor service shop in town uses 1" CPVC for all their air lines.
(the light tan stuff) They've used it for the last 18 years without
incident. Their system is at 150 PSI leaving the compressor.

It may go another 18 years but it can go tomorrow. There are real incidents
of air lines rupturing and thus, the reason for not using it.

Is the CPVC considered just as bad as PVC for air or ?? I know the regular
plumbing grade CPVC is somewhat more flexible compared to PVC, perhaps
it is less likely to shatter when it ruptures.
