FullySprinklered
In the Trades
I did a water heater this morning and ran into some problems with the CPVC piping. It's old and brittle, and snapped off rather suddenly after two clicks from my ratchet cutters. This is what I thought to be the premium brand, and what I used exclusively when I was doing new houses, 10+ years ago. I picked up materials to do a copper installation, and got surprised once I got to the job. I transitioned my work to the CPVC with sharkbites and left everything dry and in good shape. However, I'm a little worried about the plastic not holding up. I was expecting a longer life-span out of the Flowguard-Gold pipe. If others have had similar concerns feel free to vector me to other posts on the subject. Thanks.
