I've had a few leaks over the years and figured out I was eligible for a repipe through the Cox vs. Shell program. It took a little while but I got the work authorization in the mail this week.
One of the questions asked was which type of pipe I'd like used for the repipe. My choices are:
SRD 11 CPCV
Type M Copper.
I've been reading the boards and it seems copper might be the way to go.
Other places on the net praise CPVC (flowguard).
Most of the paperwork talks about CPVC and that seems to be the default.
I'm more concerned with getting the right product and right installer.
There's a couple of big contractors that do this kind of work, plumbing express and delta seem to show up a lot. Does it make sense to use one of these or look for a local group?
I live in Raleigh, NC if the location makes a difference, I'm also on city water.
btw... Great forum, some really good ideas and reads
