I am currently remodeling my bathroom that recently had a sewage backup in it. I purchased bathub/shower hardware and have to replace the diverter I currently have. I have cpvc for my water supply line and then copper lines running from the diverter to the shower head and tub spout. I don't like working with copper because I don't like soldering. Can I replace the copper with cpvc piping or do these lines need to be copper? I know copper nipples are used to connect the spout and shower arm, but could I use pvc instead? The connections at the diverter are on there tightly and i cannot turn them, it looks like i might have to cut into the plumbing and reapply fittings for the new diverter valve. Pvc is much easier to work with and I prefer to do this if possible, otherwise I guess I'll just have to run new copper lines for the shower head and spout. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
