Default Re: CPVC is it ok?

why would you want to use CPVC? is the 4mm in pipe circumference that you'll be shaving off by using CPVC vs. sch40 PVC really that noticable? a thinner wall = less durable. plumbing does get brittle over time. i'm not saying you will have issues, just saying i don't see the benefit.

if aesthetics are the issue, i wouuld go the opposite direction and use sch80, which is dark gray and far less noticeable.
