Replacing waterline next week, need some advice
Posted: Thu Jun 25, 2009 7:18 pm
OK, it's been a long time since I've had to post anything. But I've got a new project lined up and need some help.
I plan on replacing all my PB waterlines next week while wife is gone with little ones, and older ones are gone to camp. First I need to know what material should I use. I wanted to use just regular PVC pipe. Then I saw a post where someone said if you don't use PEX then at least use CPVC. Money is somewhat of an issue that's why I wanted to go PVC. However, if I used PEX, is the crimping at every joint gonna be quicker and less time consuming than gluing the PVC?
I hope and pray I've got everything else figured out for the most part. I thought about replacing the sink/vanity in the master bath while doing this since water would be off. The one we have now is a his/her sink with no counter space left for anything. Have to see how everything else goes by the time I make it to that end of the house.
Any advice anyone has for me on the project would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jason
