OK,, I'm the dummy. I'm replacing all of the Polybutelene water supply pipes in my weekend mobile home with CPVC. The plan is to do it in stages,, with the water heater and the kitchen being the first to get done. So a couple of questions to make sure I'm heading down the right path.
I'm installing a new water heater. The current thought is to use a transition piece to plumb the water heater. What I mean is one half of the piece is a metal male fitting that would screw into the water heater (hot and cold sides) the other half is a female ¾" CPVC glue fitting. Is this a good way to do this?
Like this.
In looking at the faucet valves at Lowes yesterday the only one they had was what looked to be a glue fitting. The best way???
Lastley I need to tie back into the new CPVC hot and cold lines 4 of the old flex pipes that supply both of the baths. I didn't see anything at Lowes,,, so would some type of SharkBite transition be the right solution?
Many Thanks!!
