I was looking at construction options for cost versus potential benefit. I would consider putting a little extra money into under slab plumbing for building a home if it would provide extra resistance to subsidence, thermal contraction, seismic vibration, etc. A neighbor had to cut through concrete to get to plumbing - it was pretty $ to fix.
To get an idea of the cost difference, I tried to compare schedule 40 and schedule 80 sanitary tees. I did not find any of the schedule 80 tees on the internet or at HD. Is this because they don't exist? Any comments on finding the tees or tips on protecting under-slab plumbing are appreciated. My buddy insists that I need to pay for a basement for easy access to plumbing, but that's not a good option right now.
