Hello all,
I did a search earlier today and I think I checked all of the related threads, but I'm throwing this out here to be sure.
I'm finishing up a shower remodel and I found that the current shower supply line is PVC, not CPVC. This is an older 3-handle price pfister manifold (where the hot, cold, and diverter valves screw in)...
As an aside, this is a 2-bath house and the other shower supply line is apparently the original copper, but the one we're fixing now is PVC.
There's a small leak at the manifold where the shower supply line connects. My goal is to remove the worn PVC line and install a new CPVC fitting and supply line.
The original PVC was 1/2". I've already purchased 3/4" CPVC. The only thing I need to do now is buy the adapter that will connect the CPVC into the manifold.
I've read that CPVC is more flexible... this is around a 5'-7' run of supply line I would guess. Is there anything that I might need to connect a CPVC shower supply line to the existing price pfister manifold other than one of those copper-to-CPVC adapters? I read something about specialty copper fittings required to go from different pipe diameters and I want to be sure I don't miss the chance to do the right thing.
