Greetings all,
Brand new here. I've roughed in some plumbing for my bathroom remodel and I decided to use the CPVC dogears at the fixture locations. These are the ones sold by Lowes & HD that have a brass threaded insert for the stub out, but CPVC on the remaining portion of the fitting...including the plastic mounting ears. One person told me that the plastic ears were prone to break, while another guy told me he's used them many times with no problem. This plumbing will be run through the interior walls. I chose CPVC for that reason. I feel better about using glued joints behind the drywall. I'd welcome any warnings or assurances about this strategy. Thanks in advance for any responses.
Michael
