Why Plastic
 Copper piping is optimal for the majority of projects but there are occasions when plastic piping may be a better fit. For example, aggressive water or extremely hard water runs the risk of corroding copper piping. In these cases Plastic, or PVC, piping may be a good alternative to copper. Plastic piping also has cost savings benefits and is a more flexible material that may make installation easier.
Benefits of CPVC Include: - Lower priced compared to copper pricing
- Easy & Cost-Effective installation
- Self-insulating to minimize thermal loss.
