TPR pipe, can I be PVC ?

[dnasser (David Nasser)]

The pvc was the schedule 40 heavier type. Is that allowable or should
it be metal ?

Here’s the table of allowable distribution piping (and TPR piping) per the 2006 IRC. (PVC not listed.)

[jpope (Jeffrey Pope, CMI)]

Not allowed in CA. . .

[rmaday (Rick Maday)]

Nor in IL

Can be CPVC here, but not PVC.

Allowed in some areas of California that are fairly close to Mexico. LOL
