Just so there is no confusion, I have been posting here about THREE different houses. The subject of this post is a new house in the planning stages in Florida.
Considering three options:
1) Traditional CPVC branch supply system
2) PEX branch system (small manifold in each bath, kitchen, etc)
3) PEX HOme run system (one main manifold, all supply lines home run)
Two plumbers I called said PEX would cost MUCH more than CPVC....Yet I have noticed the cheap tract home companies are switching to PEX, and they always take the cheapest road.
So which is it? Perhaps the plumbers I called simply prefer CPVC?
Opinions?
