Plumbing what kind?

[CrealBilly]

What type of plumbing are these supply lines?



Thx

Looks like CPVC supplying the valves and can't remember for the life of me what the other piping is called.

Looks like PVC to valve to Pex

The house I bought in Creal Springs has this type of plumbing (CPVC?). The house was built in 1920, so obviously the plumbing has been upgraded. I just wanted to identify the type.

Reading on the internet about CPVC seems like its a cakewalk to work with.

Thanks Guys.

If youre concerned about codes, you may want to find out if that meets local codes before you add on to it or modify it in any way.

the supply lines look as everyone has said to be cpvc pipes, presonally if I were doing it and if you have other plumbing to redo I would invest in the crimpers (they can be a little costly) and use pex pipe, it is a lot easier to deal with and a better quality product.

That being said the part that would concern me is the drain lines, I am assuming this is on a sink and you would want to double check in IL but i'm pretty sure plumbing code requires a vent on all sink drains. These are easily added with a few extra connectors under the sink. I attached a link that shows how to do it on a similar setup to what you have. http://www.hammerzone.com/archives/kitchen/sink/drain/02/replace_old.htm

Also, if this is plumbing in an old house I'm sure you have smelt some wonderful things today

You guys keep mentioning codes, there are no code here. The plumbing in this house doesn't scare me at all... but the electric that's a completely different story - I'm scared and I admit it.

I stated taking the drop ceiling down in the kitchen and my said OMG what kind of crazy #### is that? And it's rare she actually swears. Both these pictures are above the drop ceiling in the kitchen.

So just how many "code" violations can you count in this pic?


Here is another side of the kitchen also above the drop ceiling. How many violations do you see here?


I'm getting my bolt cutters and its all coming out and i'll run it right.

much easier and smaller list as to what is RIGHT. Answer at least they used #12 wire

As a former fire safety/insurance inspector all I can do is shake my head.

With no building code, there are NO code violations. But using common sense, I don't see much that is right in pictures.

Hope you've got a good volunteer fire department there. Most house fires are caused by either electrical shorts or kitchen mishaps.

You can't fix stupid... I have not had the electricity, gas or water turned on yet. And when I do, one breaker gets turned on at a time. Obviously the kitchen breaker will not be turned on until I fix that mess.

With a mess like that you don't have any guarantee that the panel is labeled correctly either, so be careful.

From the pics, that looks like CPVC supply lines. CPVC is for hot water, but works fine for cold also. The fittings are not interchangeable with PVC. As mentioned before, you need the correct glue.

I have seen "p" traps before to stop sewer gas back-up, but must admit that is the first Capital P trap!! The drain piping appears to be regular PVC.
