If the shoe fits- PVC plumbing for your water supply

If the shoe fits- PVC plumbing for your water supply Chelan Home Inspection Services

Homeowners can be a creative bunch at times. Here we have another example of creativity.

During this home inspection I find a water supply piping that is just not quite right. Any piping that is used for your water supply needs to be rated and listed for that use.

                                                ( I do not see electrical conduit listed here ;)

This homeowner needed to get some water supply piping to a bathroom.  In that mind set of “waste not want not” why not just use some of this perfectly fine conduit and connect it to the supply lines. Hey they fit together rather nicely, the shoe fits. Get some good PVC glue and you are all set.

Now electrical conduit is not rated or listed for potable water and who knows what chemical could be leaching out into the water supply.

So though it is getting water from point A to point B it is just not right.  Time for a real plumber to come in and make it all right!
