Question:
I need to connect a copper hot water line to cpvc pipe, both 1/2″ ID. What is the correct adapter to do this with that will pass inspection, and must this type of connection be made in a freely accessible location (i.e. not inside a wall)? I am leaning towards a compression type fitting to avoid having to sweat copper to copper. If I have to do that I may as well run copper the whole length.
Answer:
You can use a Sharkbite connector which will fit CPVC and transition to the copper line as well.
