Re: pipe fitting
Think about that for a minute: how often are sprinkler pipes used? How often are CPVC sprinkler pipes going to be used?

All piping, regardless of the material, expands and contracts during use, due to both temperature and pressure changes. This expansion and contraction produces movement of the pipe. With plastic pipe, this movement is more pronounced. So, when plastic pipe moves back and forth, like a saw, on a metal pipe hanger, what do you suppose is going to happen, eventually?
