Compression Angle Stops on CVPC?!?

Is it okay to use a compression style angle stop on 1/2" CPVC pipe? I've got some solvent weld style that are specially for CPVC, but seems like if you ever need to replace for some reason, you'd have to cut off the solvent fitting, reducing the amount of CPVC you have to work with from the wall to the stop.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Or, cut pipe THIS one time and solvent-weld on a male threaded adapter made of cpvc, and screw on any stop you desire (except pvc - such as cpvc or metal) that has female threads to match.

Water Line Noise

jrjdrayer on Jul 07, 2007

I had an emergency repair completed on my main water line into my house this past spring. I have older galvanized pipes which sprung a leak at the threads. Long story short, it was replaced by a plumber using a pvc compression coupling because they were out of options and the water pressure is very high. (Water could not be shut off at street because valve is stuck "open") Now I notice a hissing noise that is definitely coming from the compression coupling, but there is no leak whatsoever. Could this be something that could easily be fixed before something bad happens ??? I would appreciate any ideas !Read More
