The agreement to allow limited use of CPVC plastic pipe in residential applications throughout California was approved Nov. 14 by a vote of the California Building Standards Commission.
The vote made official an agreement reached this summer. The agreement amends the plumbing code to allow local building code officials to approve CPVC pipe if they can prove metallic pipe is failing or could fail as a result of local water conditions. The Building Standards Commission approved the agreement as submitted in September.
