There is a lot of confusion, about what you can use or not for the house supply piping carries water from the service piping to the various points of use, including the water heater, fixtures, appliances such as dishwashers and clothes washers, and hose bibs.
Several materials may be used for supply piping. NOTE that polyethylene (PE) is not allowed in all areas. Some modern systems use cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) for hot and cold water. These systems are becoming popular (where permitted) in areas where the water attacks copper piping.
Common supply pipe sizes are ½- inch and ¾- inch. On very large homes, 1- inch supply pipes are occasionally found. The longer the run, the larger the pipe diameter should be.
Consult a qualified plumber in your area if you have any concerns.
Happy Rehabbing!!!
