I'm getting ready to add a couple of hose bibs to the exterior of my home (but all pipe will be inside walls). My home is plumbed with copper, and while I've sweated copper joints a few times - I've got much more experience with PVC. I like the idea of being consistent with existing materials, but the location where I need to run the new line would be difficult to work a torch safely, so I'm leaning towards PVC. Should I reconsider?
Also, the spot where I need to tee off of the existing waterline is in a very tight location. I was considering using a sharkbite tee to prevent needing to use a torch in the tight area, but if that's not really a good idea - I think I could manage.
Thoughts? Thanks for your help!
