Where CPVC exits the wall, does it need support/mounting? I can't seem to find any information on that. It sure seems like it should be secured.
Thanks. I should have moved the escutcheon (edit - for the picture - I did move it on site), but there is nothing behind it.

Ralph,
There are CPVC brackets for these supply lines. I write up all CPVC supplies that are not mounted. |

I often see these or similar during phase. Once drywall is applied they would only be visible if escutcheon was moved as suggested.

I see all sorts of hardware securing these pipes, but I'm finding that most of them are not secured at the cabinet pentration area. |

I see this more and more often with plastic. Plumbers today don't seem to think that CPVC needs anchoring for some reason. They put anti-shock devices in line so I guess they figure they don't need to anchor.
