Default TPR pipe, can I be PVC ?
The pvc was the schedule 40 heavier type. Is that allowable or should
it be metal ?

Similar thread...see this post: http://www.nachi.org/forum/f22/cross...and-tpr-23803/

Here's the table of allowable distribution piping (and TPR piping) per the 2006 IRC. (PVC not listed.)
