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.)

Can be CPVC here, but not PVC.

Allowed in some areas of California that are fairly close to Mexico. LOL
