if you have not done so already,
you need to put them on a web site
as an extra kicker when you sell your re-pipes to
your customers....All they got to do is go to your
site and click on that page and its a slam dunk.

people like to look at pretty pictures on computor screens.....

Way ahead of ya buddy. I just put together a repipe sales packet. Those pictures were but a taste from that packet. So far, I'm batting at 100% with that packet. I hope the trend continues

Protech,

In Florida you see CPVC in the slab? Do you see that in new construction or is that hack work? Geez that's crap why would a inspector with at least a 3rd grade level education allow such crap?

I will answer for him. Yes you will see that in new construction and the inspector will allow it because he MUST.....it meets the minimum requirments of their plumbing code.

Thats crazy. Can you put Type L copper in slab or a solder joint? I have to braze and use K copper under slab. No glue joint would ever be allowed. Guess everywhere is different.
