[Public-list] PVC pipe

[George Dinwiddie]

I hope Roger doesn't think this is heresy, but I'm thinking of using PVC 
pipe on the boat.  Specifically, I'm thinking of using PVC in the 
sanitary plumbing so that I can use sweep elbows instead of 90 elbows. 
All connections to the PVC would be through hose, to prevent problems 
with rigid connections.

I'm thinking, from the head, hose to a hose barb mounted to a PVC sweep 
elbow, a short length of PVC schedule 40 to another PVC sweep elbow and 
another hose barb, and hose from there to the 90 elbow into the holding 
tank.  From the holding tank outlet, hose to a PVC sweep elbow, short 
length of schedule 40 to a sweep elbow with a cleanout port.  From the 
elbow upward, a piece of schedule 40 to a hose barb and then hose from 
that to the deck pumpout.  From the cleanout port, a hosebarb, then hose 
to the macerator pump.

Why should I not do this?
