Bubba, Thanks for explaining!! Ill be building my MLT next week and really got wondering... I am currious about the difference in the plastics of the cooler because I would assume that they are made from similar pvs.
Cheers!

I have now read in a bunch of different places that PVC pipe doesn't handle heat very well and will eventually give out. I saw one site say that anything over 140 degrees was too much and most strike water temps are above 152 if I'm not mistaken.

Have any of you experienced any problems with PVC?

Finished building my copper manifold today. I used about $12 worth of parts
