I just got my cooler all cut up and pipes all glued, then I come in here and read a post about PVC not working and leaching chemicals of something...???

Did I just waste my time with PVC?

on edit: I just realized this was in the DIY section.. Meant to put it under Equipment..
 
Well I pulled this off some website google found..

High Temperature RatingsPVC thermoplastic can handle fluids at service temperatures up to 140°F (60°C), allowing a wide range of process applications, including corrosive fluids.

Damn.. Back to HomeDepot... :mad:
 
Definitely go back and get CPVC. It is cream colored and usually right next to the standard, white PVC. I built my manifold out of the stuff and it has worked great for three years now.
