Hey guys, I've been searching the threads before posting but I can't find the answer to my question.
I have a square mash tun that I will be using for AG soon. It has a copper manifold on the bottom and I wanted to install a plastic manifold to fly sparge right off the bat for the top. I purchased all schedule 40 PVC fittings and pipe to make it, however after skimming through this forum, it has been recommended not to use anything other than CPVC. Does that theory apply to lautering manifolds as well as "discharge" manifolds? Discharge means the bottom manifold to me*
If I must use CPVC for my lauter manifold, does that mean pipe AND fittings are CPVC? I don't remember seeing CPVC fittings specifically in Lowes but I could have overlooked them.
I bought purple primer and cement to hold it all together. Will the 170 deg. sparge water leach chemicals from the glue?
