I thought about it but once I realized I could buy straight sticks of 1" PEX and saw the price of 1" PVC I decided to go with PEX. Also the brittleness/aging question of PVC tipped the decision.
And I didn't have to wrestle to staighten rolled PEX!

Brittleness of the pvc would be my biggest concern then would be all of the 90 degree turns may drop flow rate way below where you want it yo the point it becomes ineffective.

This would be my main concern,
C/P What are the temperature limitations of PVC pipe?
The maximum use temperature for PVC pressure pipe is 140 degrees F. PVC DWV piping readily withstands the hot and cold water discharges that are normally associated with plumbing fixtures.

I totally agree with the temperature concerns of PVC. I have not seen the straight PEX, but If I could find that I would not use any other product. I like the product, but hate the roll! Does anyone know if an
air conditioning dallas
company has access to these straight pieces?
