Homes are now commonly plumbed with 12" crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) pipe rather than
copper. PEX is significantly cheaper (20x) than copper and does not require heat or solder to
join. The water meter (which measures the volume of water passing through when it enters the
house) must be plumbed with 12'' copper, and adapts from the incoming municipal service line,
which is 2" PVC. Sewage exits the house along 2" ABS piping.
Create a list of pipe, fittings, and instrumentation required for plumbing a house with 1 four-piece
bathroom, 1 two-piece bathroom, a kitchen, and a laundry room, using PEX as the primary piping
material.
