I guess no other plumbers are building these…pvc is made for drain waste vent piping, cpvc is made for potable water. All home centers carry the stuff…

I really would love to see the Acmetequila site’s version, but they have removed it. :-( Can anyone send a copy to me? bbluvbasket@cox.net

This site shows the pipe routed from the exhaust port of the garbage disposal, but the acmetequila site shows the pipe routed from the dishwasher inlet port. Does it make a difference?

Seriously, people. You’re worried about the *PVC pipe* being toxic? I’d be far more concerned about the garbage disposal unit- as it’s the only component that wasn’t designed with the slightest bit of thought put towards anyone drinking something that went through it. In all reality the garbage disposal is probably adding something unwanted… I certainly wouldn’t trust it.

Hope that helps.

Hmm, I’d want to read the label on that plumber’s putty though…

While I’d not use PVC for my household potable water lines, it shouldn’t be a concern in this application. As long as the water isn’t static in the pipes for extended periods of time (weeks/months) the possible release of dioxin or other CDDs would be negligible. I’d be more concerned about the solvent and/or cleaners used to prep and fasten the pipes. There are potable-water-safe cleaners and solvents available.

Cheers,

pvc is used in non consumable plumbing, like piss and shit filled water. look under your sink and your feed lines will be copper pipe, but the drains are more likely to be pvc.

Something about using PVC pipe to deliver properly chilled and prepared poison is quite refreshing however…Well done!

“I’m pretty sure that PVC being used to deliver consumable liquids is dangerous.”

Er, what do you suppose a 1/2″ pvc pipe is for if not plumbing? Teeny weeny spaghetti-string-poopie sewer lines?
