I have pvc piping to the bathroom, will this be a problem?

no but you must have 36" of copper from unit to the pvc pipe , pvc will handle the heat

use copper 18 inches out both sides of the water heater. Then change back to pvc.

The instructions explain to use at least two feet of copper tubing on the inlet and outlet side. I did and have had no problems. Be sure to use jam wrenches on the compression fittings to prevent distortion of the coils.

You need apr. 2 ft of copper or gal. on each side of water heater, I had pvc and cpvc to mine to start and the cold side melted and burst, the copper will cool down before heat reached the pvc, Carl

Yes Just be careful of the flow - you may need to go parrell/series on the piping

I assume it's safe. It looks to be made of PVC, the same type of material that water pipes are made of. It doesn't have a smell or taste.

I would think you could remove that fitting and add a female threaded/sweat fitting. The internals are mostly plastic, so I would keep the heat away from that. That fitting works well....I used it with 3/4" PVC.

Offhand, not really, but you could check for kinks in the lines. Sometimes also when turning the water off at the source, it doesn't come all the way back if the plumbing is old.

Depends where you plan on placing it, I have mind on a piece of 1/14 PVC pipe.

We have PVC pipes and have had no obvious problem. Seems to work well, recommended to us by the local hardware store - a place that takes matters like this, quite seriously. In fact, the have a dozen alternative products and they were strong in recommending thus one. I put it in 2-3 times per year and leave a box on the floor with a list of dates. Smells a bit when you dump the stuff in the hopper and flush. So best to be leaving after application. And, best not to use caustic materials that drain to tank. Kills off te good bugs.

to the best of my knowledge R/O water will eat away at any metal and you need to use it with pvc piping. I am NOT a plumber but if I were you I would talk to an expert.

plastic pipe is fine if there is water in the pipe. you need a way to transport heat along the pipe to avoid hot spots.electrically, the only concern is ground water getting into connections.you should try to contact customer service and confirm that the cable is properly rated for underground use and that the termination is fully sealed.

Absolutely, build your frame out of pvc piping! When you're done just roll it up.

Should be no problem but I do want to bring up the fact that this sink is made of a plastic material not typical kitchen style. I used it in 2 utilities so far and they work great.

NO problem at all with that. A plumber installed my faucet and that probably helped to get it done correctly.

Just use standard pvc cleaner, primer and cement as you would with any pvc plumbing.

Yes, I run mine through 30' of 1" PVC into the floor drain in my garage that is tied into the sewer system. I put a wet towel over the drain that I am dumping into and get very little odor. The toilet thing might be a bit stinky unless you hook it to a flexible hose and insert the hose into the bowl.
