How do you connect pvc to cpvc? I fired my contractor. All the plumbing in my addition is pvc. All the plumbing in my house is cpvc. How do i connect them together, or do i need to replumb my addition?

PVC is not approved for hot water. Maybe not for any water inside, have not checked the code that closely.

You should replace it with CPVC. Or even better with PEX.
