I am extending my hot and cold water lines in my kitchen about 3 feet. I have read the advantages and disadvantages to using CPVC v. Copper. Apparently, copper is the better choice, that much I understand. However, since I'm only going 3 ft with the CPVC should I be concerned at all? Will it make much of a difference if I go with copper or CPVC? Thanks for your help in advance.

If your sink is 3 feet away from the existing location your talking 6 feet of tubing not 3 as you hopefully want cold and hot water to this sink if I am correct?

Since I buy my Type L copper in 10 ft lengths, this would leave you 4 feet of tubing for any offsets you may have to make.

Personally I would use bamboo and bitumen instead of plastic and toxic glues and primers
