New PVB install
Hello all!
I'm going to install a Conbraco 4A-505-02F 1 in. Freeze Resistant PVB Backflow Preventer, the reason I picked this one, because it was the cheapest one that is freeze resistant.
My questions is, would i be acceptable to run 1", sch80 PVC from the basement, up to this PVB and then back down to the ground to the manifold? Or should I use copper instead? Is sch80 pvc not allowed outside exposed? I'm in Wisconsin if that matters.
The reason I would like to use PVC is for the ease of install, and the cost, but if copper is required, I'm capable of installing that instead.
Thanks!
