Especially in recent years metal, primarily galvanized steel or copper pipe prices have skyrocketed.
Plastic piping is typically constructed with low-cost, light-weight material in a factory setting. Not to mention, it's also fairly easy to transport, thus making them cheaper to manufacture.
Energy Efficiency
When it comes to the installation of plastic tubing, PVC pipes don't need insulation which makes them far less likely to lose heat or experience unwanted heat intrusion. In addition, they're more resistant to sweltering summer temperatures or the brutal cold of the winter. This means that they don't need condensation as well.
Easy to Install
Since you don't have to worry about insulation, plastic water lines are ultra-easy to install. Typically, a plumber in Trenton, NJ will need a CPVC primer or some form of plumbing cement to glue the pipes together. And in just a few minutes, your pipes are ready to go. Similar to repairing a plastic pipe, you may need to cut out the damaged section of the pip and replace it using a few couplers, which takes no time.
