If I had the money, rigid copper all the way to the shutoffs at the fixtures.
flexible ones from the shutoffs to the faucets.

The drain and water line are run from the sink cupboard by the cabinets not out the front. (really warm water furnish is critical, and a dishwasher tee on the tailpiece.) Did you ever see the strains uncovered like that? you'll also desire a faithful electric powered line run to the unit besides. because it truly is clear you're clueless, make your self a cup of tea and pay someone who's conscious what they're doing set up it.

the new pex lines are the best. the main manifold (the start of all the lines) is like a fuse box. all the plumbing fixtures have a direct line from the box to the plumbing fixture, each has a shut off in the box. no lines have splices, so these is only two spots that can leak, (but never will) and there both are acsessable.

I believe the best are copper. I'd call a plumbing supply store and aska nd make sure you bury them enough, if they aren't buried far enough you'll have frozen lines and they won't pass inspection. they have to be inspected unless you live in a rural area where they don't care. Make sure they are large enough to supply a good water flow too, your pressure is determined by the size of the line. Good luck.

john h was right the best flex lines are called PEX they are the replacement for polybutelyne or gray. it was outlawed a long time ago, but pex is great and affordable. you can use crimp rings on pex or compression fittings. but the best thing is its easy to fix leaks. Pex is fine for hot and cold water but the flexibility is what makes it easier to work with than rigid pipe like PVC, CPVC,Copper.

We just built a house in Aug. and put the flex tubing in. We are very happy with it. It is easier to work with and install and it is cheaper the copper tubing. It has been around for awhile and is a good product. If you do install it yourself you do need to have a special tool to piece the tubes together, it is expensive but they can be rented.

If you are running them inside the house then copper is the best way to go.

I would use CPVC. Much easier to work with and less problems with joints sealing.
Cheaper too.

Yes, and most are made to last and are much stronger than those that need to be sealed.
Amazing.
GOD bless.
