The wording is slightly ambiguous. They need to add a "pipe" after "PVC" if that's what they mean. By my interpretation (which is probably wrong), it seems that PVC of any sort would be allowed, while only pipe-shaped CPVC is allowed. If we really aren't allowed PVC bar stock (as I suspect), that's rather disappointing. I suppose polycarbonate would work just as well though, but it's more expensive.
