Robin,

I suspect builders have traditionally used hose to protect against vibration and it may be quicker to install during construction. Plus they don't have to worry about us poor buggers having to replace it every few years! I believe the flexible couplings I used are a relatively new product and that removes the vibration issue. PVC has been the US household standard for many years and its total impermeability means no odor, ever. Regards, Craig

We spend a great deal of money fitting odour proof piping so why doesn't the odour penetrate the PVC, and if it doesn't why do the builder fit expensive pipe? flexible rubber couplings to the thruhull, toilet, tank & Y-valve. It works great, is easier to work with than hose and NEVER smells.
