    For regular PVC pipe I would go to Home Depot, it is thicker than what Lowes carries. I do know Lowes carries flexible PVC, but it's hit or miss.

    Btw the cement is Weld-on 905 or make sure it states for flexible PVC and regular PVC. I could not find it at any plumbers supply, Home Depot or Lowes.

    Would you really get better flow using a braded flexible tubing? I have used 1" PVC all around and am just second guessing myself. I do have good flow so i'm not complaining, but just wondering?

    No PVC if fine. Braided tubing tends not to collapse and is stronger.

    Just to clarify, I meant stronger than regular vinyl tubing and not stronger than PVC. ;)
