-> don't weigh out.  Too much expense to test and certify vs too little
-> payback in sales.

-> 2.  Residential water lines typically come in at around 100 PSI with
-> +/- 50PSI surges, so containment of pressure isn't an issue.  What is

 My little Stewart-Warner oil pressure guage off the water main says
54psi.  Seems quite steady.


-> itself.  The plumbing contractor is a licensed, bonded and insured
-> installer of PVC

 Possibly.  But not necessarily.  And almost certainly not in the case
of pipe sold at consumer outlets.


-> manufacturer of many liability concerns, since the plumber bears some
-> of the liability burden.  The same would not be true of me going

 The plumber bears none of the burden for the materials alone.  He's
liable for the entire job, but for a material-related failure he'd have
a good chance of passing the buck to the pipe manufacturer.  American
courts are an unceasing source of amusement.

equipment.
