Be very careful about introduction of a foreign substance into a CPVC pipe
system, need to check if the odorant is compatible with CPVC piping. You do not
want to introduce a substance that could cause environmental stress cracking.
If you do, you have just brought the system.

Did the owner who drained it note anything about the leak? Is there any
evidence of water/glycerin staining?

Subject: CPVC leak
Need some input: Working on an existing CPVC system which original owner
drained glycerin out of the system because of a leak. We have tried to find
the leak with 40 psi of air pressure, still unable to find a leak. Has anyone
introduced a smell into the system with the air pressure to find such a leak.
If so, what could we use for the smell?
