I'm looking for a second (or third) set of eyes for my thermal expansion design. It's a 12 story building and I'm looking at 2" CPVC domestic hot water (140 °F) piping. See my attached markups where I show expansion joints, guides, and anchors; does this look okay? Am I missing anything? Any tips are appreciated.
