Here is the plumbing code but they are right. No PVC and I am pretty sure you need copper lines for feed lines.

Make sure you search commercial kitchen.

Thanks for your response! I searched commercial kitchen in the code book, and saw that it said PVC may not be used in commercial kitchens or public restrooms.

I understand having the plumbing for the new sinks I’m installing be copper, my question is will I still have to remove & replace all PVC even if the pipes aren’t related to the kitchen? For example, a restroom that is not opened to the public.

Literally a paragraph under that part.

No PVC schedule 40 pipe and fittings may be used for the toilet fixtures and other plumbing connections in the building.

Just use Ctrl+f it's a pdf

Ahh true, I should’ve searched PVC instead of “commercial kitchens” like you said. My fault
