installing auto locks for sunfire?

Can you put auto locks in a 2001 sunfire that before didn't have any

Answer:

Not since 1977,when they added foil shielding to the outside.The radiation would cause the pacemaker to malfunction.You still should try to limit exposure,because the microwaves are generated in a magnetron and the pace maker is turned off by a magnet.Rapidly turning it on and off shortens the lifespan of the unit and can cause mafunctions.High voltage also is to be avoided,they have a magnetic field around them from the excited electrons.
Don't use pvc. Cpvc or pex is the better choice. Pex is faster to run and the fittings are crimped on.Cpvc takes longer a needs the glue to set up before turning on the water, but is cheaper and easier than copper.
PVC .. schedule 40.. Choose The yellow or cream colored PVC. Its for both hot and cold. Are you getting permit? You will need a 18 expansion tube on each line HOT/COLD above all fixtures. If you don't have the room , You can purchase a compact one ready made You really should get a permit. The best solution is to purchase a Basic Plumbing book. It may sound stupid BUT If you EVER sell your home, If its not correct,, The cost to do it TWICE is crazy. Just tring to helpDO IT RIGHT! DO IT ONCE! Think about it.
