  • I want to do this to my hoiuse, but I have ground wires on the cold water line from the meter. Does Pex negate needing the wires at that point now from the meter? thanks

  • I've just learned alot of patience go's a long way !! Beautiful job !!

  • Just asking your opinion. For some reason I seem to trust shark bite connections more. The crimp seems a bit cheesy to me. Probably I am wrong. I have used shark bite for 4 years now. They seem to be excellent. I know they cost more but I don’t care. I trust them. I have used probably 30 or so for me and my friends and a few other people. Never had a problem. Even used as main shut off valve. What is your view. You have great advise. Thanks Paul

  • Good job and it looks good to me but they say your supposed to have like 18” of metal off the water heaters cold &hot water connectors before you go to péx but I’ve seen others use pex as you did even had it even closer without a valve they went pex right to the male nipple on the tank seems fine to me but I’m getting ready to change my tank and I keep seeing that ya need 18” of metal before u go to pex well what about cpvc?

  • Hey Al. Are there area’s that you can’t use pex off the water heater. Or is there a minimum of copper before you can use pex pipe. Thanks. On of your biggest fans. Paul
