PEX tubing

[Jeremy Dolan]

Everyone that I have spoken too recently in terms of plumbing has been praising this stuff so I did some research and found a lot of faulty material. What are some personnel opinions on the topic?

Personally, I love this stuff, but do yourself a favor and get the tool for the connectors and don't use the push on type. The tool is only about $100. And in my area, this makes the connectors cheaper and higher quality. I wouldn't want to have a push on connector on a water line o have pressure on. If doing an entire house, you'll easily save the cost of the crimp on tool by not having to buy the more expensive/cheaper made fittings.
