PEX pipe

[DickWilson]

Kiko; I have the crimping tools for the Zurn brass rings, which I have used commercially in our building and have not had any failures of crimps that passed the go, no-go guage. This is with lines installed with 1/8" per foot of slack for expansion. I am not familiar with the rehau fittings, at least by that name. I have seen the wirsbo in radiant heat systems, but not in potable residential or commercial systems. What I have found so far is a real reluctance of plumbers to use them in Hawaii. If installed on a slab on grade installation, There could be a problem if the pipe was not isolated from soil treated for termites as PEX is moderatly permiable, BUt other than that I would prefer to use PEX over copper if I can find a licensed plumber to work with. I can get a roll of 3/4"x100' of PEX for $30. here and was planning to ship enought to do our house over with our HHG. Thanx for the response, its nice tofind someone who has something good to say about PEX.I get the impression you are a plumbing professional? Feeel free to E-Mail me at dickwilson836@msn.com.
