So I went to my water district today and found out that the 5/8 stamped on the meter only refers to the outside nut size used to connect the meter to the supply line. That meter is really a 1/2 inch meter (because of the tail fittings) but supports a 25gpm flow rate. (who knew..) I was...

I definitely see myself ordering some bend supports and holders to keep it against the ceiling joists of my basement. I just ran into a situation though. I want to connect a 1" pex pipe from the 5/8 water main (male) until it gets to the manifold and then branch off from there to 3/4. (all for...

Granted. I'm no stranger to e-to-the-bay and those are some good benefits, namely the inner diameter. If you do kink a pex-b though what are the potential consequences for not splicing the pipe? Also how do I determine the minimum turn radius for a pex-b? Trial and error perhaps? I remember...

Reach4: My meter is 5/8 so in staying relevant to pex having smaller inner diameters I have decided to run 3/4 pex to mainly everything since the inner diameter is slightly larger than 5/8 copper and offers each fixture the most amount of water volume until the last second when the fixture...

JustAHomeOwner: Sounds like I'll stick to 3/4 until the last minute. I also read those documents as well as your previous posts about pex and their fittings and that opened a can of worms with me. I'm very suspicious of compression fittings, even more since cash-acme compression fittings...
