differences between the pexes
Terry , if you dont mind, would you please explain to me
the difference between the pexes ...
the birds and the bees of pex for my general education.
I know that wirsbo is the shrink to fit type and have
used it occasionally with no major problems
It seems pretty good and is really a life saveer in situations
where the crawl space in unheated with very long runs across
nasty unheated areas....but it does look sloppy.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Now what the hell does this guy have in his house???
According to Lowes and I have seen the same stuff in
their supply houses this is considerd to be pex too......
basically it looks to me to be just a glorified crimping
system that was used 20 years ago by Quest pipe......
is the pipe supposed to be a pex spin-off???
Or is Wirsbo a better more advanced pex design??
------------------------------------------------------------------
Also there is a red and blue type used in this area
going into a Manablock system that I thought was
considered to be PEX too.....
please correct me here if I am wrong...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now their is also another type of PEX I have seen that
comes in a orange---brown colored roll that is used in
manablock systems that is also considered PEX..
My brother -in law got talked into doing a house out of something
that is considered to be PEX with an aluminum core to it....
its dog shit...I am pretty sure of that. crimping rings and all
but our salesman talked him into it
....but I believe its also called PEX too....
I think I have seen it on your site before..
what it is called escapes me right now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It sounds to me if you can roll off some plastic pipe and figure
out your own design of crimping systems you can call it PEX
or better than PEX...
in 5 years or less its simply going to be a nightmare for any or all
service plumbers when they stumble into god knows what on a
job.
