A statement about brass fittings:
I've seen the thinness of the brass fittings used in PEX and why they don't make those fittings thicker is beyond me.
Those Mueller ball valves, junk. I won't install them because the socket for the piping is thin brass and give it 3 years and they start to cancer out and leak.
I stick to Nibco and I can't bring myself to buy premier ball valves even though they are cheap. The assembly is always loose.
I went ahead and gave up my last two service calls tonight; too tired and my feet have been cold and wet now for 3 days straight. Time for a much needed break. I start laughing when I get a call to fix a broken water line as I'm beat down. The crazy thing is that when the temperature starts to rise up towards 30 is when a bunch of calls come in.
I turned down a water pump call for a trailer that sits inside of a freezer chest outside the trailer. LOL!!!! Not gonna, don't wanna.
Can I ask a stupid question... why would someone pay to put in that manifold array of ball valves so they could shut off every outlet of their plumbing in the house separately? Were they planning on having LOTS of plumbing problems in the future? Oh and you need to close the valves to the water softener before you turn the water back on.master plumber mark said:here is a new house under construction I had to repair where the copper valves all froze but the wirsbo fitting

valve surviveing this treatment??
OldPete said:I don't know how chlorine can break down brass fittings...
ProPEX fittings are available in both brass and engineered plastic (EP). A revolutionary new plastic, EP is completely non-toxic, resistant to high chlorine levels, withstands extreme temperatures and has a proven history in rigorous plumbing environments.

main advantage of a manifold system as I see it...other than being able to shut off a tub or shower valve without killing all the water is that you will get hot water quicker at the furthest points as it can take a more direct route and can be sized down..........Rancher said:Can I ask a stupid question... why would someone pay to put in that manifold array of ball valves so they could shut off every outlet of their plumbing in the house separately?

This is awkward, but...
