I am in the process of getting my hot water tank replaced. I going to pro-actively replace some of the polybutylene piping behind the water tank because it is easily accessible while the tank is out of the way. I noticed on the polybutylene that there are copper connectors. Would it be prudent to replace the PB to a spot where there is an existing copper connector so that the PB-to-PB is replaced with a PEX-to-PB connections? Or should I replace as much PB that is easily accessible (ie: without taking down drywall) to reduce the number of 90 degree connectors to increase the flow of water? I assume that PEX is more flexible than PB.
Thanks.
Thanks.
