So, I'm an old school DIYer. I've received great help here before. I bought a Ryan home a little over a year ago. All of the supply lines are PEX-A. I'm used to copper. What I've done in the past is tie into existing supply and putting in shutoffs so I can work downstream without shutting off the whole house for extended periods. Solder and you're done. It's a 10 minute job. What I findwith the PEX-A is the fittings leak. I've put in these stubs without having the water on for 2 hours. I shut the valves, turn on the water and fittings leak. My better half went to bed angry because we don't have water.
I'm afraid of connecting the rest and still having it water everywhere. How do you guys ensure the fittings don't leak?
