Update: Went back in the attic and resealed all the vent housings. No more condensation in the closet. Also noticed that the exhaust fan in the one bathroom with the most condensation, had no sealing whatsoever and the metal duct hose was held together with black duct tape. Fixed that...

Must have missed them thanks. Waiting on the valves and a few other things to come in. Hopefully knocking this out soon. I do need to find the 1/2 copper to 3/4 pex fittings. Are those brass ones as tricky to sweat as people say?

Bought a couple of those, didnt see any T's. But it's fine, they actually came in today and the difference in the opening is minimal

3/4 t that reduce to 1/2. Got boshart, but the poly ones.

Specifically looking at the trinsic 3 setting models

Went with the multichoice valves with integrated diverter. I'm having a hard time choosing the trim though. most say you can control the temp and flow, but some have 2 handles, and some have only one. Is the 2 handle what I'm looking for, to have true control?

I couldn't find all the fittings i need in the Boshart stainless but got all the 1/2 in stuff. Thanks

so slowing the fan is a viable option?

that is what the guy who installed the new unit is telling me. Says an option is to reduce the fan speed so the house takes longer to reach the temp

Im going to look into it thanks. What has me stumped is nothing has changed other than getting a new unit. Different brand but all the same measurements and values my 13 yr old unit had. Never had an issue with condensation or high humidity. Right now indoor temp is 72. Humidity is 65%

Yes grill and the ceiling show signs of dirt. I had been in the attic and sealed it best I could a couple weeks ago but that didnt help

Yea im in miami. And its hot as hell here. No duct changes were made. Same size unit i had before. I do feel like this new unit blows alot harder than the old one. I do have a bathroom project going and one of the walls is an outside wall that has insulation but no sheet rock on right now...

Is it better to use the bend support brackets where I can? Or should I use fittings to make 90 degree turns always? Especially when going into the fixtures themselves?

Hello All, I had a new AC unit ( 5 ton) put in a couple months ago (inside and outside unit). About a month in i started noticing condensation from 2 small vents one in a bathroom and one in a closet. None of the other vents trough out the house have this issue. The humidity in the house is...

Where does everyone get their PEX at? Big box store stuff ok?

both of my bathroom had them on the shower valves. Always thought it was just common practice. When i re did my kids bathroom i kept the copper so i left the arrestors. This will be my first time using pex, so ive been overthinking and doing as much research as possible so i don't screw this up lol

What is the consensus here on using hammer arrestors on Pex. im not seeing anything conclusive through my internet searches.

But then again a peice of pipe won't have any either

Im not 100% percent sure but don't think they work with the membrane like a regular drain. There's no weep holes and all that.

Free standing. And yes that was what I was planning to use, but since the tub will be in the shower the guys over there are telling me I can't use that. Because the whole are is considered a wet area. If i had some sort of barrier between the tub and shower area then i could.Doesn't make sense...
