We are remodeling our bathroom and need to move the plumbing to the opposite wall. Currently have 1/2" copper lines and planned to use 3/4" ProPEX PEX A for the extension. We are going below the joists and back up, and it will be maybe 9 feet extra for each line to the new shower valve location.
Found what I thought I would need, a "3/4" ProPEX x 1/2" Female Sweat Copper Pipe Adapter" (see link below), but they are $10 each vs $3 for a 1/2" ProPEX x 1/2" Female Sweat copper pipe adapter. Is this a supply constraint or just not something that is done very often thus the price difference?
The shower will have a two body jets, a handheld and rain head and I had planned on plumbing it all with the 3/4 PEX. But would need at least 8 more for the shower valve, diverter and jets. Later on down the line, had also planned on replacing our copper lines to finish our basement and planned to use 3/4" PEX to all the 1/2 copper fixtures but seems crazy that those adapters are that much more expensive.
