I've joined a picture so ya'll can see what I'm talking about. I've inherited a house that was built in the 50s with a few expansions/additions in the late 60s/erly 70s. The plumbing is a mess. Water supply is all copper but is leaking in a few places due mostly to bad installations and butched extensions to the system. I've decided to simply change the whole system to pex with a manifold but there's one fixture that is puzzling me. Theres a large-ish pipe running from the basement to the garage about 200 feets away, the pipe seems to be some kind of rubber and the inner diameter of the pipe seems to be 1 inch (not sure what it is, but it is flexible). It is currently connected to 1/2 inch copper through a green garden hose, then a red garden hose, then some galvanized pipe and then some bigger galvanized pipe which is clamped inside the rubber hose going to the garage. It's not possible for me to replace the line going to the garage so I'm wondering how the hell do I go from pex to this black rubber pipe without the current leaking frankenstein-ish setup!
