I'm re-doing parts of the 60 year old plumbing in my house, and decided to go with Uponor/Wirsbo Pex A. But after working with it for a while, it seems nearly impossible to install it without making scratches in it. Even the specially made suspension clips made for PEX can make deep scratches if you slide tubing through them at anything other than a perfectly straight angle.
But supposedly scratches, over time, can become leaks.
I know lots of installations and refits are using PEX now, and I suspect many installers aren't being as careful as I am, so maybe the scratches are considered acceptable?
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks.
