My son broke our bathroom faucet in our mobile home. I purchased a regular style fixture ( and galvanized pipe fittings to make connections between the new fixture and the ½ inch clear PEX-A Tuffpex by Uponor. Seemed to go OK , but when I turned on water , water is now shooting out from somewhere around the plastic elbow. I think possibly some of the glue holing the fitting in the pipe must have broken loose or something?
I have never worked with PEX-A. Can anyone tell me how to stop this leak?
Additionally does anyone know how to install a shut off valve in PEX-A? There were none installed and now that it is leaking I have to shut the water off to the entire house!
Help would be most appreciated!
