I just finished running a ¾ supply bypass through my attic crawl space due to a slab leak in the buried ¾ copper line.
Everything went OK, but I noticed just a hint of moisture at two ¾ unions (not on the same connector). I waited about 6 hours and the moisture stopped occurring. When I ran my finger along the PLX where it entered the coupling at first I saw a slight streak of water – later my finger stayed dry.
Is this typical? Is this a sign that something’s wrong and I need to re-do it?
I’m very happy with the ease of installing PLX to copper and to itself, and the unions are so simple! It sure beats lying on your side, holding a heat shield, a torch, a light etc. in a 115+ degree attic! Nice stuff, but I’m just a little nervous about the damp joint that dried up on its own – Any comments?
(By the by – a big THANK YOU for your blog – I never would have considered the stuff until y’all turned me on to it)
