I am a homeowner and recently have had PEX installed in a bathroom renovation. They put a lot of 90° fittings in to work around the joists and up into a shower area. I thought the idea with PEX was to reduce the number of fittings it seemed like there were fittings that could have been avoided. Is it best practice to do 90s to keep things neat or snake things around to keep the runs with l fittings? The plumber said the shower flow valve reduces the pressure anyways so it really didn't matter even if there was a little bit of reduction. Anyone have any thoughts in this area? My photograph shows the work that was done I circled where the elbow joints are and in red I drew where I thought you could have snaked the PEX without so many fittings
