I have a new bath with PEX coming out of the floor and into the cabinets for the sink supply.
Do I need to have some sort of support for the PEX? Maybe a bracket tying them together?
It seems like after I put the supply stop valve in and connect the supply to the faucet, there will
be a lot of play in the line. All my other baths the original plumber stubbed out to copper.
And the valves are well supported. I know from a connection point of view it will be fine..
I'm just wondering will I have issues later in time when I try to shut them off and they will be stubborn?
Also.. I have a copper stubout to the new toilet. Do they have some sort of chrome sleeve to
go over the copper pipe? I went to blue home center today and I didn't see anything where the rest
of the supply stops and the escutcheons were. Or is that something I need to get at a plumbing supply or online?
And is it really OK to just get a press on valve vs sweating one on (for the copper)?
Great Forum Btw!! The discussions here lead me to get a Toto vs a AS toilet!
