Hi there,
My wife and I recently began the renovation of a newly purchased 1932 home. Our inspector informed us that we had the "old style pex tubing" which runs from the waterheater etc in the basement across the house to the bathroom (about 40 feet away). He did say the copper fittings were a plus though.
I just figured since we're doing so much work under the house anyway (and we have the bath tub out, the toilet out, and the sink out), we might as well upgrade the plumbing.
We'd like to use PEX for the simplicity of it (or, so we're told).
Are there any do's and dont's you can think of? Any good reading online out there? Do we need special equipment or can we just use the connections that screw/couple?
Thanks!
John
