Hey - PEX newbie so forgive the dumb questions.
Existing tub has 1/2 copper teed off a main 3/4 copper supply line.
Thinking I will use Sharkbite 1/2 - 3/4 elbow to go from a 1/2 copper to 3/4 PEX (too chickenS=-t to learn solder for this one job)
Think the ID of the 3/4 PEX more similar to the 1/2 copper - trusting that the smaller ID of the Sharkbite fitting won't cause any issues.
Does that sound like the right approach?
And does it make any difference to performance whether I use a fitting vs simply bend the pipe (with appropriate bracket) for the 90 when it comes up through the sub floor?
Thanks in advance
Chris
