Hello experts!
I live in NC where it is not uncommon to have consecutive days of sustained temperatures below freezing. I have two questions about that:
Question 1) The PEX tubing inside my crawl space is not insulated. So what keeps it from freezing? I've never had a problem with that.
Question 2) If I tap in an irrigation line where the main PEX line comes into the crawl space from the street, am I going to have a problem with a freeze break in the line or a fitting somewhere between the center leg of the tee and the front half of the cutoff valve? If so, is simply wrapping those fittings with a piece of insulation enough to prevent that?
Thanks!
