Re: [a/s] Refurbishing 1976 AS-Plumbing followup



The existing copper tubing had either expanded from freeze damage or it was not the same size that is available today and I Could not get compression or sweat fitting that would work to make some repairs. After several days of talking to plumbing supply stores and feedback from the list I decided to go with the Pex. As I had mentioned there were several previous splices in the existing copper with rubber hose so this same problem had come in the past. Al least now I have a complete system that can be repaired easily if needed. Believe me this was not the project I wanted to start with on my refurbishing project, but once I got started with the Pex things went very well. Its great to work with.
