We stub out of the wall with pex when we plumb with it. I wish we could use copper stubs to make it more solid. Framers, electricians, heat guys, sheetrockers, etc. kick the crap out of our lines then they end up looking like an idiot put in the water lines coming out of the wall on a 45. I hate doing it this way, plus it looks like poo on the outside of the wall. :furious:
what's with all the PVC drainage? Hasn't anyone heard of ABS? Or is it mandatory in the States to use PVC? Code states that at any fixture, 120 degree water is max, except say for a dishwasher.
PVC is not required to handle those temps.
So what angle stops is everyone using for Pex?? Back when I worked track homes we used the standard compression type with the stainless steel sleeve insert. I cant find those sleeves at the supply house though...
The ones I bought were $9 and some change....theres gotta be something more reasonably priced...Its Wirsbo/Pex BTW.
