those CPVC gate valves are garbage. and i gotta say, thats the main thing that stood out to me in that picture. the rest kinda is what it is. 😂
my overhead re-pipe project
A few years back I warned a landlord about the water lines in his 1955 slab rental but he would not listen,,,
and he said he would cross that bridge when it came along....
so last month a cpvc mystery leak in one of the walls that could not be found took out all laminate the floors throughout
the whole home and he had to move a renter into another home..... he even had a leak dectection company come out
and they could not locate the problem buried deep behind the laundry wall
this is the repair mess I had to use sharkbites to rig up about 3 years ago , now its all getting ripped out back to the
copper line at the concrete floor... gonna do it all in aquapex
more pictures will be forthcomming.

Re-pipes can be a challenge sometimes.
Yes they can be a challenge and normally they are never very pretty
when completed...... this place is basically a dump in the first place
That PVC drain line has been run all the way around the room to the
opposite wall where they moved the vanity probably 30 years ago..
its all hacked up
Actually the job has come along pretty well, much better than I expected..
I got there today at 1pm and was able to clean it up a lot
now the hot and cold water lines are going through the bathroom wall behind the toilet
over to the mechanical room gonna get boxed in behind the toilet
its about as good as I can make it for an afternoon of fun..
I should be able to do the water heater and run pex lines overhead
to the laundry and kitchen on Monday.... we got the holes drilled at the ceiling
and someone else is gonna make a bulkhead to cover them up later....
yes, I did save some of the sharkbite parts going to the hose bib...
