30 years experience

I'm a plumber with 30 years experience in commercial and residential Plumbing. I have dealt with copper CPVC PEX uponor and galvanized and dealing with each one of these PEX and uponor are in my opinion the two easiest to deal with no matter if they come on rolls or not. Copper in itself is disgusting when you take it out of a home oxidized with green on the inside because everyone knows water and metal don't mix unless you're dealing with stainless steel or brass. CPVC should be outlawed because it becomes brittle overtime and will split and break like glass. It is a very dangerous water pipe about like polybutylene. This is my experience with PEX I have yet to be called back because of a crimp ring or bad fitting now I am meticulous and very OCD with everything I do. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone but please seek out a professional to install this product and show you how it works. PEX and uponor which is a form of PEX is 100% the way to go. No glue no solder joints which is better for you and your body. Have a great day everyone

Not what I expected

This being my first PEX job but with 30 years of construction experience. I have built 2 houses completely by myself for myself. These rolls come and the shape is left to fight. You can't even get a accurate measurement when every pipe keeps the roll shape. I have 3 ft drill bits to get me through anything. You can't get curved pipe through straight drilled holes. what this kit cost plus all other fitting I need. The only parts of PEX I didn't fight was the scrap pieces. If you need 6 ft to do a 4 ft section cuz you can't get the bend out, what is the point. For the experienced do it yourselfers do your homework. I thought I did. If the point is that PEX won't freeze and break. Cpvc has never failed me or copper. Insulated pipes don't freeze. What good is a frozen water line that won't break if I can't get water ?

Good Stuff!

I replumbed my house with pex using this kit. My water pressure is better. My lines are more managable and I took out $500 in copper. What's more... no leeks. I am happy.

Fantastic!!!

This was the easiest product I have used in a very long time. I was skeptical if the connections would hold under the water pressure. Everything worked perfect. I used the starter kit for our summer vacation home. Most of the new water lines are outside. After replacing all the cracked lines, we probably saved hundreds of dollars we would have normally spent on a plumber(time is money). We were done quickly and no messy cleanup. We have more than enough for many more repair projects in the future. I highly recommend this product.

Good product to get started with PEX

This was my first experience with PEX and the kit supplied everything I needed. When combined with the manabloc manifold, this system makes plumbing a breeze for the DIYer.

Great Starter Kit

I moved into a House that was built completely using PEX, Being use to PVC I realized if something leaked I wouldn't be able to fix it. After researching PEX I found PEX Supply and this kit, This Kit gives you everything you need to handle most PEX jobs minus valves, tees etc.. But what you get is a well thought out kit. The Crimping Tool is a Pretty Good tool that allows tension adjustment and easily change out of jaws. I just used this to install a Water Softener and Whole House water Filter, The Install went Flawless and the only leaks I had, weren't with the PEX but instead with the cheap plastic fittings that came with the softener/filter. Never using PEX before in my life, I was surprised at having no leaks on the PEX. I'd highly recommend this kit for any homeowner with a PEX home and a Great starter kit to the beginning PEX plumber.

Very Complete Kit

Great starter kit with enough of what you need to see how the system works. The support video on the Pex website explains how to use everything.

Q: When and why would we use the crimping tool?

There are several varieties of PEX fittings. These include crimp, clamp, press, expansion, compression, and push-fit. You would use the crimping tool if you need to make a PEX fitting connection and you opt to use the crimp method.

Q: 1)What is the purpose of the gauge tool? Is it to measure the roundness of the pex prior to crimping? 2) You mentioned barrier oxygen px for heating system to prevent rusting in the system. Rusting in what system? On the medal basboard itself?

A go-no-go gauge is used on crimp rings after a fitting has been made. If a ring does not fit into the gauge at all, or goes all the way through to the bottom, the fitting was made incorrectly. This is demonstrated in our PEX crimping video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnZorlmOOf8 ). The rusting you mention would occur on any ferrous metal that the water touches throughout the heating system. The outer baseboard covers and inner copper elements would be unaffected. It is mainly an issue for cast iron circulator pumps and boilers.

- Mr know all

The gauge tool measures the outside diameter of the finish crimped connection. Too big? Crimp more so it grips the pex tubing. 2) oxygen getting inside the lines will corrode the inside of and cast iron or galvanized pipe or circulation pumps which are typically cast iron housing. The metal in most hydronic baseboards are copper with aluminum heat sink fins.. Of which neither oxygen effects much at all, or takes very long time. Mind you, this is happening on the inside of the components.

Q: can i use the included 3/4 tubing in the package with baseboard heating....otherwise,is it oxygen barrier tubing?

You can use 3/4" PEX in a baseboard system, but you should use PEX with an oxygen barrier to prevent rusting in the system. This package includes non-oxygen barrier tubing.

Q: will pex withstand freezing while in use

PEX, since it is able to expand, is more freeze-resistant than copper. Still, PEX is not freeze-proof. It can burst if water freezes.
