I was going to say "kinky", but "educational" is a better term for this video. Thanks!

Of the videos I have seen on pex, I never knew there was more than one type. Thanks for the information. Pretty cool how it turns clear when heated 👍.

Great to know it can be repaired. Glad to see you back

[timothycreasy]

I find your videos to be a great learning platform also

Very good info - I didn't know this and it will help in the future.

Looking at the video, I was like "he is burning it up!!!", but then it turned out it was just transparent against your T-shirt :) Looks like magic to me :)

Question: Would the repair on the Pex A pipe become just a strong as it was previously when it was new or....?

[geyser]

I want to add a wall switch for my 240 volt electric hot water heater. Any chance you could make a video on this?

[mikechiodetti]

Very good info to have on hand! Is the PEX B the blue colored pipe?

[johnlebzelter]

Will that create a weak spot in the pipe then?

[sjrmike]

Would marking that area be a good idea

[plastique]

I misread the title as "Kinky Sex with a Pipe"


I'll just be on my way...

[folerx]

i make this kink on pehd pipe. will this work on it?

[lacombar]

How is the kinked area gonna behave (I'm thinking micro-fracture/stress) after 25 years holding ~50psi ?

When I went to school on this pipe when it first came out, they tied it in a knot and creased it. Heat gun made it look like new. Think a molecular tic tac toe grid....that's how it's matrix-ed.
