You can use the 3/4" or 1" expansion rings instead of hose clamps when repairing garden hoses, and same with air compressor hoses, and drip irrigation lines 👍

I just replaced my waste vent which was the thin copper. For years I would get a small smell of sewer gas but couldn't find a leak. I took the tile and wall off where the vent was and it looked like swiss cheese. I immediately switched it out with schedule 30 PVC pipe. If I could show you pictures I would, it was bad.
Great video👍

Thank you for the great video and explanation! Question … How best to measure PEX A pipe length between two fixed points? How much to subtract from the measurement for the rings? Longer distances have more flexibility but when the distance is short measuring becomes ore important

Great video! I have quick question. Those brass fittings such 90 or T, are those pex A specific fitting or any brass fittings can be used?

Excellent video, however you probably should have bored larger stud holes before passing the Pex pipe through to allow for movement and eliminate any possibility of chaffing failure and noise.

Great video nice clean job keep up the good work...

How long does the M12 expander batteries last typically? How many fittings can you expand for on a single charge?

Good quick video, but pex water line outside the wall ain't legal.

Why didn’t you use pex all the way on each end right back to your main stopcock instead of joining it at the ceiling to copper pipe that could fail after some time.
