Best type of plumbing. PEX-A expansion tool. #shorts #youtubeshorts #diy

Check your local code for the water hammer tube. It’s sometimes forbidden because they fill up with water over time and that water is stagnant and bacteria can grow.
Cheers !

Water hammer tubes like that are outdated. They fill with water in a week or two and don't do anything but trap stagnant water.

"Hey boy, you better watch that water hammer"

1/2" Aquapex (Uponor Pex-A) should be 5 expansions, and the expander head should be going in straight and evenly into the tube / expansion ring; upon which, the tube will reach the shoulder of the 1/2" expansion head.

The majority of Pex-A leaks are due to people using Pex-B fittings, or no-name knock-off china Pex-A fittings.
Improper tool usage, or using a tool without a rotating expansion head, would be the cause for the rest of the leaks.

Also, the Blue and Red Aquapex has manufacturing issues and should be avoided.

The clear/white Aquapex has had no issues.

Air hammers should be made with a sliding divider to hold air, keep water from getting stagnant.

gotta love Uponor.. been using it for over a decade and it never dissapoints.

[themisfitter]

compared to the other available types of PEX, Uponor is the best. Here is why: the Inner Diameter of the pipe with fittings is 1/2", not 3/8". The other types chokes the water down at each fitting.

I just installed a new shower, all soldered copper. No special tools required, and proven method.

Would you be interested in 7 clicks for 1/2”?

[AvengingFade]

OMG that is X rated! This shouldn’t be available for just anyone to watch!

[williamsanders]

I have pex- a running to a spigot in the wall. Its leaking, and I need to fix( obviously). I haven't done plumbing since it was copper being used. How do I fix this without buying all the expensive tools?

[geraldhague]

Here another tip if u do not have a tool like that dip the nylon pipe in very hot water it will soften up

[toddsimpson]

Friend is finishing up recalled PB water replacement. His system had all those plastic tees were breaking upstairs and flooding his flat. Whats your experience.
I prefer brass fittings here.

[johnpeters]

Check water pressure? Xould you use a 90?

[saywhat]

Seems like a slower process than crimping rings, to be honest. Definitely prefer my Milwaukee propress/ with copper & pex heads

[Toasthero]

I have used Uponor for several years and its the standard where i live. But i switched over to Sanipex and its the Rolls Royce of pex systems. You get the security of Uponor and the conveniance of a compression fitting. Super easy to install and service. Pluss you dont need batteries and no noise🦾

[mikeevans]

I heard there’s a problem with these kinds of fasteners on uponor plumbing that they crack and leak. Has this been resolved as I like this better than the clamping o rings?

[rieleyduysen]

finally a video of someone using good pex. too many people crimping

[victorthecarguy]

The short dead leg tubes are for water hammer? They should be 2 ft long to get more cushion.

[MGAFFY]

Do you still have to use the copper crush ring with this style or how does this work?
