    Pex if ok but it is very difficult to make it clean and straight like good old copper. Pex will last longer for sure. As for shark bits I use them for temp fixes until I can shut done to do the proper fix. The cost of a shark bite fitting does t not make up for the extra time of doing it properly imho. I have been a plumber for 19 years now

    Doesn't matter if you get the straight lengths of pex....they still can't be made to go completely straight. The rolls, forgetaboutit.

    I still hate plumbing. :rofl: :lol:

    HUGE log home. There was a lot of stuff goin' on in that place. Guy ran out of money, so when he quit paying, we never went back.
    No idea if the electrician ever finished.:sherlock:
