    The failure of the PB pipe systems is due to the failure of the polyacetal fittings. Unfortunately, the money for the class action lawsuits has been used up (after the lawyers took their 40% there was still over 2 Billion). What is odd, more than 50% of the polymer nuts and inserts in plumbing systems are the same polyacetal. Thing is, the "class action" got it wrong and blamed PB when it was really acetal that was failing. But nobody has thought to sue the attorneys who screwed it up, and made off with $1.2B.

    I am still a retained expert on 2 class actions on the stuff.

    I agree. Thats why I also have the cheaper $26 one you use with vice grips for a tight spot.

    Pex is a bitch in any tight spot really. Great for construction but service is another story. I've had to cut it back and go to copper before.

    But PEX in a homerun system is my favorite of every system that is in use. Branched PEX systems are certainly cheaper and easier to install, but give me homerun everytime!

    Another happy shark bite customer. Had my outside line crack at one of the valves. Shark bite installed in under 10 minutes with the new valve and no leaks at all even with the sprinklers pressure
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.
