    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.

      @@benjaminpauza159 yes but over time, water will slowly work it’s way in. Really anytime there’s water hammer it has potential to push a little air out. Also they’re not really needed here. Most people don’t close they valve fast enough to create much hammer and pex is flexible enough to handle any small amounts that due happen. I bet he learned from an older plumber because this was a pretty standard practice with copper for many years.

    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.

    If your water distribution system is designed for a maximum flow rate of 8ft/sec you don't need water hammer arrestors. Also it's in the name P E X = Poly Ethylene Cross linked, it expands which is what you're doing to it to make a connection but will shrink back to it's original diameter. Take a minute, read the manufacturer specifications and don't make a fool out of yourself.

      If you do it right pex a is the better the the crimp style. I've installed plenty of it with no issues and still doing great with 0 issues. Shark bite on the other hand makes me nervous, more of a temporary fix in my opinion. The only problem I can forsee with any pex is if you live in an area where it freezes and you don't have it insulated well, the bands could possibly swell when it expands and come loose from the fittings as it thaws but again if you do it right no worries

      I install pex all day long and haven’t had a recall in 3 years. It’s flexible so you use less fittings which means there’s less chances of leaks. Also I don’t do it as casually as this video shows. I make sure to hold that connection tightly until I’m certain it has sealed. Shark bites I kind of agree with you there because I’ll never use them on a new install but sometimes they really come in handy for repairs.

      As for the over stretching, I don’t think it hurts other than slowing you down. I had this apprentice who was lazy as hell. After a year he was coming around and turning into a good hand but then left. Anyway, he had to leave early one day. He was on a ladder putting together 1 1/2 pex. I saw that it was the time he had to leave so I reminded him. He got off the ladder and left and I went back to doing what I was doing. He didn’t even finish the connection he was working on. He left the tool expanded and stuck in the pipe. It’s like as soon as I told him, he immediately stopped and left. Anyway over an hour later I walked in there and noticed the tool and pipe hanging. Out of curiosity I thought I’d see if it would go shrink down. It took something like 10 minutes before the fitting would stay in. It was in an easy are to fix it so I marked it so I’d know where to check if the air test failed. It held and you’d have never known that it was done any different than the other fittings

    if you want to reduce water hammer, throw a dual check valve in by the service and install an expansion tank. your method is ancient and does not work. pointless to have even wasted the extra pipe and fittings.

    • @joshcowart2446
      @joshcowart2446 Год назад

      For diy, you can either rent one at a plumbing supply house or get the cinch rings and tool. They sell it at Home Depot and Lowe’s. With it the tool grabs one part of the ring and crimps it so one tool does all sizes. I don’t know about the quality of connection but it’s still in use so it can’t be terrible but I think it’s the best option for diy other than rental

    Those water hammer tubes are the stupidest thing you could have done as an outdated probably no license wannabe plumber, those are outdated and really don’t need those at all anyway some places forbid them, you shouldn’t even be allowed to touch plumbing.

    • @aaronsalvesen4553
      @aaronsalvesen4553 Год назад

      Sealed tighter than a frogs ass when it shrinks back! I saw this being used about 20 yrs ago and couldn’t believe it! After sweating copper while a plumber, it got me to reconsider different methods. Still no leaks on that job!

      It is sealed. The PEX shrinks down, that's why there's the white ring on it. That clamps down on the fitting. Plumber here btw
