Default Soldering copper pipe connected to PEX

Well, (1) it took 30 years for the copper tubes in my concrete slab to rot
out. (2) Will AquaPex be around in 25.1 years? (3) will they have
assets so you can sue?


Pex is probably the best for that application. You won't have to be doing it
over in 30 years. Who did you sue for your copper replacement? Were they
willing to pay? Why would you replace copper with copper knowing it will
corrode again in 30 years, maybe less?



And, check national, state and local building codes to see if PEX is
permitted for fresh water. If you're doing heating lines, you will also
want to do fresh water at the same time.


Yes, it is permitted.
