Default Basement reno... replace old water supply line

Gary wrote:
Is there any disadvantage to using the soft copper tube vs solid? This
is for a supply line (it does have a regulator on it set on max
allowed).. As for grounding we are redoing the electrical (knob +
tube, whole other issue) so a new ground is already planned.

This PEX stuff sounds interesting but I guess its pretty new. Is it
worth getting a pro out to put it in? (On a big budget)

Thanks
Gary


The soft copper is plenty strong. Type L is heavy wall .

Call around and see if any pros will install PEX.
This job may be too small to bother with and could
hold up the project.
