Anyone have recommendations on how to block UV light from the PEX
tubing in my basement? All PEX runs are bundled and run just under
the ceiling joists, but I have three large windows that let in quite a
bit of light. I will eventually build a soffit to isolate these
pipes, but want an interim solution since I've read that PEX should
not be exposed for more than 30 days and I won't have time to build
the soffit in the next 30 days. Foil wraps, paint, etc? Any
recommendations for something that'll be quick and easy?


You're over-worrying, but if you must, wrap in aluminum foil and get
some sleep.

The crinkled foil will provide an excellent surface to which spider webs can
cling. That will generate a "How do I get rid of all these spiders?"
discussion 6 months from now. :-)
