Getting ready to plumb up some stuff, and was wondering if I should use
PEX.
Tinker-Toy easy to work with, and reasonably priced.

Have you used it? Would you recommend it? How about sanitary-wise? On
some of my stuff, it will be a gravity feed, so pressure is not an issue,
but PEX works at fairly high operating pressure anyway. Can even use it
for
CO2 manifold.

Thoughts, experiences, opinions appreciated.

best thing since sliced bread, use all homeruns off a manifold, cheap
and easy to work with, the copper thieves wouldnt profit from trashing
your home


Too bad that in colder climates where it's exposed to the cold, such as a
seasonal cabin, the PEX gets brittle after a few winters and starts cracking
and splitting randomly, usually behind the most difficult to get at wall.
