OK, but I've never heard of using heat for pex. I just tried to find
some information, but I could not find heat being used on a pex fitting.


I searched, too, and found nothing. The force used in demos of Flair-It
fittings was my first clue that they are different. In one video, the
demonstrator removed the tubing by flexing sharply. It snapped as if
the fixture had broken. Under most conditions, I think a connection like
that would stay tight with no nut.

I guess you can add me to that list. I'm all for the 12 step program.
Yep, two 6 packs is a good start.

That's a terrible habit! Those twelve steps to the bathroom in the dark
can be dangerous. How would you feel if one morning you discovered that
you had peed where you did not intend to pee?

I recommend 5 quarts of ale instead. The bottles make dandy urine
receptacles so you won't have to get out of bed. For accuracy, you may
want to invest in a laser sight. Howard Hughes saved his bottles, but
that would entail the danger of drinking from the wrong bottle in the
future.
