The hardware man said heat is used to slide PEX onto these fittings.
Rather than explain it, he gave me a piece of polybutylene.
He told you wrong. Heat is never used.
He has been in the business all his life. He keeps his tools hanging at
the store because he has several houses and never knows when a tenant
may have a plumbing emergency. He knows plumbers but it's been so long
since he needed one, that he doesn't know what they charge these days.
People can buy plumbing supplies cheaper at big stores, but he does a
thriving business because he'll give them advice they can count on.
I'll take his word over yours.
Then you would a bigger moron than we expected. PEX is not heated for
_any_ connections. Prove me wrong by providing a link saying so. He
told you a story about PEX, lied about it and then gave you a "piece
of polybutylene." They are not the same animals, fool.
Flaming me and philo won't work. Ed is the group moderator. Get him to
me stop from posting. Write your reasons in this space [ ].
You wanted advice, I gave it, and you didn't like the answer -- tough
doo-doo!
I think this is the same maroon as that Burns guy. Sure follows his posting
methods.
