What's wrong with PEX ??
Just wondering. Why is the City of San Diego not allowing PEX? I was under
the impression that PEX was the greatest thing since the invention of the wheel. What's wrong with the stuff? "the City of San Diego will halt the acceptance of applications requesting the use of PEX. This policy will become effective immediately for all projects including re-piping projects." http://www.sandiego.gov/development-...pdf/pexltr.pdf Is PEX cheaper to install and thus not acceptable to our labor unions? City Hall recently voted to keep Wal-Mart out of San Diego. Wal-Mart is not unionized. Any other reasons for prohibiting PEX? Any other cities prohibiting PEX? -- Walter www.rationality.net - -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Some company that doesn't make PEX but a legal competitive product paid off a city official or gave him big bucks for his campaign. It probably got voted in because the city officers had no idea what the stuff is. John |

Here's the story: http://www.plumbingengineer.com/june...er_systems.php It looks to me like California rejects the NSF's safety testing and wants to do their own test to certify PEX. Bob |

What's wrong with PEX ??
I lived in a town that would not allow nothing except cast iron for waste
lines.I became good friends with a union plumber and found out that the plumbers' union didn't want to loose that part of their work so cast iron was kept in the local code.

Sex is one of the reasons people strive to achieve high office. My hero, and best example, is short, looks like a frog, has a gravelly voice, not rich, is of the wrong religion, commands no great business or wealth, but dated many beautiful women (Jill St. John, Candice Bergen, Marlo Thomas, Barbara Walters). His famous line: "Power is the only true aphrodisiac" is self-evident. He's NOT from California, either. It is left to the reader to remember his name.

Since profits are a percentage of wholesale price, if you can force a universal jack up of housing costs, builders make boo coo bucks. |

If you guys think this place is crazy now just wait until we have 40 or 50 million |
