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.

How would you feel if one morning you discovered that you had CONSUMED one
of the "empty" bottles that had been storing your pee?

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.
