Have you thought about reading the thread before responding?

PEX is for people who are too lazy to do REAL Plumbing. It's about the
same as running a garden hose to your sink, toilet, or whatever else. It
may seem durable and strong, but for how long? It's plastic, and like
all plastics, it has a limited life span. Some day in the future you'll
come home and find your house flooded because this plastic crap broke.

REAL PLUMBING is made from metal, and is a PIPE, not a HOSE!

But we live in a day and age when people worship plastics and dont want
to do any REAL work, or pay for REAL plumbing.

Pex is fine for a temporary means to get water from point A to point B,
but it's NOT a permanent plumbing. I might consider it for an outdoor
sprinkler system. but not for "piping" in my home.

As far as the original topic of this thread, I recall reading somewhere
in this (long) thread that there was stress on these copper pipes due to
poor alignment of the pipes. That likely was part, or all of the cause
this short piece of pipe failed. The ideal solution would be to install
one of those flexible copper (or stainless steel) pipes made for water
heaters. That way there's no stress on the pipes.

And most of them are just a stainless braid over plastic..A piece of
annealed copper does the jog just fine.

The ones I'm referring to are solid copper, with spiral ribs, so it can
be bent any way you like. Unless they are no longer sold, they were
readily available, but it's been years since I needed any such thing. I
would not plastic with a braid over it either. I avoid all plastics when
it comes to plumbing. I saw what happened to a neighbor when their
plastic supply tube broke under their toilet, and the elderly woman was
asleep. Many thousands of dollars damage, including flooring, all
carpet, and so on. She was knocking on my door early in the morning, in
tears. I quickly went there and shut her water off. She wanted me to fix
it, but I told her she needed to have her insurance company come first,
and told her I could fix it, but since I'm not a licensed plumber, she
needed to get someone with a license, to satisfy the insurance company.

The following day, I replaced 4 of these plastic supply lines under my
own sinks, with chrome-brass ones. Plastic is fine for toys and picture
frames, auto dashboards, molding, and anything that is not supporting
weight or pressure. It is NOT for plumbing, and also NOT for lawn chairs
(I've seen several people hurt on collapsing plastic lawn chairs).
I will make an exception to this, as far as PVC drain pipes, but those
are not under pressure, and work fine. Drainage is the only time I use
plastics in plumbing.

I had one of those put in when the house was built. It sprang a leak in
a bad spot so I replaced it with another. Two years later, it leaked
again. Out it went and I replaced it with PEX and it has been good for
15 years now.

I've seen those copper spiral tubes last many years. But like anything,
there are defective items made, and maybe the manufacturer was making
all bad parts. I've never used them myself. I prefer to connect the tank
direct with copper pipe because it's cheaper, and I think it looks
better. I did see a house where all the plumbing froze, and the ends of
both of those spiral tubes separated from the tubes. But none of that
stuff is made for freezing, and I'd think all those ribs would cause
excessive pressure on the pipe, because the ice would be applying a lot
of pressure against every rib.

I would not normally recommend them, because they are really not needed,
and they are costly. But in this thread, it was mentioned that the pipes
were not properly aligned and I thought that would be an easy way to
correct it, rather than redoing more pipes.

For all I know, they may not even sell them anymore. Plumbing stuff
changes all the time. Even the old brass spiral gas pipes have now
changed (for behind a gas stove). Those were always the same for years,
but when I was young, I always feared having one break, when I moved the
stove for cleaning behind it. But I guess they were stronger than they
looked. Someone always comes up with something they consider better.
Sometimes it is better, but often it's just a way to make stuff cheaper
so the company can make more money.

By the way, PEX is not supposed to be connected directly to a water
heater. When I was considering using PEX, I did a lot of checking on
this, from actual plumbers. It's suggested to put at least 6" of pipe
before it. Some plumbers said more, and if it's a gas WH, it's not
suppose to be anywhere near the chimney pipe. But if it's lasted you 15
years, it should last another year or two before it gets real brittle
and snaps in half or crumbles, which is how all plastics generally
deteriorate and eventually fail....

And since we're talking about PEX, has anyone ever determined how many
chemicals a person ingests whenever they drink water from a PEX plumbing
system? Just wondering.... Our bodies need some iron or copper, and all
pipes leach at least a little of their material. This is the same reason
I dont buy bottled water and buy all my soda, beer and other beverages
in cans or glass bottles, not plastic.

In the case of my repair, the ideal solution turned out to be fairly easy.
One extra fitting and a shim. Now I have straight copper (just like you like

A long time ago I needed to cap a pipe, so I decided to try a SharkBite End
Cap just to see what they were like. It worked so well that I said to
myself, "Self, maybe you should toss a couple of End Caps in the plumbing
drawer just in case you need to cap a pipe in an emergency."

So, here it is, 9 PM on a Friday night and I walked down into the basement
to find that the pipe from the water heater has developed a pin hole leak.

So, off with the main, a couple of quick cuts to remove the bad section,
push on 2 caps and back on with the main.

No showers tomorrow morning, but at least we have water tonight. Tomorrow,
I can take my time replacing the bad section.

...and that's why I keep SharkBite End Caps in the shop.

What do you think caused the pinhole leak?

I don't know. The pinhole was on a short (4") section of pipe between
a T and a 90. I cut the pipe exactly at the pin hole, leaving about
1" sticking out the T. (That left me enough room to put the cap on. I'll
need to replace the T and the 90 tomorrow)

Anyway, after I cut the pipe I noticed that the pin hole had begun to
turn into a slit, I assume from the pressure of the cutter. That tells
me the leak was about to get much bigger.

As I said, I cut the pipe exactly at the pin hole and this is what I found
inside the pipe right at the cut. (Ignore the outside of the pipe. I had
cleaned the outside before cutting it.)

I can't tell if the "scale" that you see is buildup or what's left behind
from disintegrating copper. It extends down about 1/2" but it is all around
the inside of the pipe at the cut, not just on the side where the hole was.

I have a plumbing supply house that I like, so I may take the piece over
there and have them tell me what's going on. In any case, the rest of that
short piece of pipe will be gone first thing in the morning.

Let us know what they say. I'm curious. I'll be repiping my
galvanized soon with copper. Because I don't have my threading
tools anymore, copper pipe is cheaper, and it might make a difference
in the house's resale value.
The piping is 58 years old. No leaks, but the flow is getting
restricted enough that it's time to do it.

Oh man, that is funny. The start of this thread was about a copper tube
leaking. Yeah, metal pipe is perfect! PEX has been in use for about 60
years now.

Any pipe can develop a leak, and the copper was a pin hole, not a
gushing fully broken pipe. If a PEX connector comes apart, it will
result in a flood, not a small puddle.

PEX may have been developed 60 years ago, but it was not allowed in
America until recently, and is still not allowed by code in some parts
of the country, and for GOOD REASON! I dont know if it's allowed in my
part of the country, and I really dont care, but if I had any say in
local codes, I would vote against it. (But I dont have any say).
No matter how you look at it, it's a HOSE, not REAL PLUMBING!

I do know it will never be used in any home I live in!

If they spotted you they wouldn't let you in your part of the country.

If the mitral valve acts like a drain, then PC should be okay with that.

I found a better way to do it before you offered your solution. In fact,
it was in the very same post in which you read that the pipes were not
