PEX Newbie here.
In changing the RO of a heating drop to Pex, I noticed it CAN swivel in it's own fitting.......
Fast forward now. Doing final measurements and prep.
In the 2 pics below, the baseboard will hang on cleats, fixed to the wall
Out of the wall at 6 feet apart, is 3/4 Pex Stubouts.
The pex system I am using is Wirsbo.
With the fact that the Pex can spin in it's own fitting, I'm thinking I want to try this route.
There is some slop in the wall-pex for it to move in and out.
Cut the stub, Fit the Pex Adapter, bushing reducer and then the short nipple. Short nipple/bushing will just stick out of the wall..
This is a 2 person job but the gist would be.
Support baseboard at the RO level. Thread nipple and wrench tight both stubouts to the baseboard.
The Pex will *swivel* within it's own fitting....
Tilt the unit a smigen upward to get it on it's cleats and Viola...
Option B would be to just cleat and hang the unit.....and do similar procedure but open the wall up on both sides for wrenching and such if Plan A does not work out as intended.
For all you Pex guru out there, will this work ?
