This is what my current setup looks like in the basement:
It's a 1996 home which appears to have had the original PB replaced with CPVC, except for this remaining PB at the inlet and some PEX elsewhere for a tankless water heater.
My plan is to remove the valves and CPVC in the picture and use PEX to go to a ball valve, then a pressure valve, then a whole-house filter, then another ball valve, then back to the CPVC.
So, should I leave that vertical piece of PB and just cut off the copper and go directly to PEX with a PB to PEX fitting? Seems like it would be difficult to get rid of that piece of PB.
