Hi all. I had PB (Polybutylene) ran in my friends mobile home, and it looks like we are going to have a DIY job. Is there a certain kind of PEX that needs to be used for outside and under the mobile home...that can handle cold winters and hot summers. I live in Michigan so the seasons are brutal. I just need some help sense I am going to be using PEX for my first time. Should I stick with the clamped copper ring brass fittings? Or should I use the Watts fittings or Sharkbite fittings for the pipe ran outside of the house? I just need to know where to start. The fittings seem easier to use than the clamped....but I am just not sure if they are safe to use outside. I know this is going to be a big job. But the whole pex lines seem to be easier to run than copper pipe...so I'd rather use pex under the mobile home if possible. Inside I know I can just use the red and blue stuff, which is obvious. I heard something about UV protection. Should I get that for inside the house also? I'm sorry I'm just lost. Thanks for your time.
