I had to tear out a bathroom floor today in a pre-fab home to get at a leaky pipe. It was a crimped-on Pex tee that had snapped off in one place. I bought a compression tee, but it blew out after only a minute. I knew it would. The hose connector part of the tee fit too loosely in the Pex, so even if you screwed it in tight, it would blow out. What a piece of crap!
I heard the crimp-on tool is expensive, so I told the owner to call a plumber. There's also a couple of other pex pipes that have a bad looking kink in them. Is that normal or just a bad install?
