I have type L copper in my home and get pinhole leaks that require me to rip out drywall and replace copper once a year or so, needless to say it's a PITA.
So I am replacing with pex. I have the manifold installed and connected up on 1" copper through a whole house filter - now when I run my pex to my fixtures I was intending to sweat a HydroPEX Brass Sweat Adapters onto the existing copper stub under the sink(s) (or replace those stubs with new type M copper and new shut off valves while I am at it)
My questions are :
1. Is this an acceptable approach ?
2. How do I secure the stub to prevent movement
The alternative I have is to take copper via a copper 90 and secure beneath the sub floor to the joist.
Thanks
