I was planning to use Zurn PEX (because of the convenience of having it available at the big box stores) and, of course, have been concerned and reading about their failing brass connectors.
However, all the failures I found on the web were brass Ts, brass elbows and brass female threaded adaptors. Has anyone seen or know of failing Zurn sweat copper to PEX adaptors ?
The home run system I have in mind does not require any Ts, Elbows or female threaded to PEX connectors. I will however be using quite a few sweat to PEX brass adaptors and have already used 2 male threaded to PEX adaptors, so I would like to know if those had been/still are problematic.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
P.S. I have to use one 90 elbow for may main line, but plan to make that one myself using a 90 copper elbow and sweat two PEX adaptors to it.
