I've got to replumb some copper lines due to pinhole leaks (cause undetermined). PEX seems Ideal, but what do I use for Stub outs to the fixtures? The all PEX stub out arrangements look like they involve big brackets nailed between studs and a lot of sheetrock work. The copper stub outs with a flange look like they require a lot less sheetrock repair, but that puts copper tube back in the system where it just failed. I don't see any other alternatives. Does anybody make a brass stubout? or maybe stainless?
