I have heard that WIRSBO PEX will not break
or crack even when frozen.......
it will supposidely swell up to about three times its size
but will thaw out without breaking
is this true???
the reason I am asking is I got a builder that
decided not to heat a crawl space after I have installed
the all the Worsbo water lines in the crawl....
originally the funace was to be in the cellar, but then she decided
after the rough was completely done to install the furnace in the attic
(against my protests)
of course they were warned a dozen times about this with their furnace
man as my witness too,
but opted not to run any heat to the crawl space when they had the chance to for only a few hundred dollars more....
I have been paid for the rough ,
thats about all that is good about this job
and its about 10 outside right now....
I cant wait to see what happens....
I have seen the vanguard type of pex freeze and break
but was jsut wondering about any experiences
with the WIRSBO type
