Hi everyone. I’m wondering if this is normal for Uponor clear PEX. This is two year old pipe in a two year old house. There’s obvious yellow spots on this cold water line that’s under a sink and doesn’t get any U.V. The lines in the attic are also yellow instead of white after only two years...

Hi all, I’m looking for Wirsbo or Uponor PEX from the early 2000s. Ideally unused. I’ll gladly buy it off of you if you’re willing to part with it. If you have something that I might be interested in, please post the date code or “UB” code so I can verify how old it is. Thank you all so much...

I am trying to piece together the behavior of my six-zone Navien CH240 hyrdonic system. Heat is radiant floor pex tubing under concrete. Thermostats are Uponor WT 1, one thermostat per zone, wired to a pair of 3-zone Wirsbo zone control modules. I am trying some experiments. Today I have a...

Hi, Should a Navien hydronic heating system turn on and off four to five times an hour? I am living in a place with a Navien CH-240 that drives domestic hot water and an in-floor, six-zone hydronic heating system. The hydronic system uses PEX tubes under a concrete floor. I have only ever had...

Hello- I'm in the middle renovating my house and I have been trying to get my hands on some 1/2" Uponor PEX A (Aqua PEX) but no one seems to have any in stock. I decided to go with PEX A (Uponor in particular) based on all the good reviews, hoping to avoid future issues. I even purchased the...

Hi everyone, Going to move soon from FL to Costa Rica and build an off grid Quonset hut. Looking for expert opinions on my choices of plumbing supplies that I am taking with me for the plumbing system. I am in maintenance now and want a good, least trouble free and long lasting system. Rinnai...

Has anyone else been seeing Uponor PEX pipes forming small cracks and leaking next to the expansion ring fitting? We seem to be removing more and more of these with no apparent pattern other than the location of the water leak and the plumbing system.

I have read in several locations that you cannot connect a tub spout with a diverter to PEX. The explanation that is usually given is that the inside diameter of PEX+fittings is smaller than copper and it will result in water going up and leaking out of the shower head when the diverter is set...

Hello, I'm about to start work on the re-piping for a 1952 ranch built on pier and beam in Central Texas. I'll be using PEX-A pipe and expansion fittings/manifolds. The question regards insulation of the PEX piping. In the code for City of Austin, it mentions that supply 'piping' in an...

Hi All, I'm trying to perform a repair to a hydronic heating system (carpenter put a nail thru a pipe). Pipe is 3/4" Uponor hePEX and has been installed for about 10 years. For the fix, I cut out section of pipe which contained the hole and added new pipe section and two couplers. Now, there...

Hey everybody, My name is Giovanni, new here. I'm hoping somebody can help me out with this PEX angle stop replacement, or confirm that I have to open the wall. I have a customer that has 16 angle stops that he would like replaced. His home was repiped 5 years ago. Very hard water in...

I'm looking to replumb the old house and really like the Manabloc but I also really like the Uponor connects. Now I know the two are directly incompatable but could you run your manabloc, branch out with your PEX B a length of your desire then transition with a connector to PEX A so that the...

Does anyone have recommendations on the best way to connect PEX-B (uses copper rings) to Uponor PEX-A (expansion fittings)? The house I’m in has the main line using Pex-B and copper ring fittings. I’m splicing into it to install a soft water loop. I have the tools and some experience to...

I have a cpl quick questions: First what are the different options to install a shower valve while using ProPEX Uponor. I can go to the supply lines and up to the shower head with 1/2 PEX line, but I cannot go to the tub spout with 1/2, so if I don't want to solder copper, is there any other...

Okay. Sometimes it happens. I got a call from a homeowner in a highrise condo that had a repair done by another company and it was still leaking. No. I wasn't this company, but it could have been someone like this. I love this. A plumbing company that is just Okay. Normally you can cut...
