Going to be plumbing my garage apartment with pex .
Probably buying a cordless expansion tool and using pex A

Who has done it and what advice ya got ?

I’ve done plenty of pvc and some copper and some galvanized and some pex with shark bites in the past for repairs and small jobs .

But not new construction .

pex for the win. If you want to borrow a ratchet crimp tool send a message.

Crawl space and attic water pipe are 2 different animals. One is generally semi heated.

I said 'most'. Code states 'adequate'. Put those together, add in a good plumbing inspector..............

Many copper and poly repairs completed with easy to use and durable PexB. If you need to build a manifold system use copper. Also works excellent for lawn sprinkler applications

Shot of a cracked poly pipe slab repair done earlier this year using PexB run through attic space.
