South Shower Valve
|
|
Here is the other shower valve the one by the door. Some things I learned and comments about PEX. I didn't have ANY connection problems with pex, Its all of these #%$^& threaded connections that gave me fits.
I had originally assembled all of the threaded fittings with Pipe dope instead of tape, I had it handy because I have just finished some gas line work. When I pressure tested this ALL of the threaded connections leaked. (and did not know that pressure balancing valves are just that. I turned off the hot side of the valve at the manifold, forgot about it and then tried to turn it on and nothing would come out. Pressure balancing, no pressure on the hot side = no water out of the cold side either)
I wound up taking every one of these threaded connections apart, cleaning them and using Teflon tape on all of them. The interesting this is that you can unscrew these, spinning the adapter inside of the PEX, reassemble it and the PEX will STILL NOT LEAK !
Also, HIGHLY recommended that you put a capped pipe where the shower head would be and pressure test that at the same time. Don't ask my why I know this :-)
