The Steinkraus plumbing folks (Jeremy) installed a whole bunch of the water feed lines in the house this morning. He is using a PEX piping system that includes plastic feed lines to distribute water throughout the house. The photo below shows the water pipes as they pass through the living room ceiling on their way up to the master bath. The fittings have barbed ends and the hose is clamped using an interesting compression ring. Read about it here…PEX plumbing.
The first photo below shows the main water feeds from the basement to the second floor in the stub wall in the kitchen. The second photo shows the hot and cold water PEX tubing for the master bath terminating at one of the copper manifolds Jeremy built yesterday.
The last photo shows PEX tubing connecting to the copper manifolds that will eventually feed the fixtures in the kids bathroom sinks. Done this way all of the PEX tubing lives behind the walls and the valves are connected using traditional copper fittings.
