3/4 inch PEX A pipe through Cinder Block

[Aaronac8]

I need to pass 3/4 inch PEX A pipe through a cinder block foundation wall, is drilling a 1 1/8 inch hole sufficient? Do I need to use an insulator around the pipe as it goes through the cinder block to prevent damage to the pipe from friction or movement?

I would sleeve it in pvc

I’d sleeve it with 1” pex and drill a 1.25” hole through the wall. The OD of 1” pex is 1 1/8”

I like the idea of this, but the OD of 3/4 inch PEX A is at least 0.875 (possibly more with the compression ring) which would not fit in the 1 inch PEX A (ID of 0.875)

Why would you put a joint inside the sleeve ? The Od of 3/4” pex is 7/8 and the ID of 1” pex is 1”. I do it occasionally and it works great.

Good luck to you
