Planning to install a new water softener in my house along with a auto shut off valve. I have drawn out a diagram of how I think it will be installed. I also realized I am missing some adapters after I drew it out but you get the idea.
First image is where it will be installed. I am planning to turn off the water cut where I indicated on the image and then rotate the main valve and regular 90deg. I have never worked with Pex before but my understanding is it will rotate without leaking or coming loose. Is this true?
The 2nd image is the diagram I drew out. I am hoping I can get some feed back on it. Am I missing anything? The line coming in is 1.25" and will downstep it to 1.0" and then back to 1.25"
I am planning to use pex-a piping and fittings. I am also planning to purchase a tool like this one but I cant seem to find a 1.25" head for it. The only 1.25" head I can find is for the power tools and I dont really want to spring for that as im not a full time plumber. The two pressure gauge's are just there because "why not".
my plan is to plumb every thing up and once all is good cut the main line, rotate it and marry everything together.
Looking for some pro tips. Make sure I am not missing a bypass valve somewhere, stuff like that
