Hello all, i'm somewhat new to plumbing but purchased my house a year ago and am getting a crash course. i need redid my kitchen so i'm redoing all of my under sink shutoffs and T's. Also i have a slop sink and 1/2 bath that have all stuck shutoffs or leaky compression fittings from hard water and time. all of my joints are blue with oxidization.
My question is, since my basement ceiling is gutted from running wires, pin holes in copper pipes at 2 places. Should i just redo the whole thing in PEX? it's not that much more than i'm already fixing just the straight runs to it. My whole house is 1/2" 20yr old copper.
if so, what 'type' of pex should i use for the straight runs? i'm a regular on pexsupply.com
