Hi ,
I know that everyone has their own special preferences here , so let's not start a war ,please !
I have to do some plumbing in the next few weekends with PVC or Pex as well as with copper . Which is better , PVC or PEX ? Debateing on wheather or not I should use PVC or PEX to replumb a bathroom sink . Looks like I'll have to use PEX as I can't get the wall open enough and will have to feed it through the wall and PEX has a little more flexability . Should I use the sharkbite fittings or the cheaper ones ? Which is better - PVC or PEX , shark bite fittings or the cheaper ones ? Any tricks to using this stuff or crimping that I should know before hand to do it right the first time with no leaks ?
Also , I have a Copper T connecter leaking after no telling how many years ! I was told that there was two types of copper lines - soft and hard and one will swell up and not fit connectors that I might buy in advance ! Is this true ? I know the basics of soldering copper pipes , saw it on tv and in real life , but never done it on my own ! Any tricks of the trade in order to do this right the first time ? They told me to clean off line around leak and try resoldering it first using MAP gas as it is hotter and it might reseal that way before I cut lines . Small leak .
Both lines or 1/2 inch at least or next size down .
Also , how hard is it to connect PVC or copper to PEX and splice in new work with PEX to old work wheather it be PVC or PEX ? What about to galvanized pipe ? It's an old farm house in the country .

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: How to Remove a Broken Bolt - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
