I told you it’s not that hard. You are now a certified PEX installer. I will be contacting you as a subcontractor for my future plumbing needs. I should be able to let you borrow the “tool box” after this evening. Will be down at my shop on Sunday if you want to stop and grab them. Thanks. ![http://www.coreygonzalez.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/you-can-do-it.jpg](http://www.coreygonzalez.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/you-can-do-it.jpg) ---

Well I replaced the small section of galvanized that was leaking with pex today. Cut through that shit, and wrenched it out. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/Thorguitarist/2013-04-14141839_zpsdf8cd34f.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/Thorguitarist/2013-04-14141839_zpsdf8cd34f.jpg) Hmm wonder why water pressure isn’t that great…Held it up to the light and could barely see any sort of line shining through it. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/Thorguitarist/2013-04-14143831_zps5dfa4d4a.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/Thorguitarist/2013-04-14143831_zps5dfa4d4a.jpg) Patch job pretty much complete for now. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/Thorguitarist/2013-04-14165528_zpsc08d138b.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/Thorguitarist/2013-04-14165528_zpsc08d138b.jpg) Gotta pick up more fittings and finish at least up to my sink which is about another 2-3’ of pex and some fittings. I might just buy the damn crimper. ---

Went ahead and bought the tools yesterday and replaced the rest of the lines up to the sink. No leaks, took a lot less time than working with pvc, or copper. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/sharkbite-plumbing-systems/229864.md?page=1)
