Comment on Brazing Copper Plumbing Pipe?
PEX
Genuinely one of the best developments in construction of the past few decades and people (stupidly) turn their nose up at it because “i want the metal pipes (that are worse in every measurable way)”
Copper won’t be chewed by rodents that unexpectedly gain access to the attic or crawl space, and it doesn’t degrade in sunlight.
I just looked it up, there are videos with rodent-chewed pex, I had no idea it’s possible.
Copper pipes don’t leach microplastics into my drinking water, are 100% recyclable, and are more durable.
