Pecks plumbing - Posted by LeonNC

Anyone have any comments good or bad about pecks plumbing? It seems plumbers like the pecks probably because it’s easy to install. What are your preferences for replacing plumbing?
Thanks

Leon,
The spelling is PEX. It is a cross-linked molecular plastic. I have plumbed 2 house with it. The nice thing about it is it has a total memory to its original form so if it freezes or overheats it will always go back to its original size/form. It is also very quick and easy to install so you should save around a third on the labor. Material will be about the same to 10% higher than copper. Also if you have someone install this system make sure they use brass fittings, not the plastic. The fittings are always the failing part of this system, not the tubing itself. Hope I helped. DanT

Pecks (not sure of the spelling) is a type of piping used in plumbing. Maybe you haven’t heard of it.

I still own at least one property with an outhouse. It is more fashionable to call that a composting toilet, and no it does not qualify for FHA financing. Now a peck as I know it is eight quarts. So a peck would not be adequate at all. Far too small.
When we put the plumbing inside the house I will, however; take a look at Pecks.
