Plumbing woes
Pex tubing is uded in most new RV's. It is plastic and can be used for
both hot and cold. The tubing has a memory. In the Rv factories they
have a special mandrel that stretches the tubing and then it is slipped
onto the fittings and a plastic crimp sleeve is installed. The tubing
is always trying to return to it"s original size and thus you get a
good seal. For those of us without the fancy tools there are a number
of ways that Pex can be utilized. Some home supply stores will rent the
crimper. Or you can get special compression fittings for the Pex.
Ernie: Which method and brand did you use?
