Did you remove all the original Polybutylene (PB) / (Qest) pipe and fittings? There is no need to remove it if it works you just need an adapter. 3/8ths PB might look like it fits PEX push or crimp fittings but it will almost certainly leak.
The typical pex pipe comes in 1/2" but 3/8ths is more than big enough. After doing my own repairs throughout the freshwater system I've found one of the best systems for connecting multiple types of tubing. http://mobilehomepartsstore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=CF Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD On Jan 10, 2017 4:23 PM, "Edd Schillay via CnC-List" <[email protected]> wrote: > Listers, > > Seeing a few articles and videos lately about people re-plumbing the fresh > water system on their boats using the PEX red and blue piping and > quick-connect fittings — and the crazy self-punishing jerk in me is > wondering if I should take on the task to replace the 26 year-old plumbing > on the Enterprise and be able to have fresh water/showers again. > > Has anyone done the whole re-plumbing thing?
