How powerful is that drill??View attachment 544566View attachment 544567
Used that new Milwaukee cordless press for all the connections that didn't require sweating.
Man that thing is worth every penny!

It will drill granite holes or into concrete. If you don't keep a firm grip it'll break your wrist lol.How powerful is that drill??
I draw schematics for all my piping. Copper is a HUGE waste of money.One stray nail and you're gonna wish you used schedule M copper ...
But how reliable are those connections over time versus copper and sweating?I draw schematics for all my piping. Copper is a HUGE waste of money.
Why would someone use nails in a bathroom wall....NM...I keep assuming "Bubba" retired from doing anything.One stray nail and you're gonna wish you used schedule M copper ...
For you of course it is.... you do lots of plumbing. Especially when you can get PEX to do the same job as copper.I draw schematics for all my piping. Copper is a HUGE waste of money.
In the decades I've been using it I've never had a leak. Some of the valves in that pic have have solder adapters sweat on but most now come threaded for pex adapters.But how reliable are those connections over time versus copper and sweating?

I also put temporary shut offs in my showers for a couple days during pressure testing so if something ever was to fail the customer can kill the water to the valves without having to shut off the whole house. Knock on wood, never been used but I'd rather have the insurance as most of my jobs are a long ways from where I actually live
C'mon man. Get a HiltiIt will drill granite holes or into concrete. If you don't keep a firm grip it'll break your wrist lol.
I've owned every brand over the years. Ryobi is TRASH but all the others are pretty comparable so it comes to price and warranty for me. This brand is guaranteed for life.
Thou shalt buildethe thy house upon a rock(mixed properly with sand,Portland cement and rebar. It is writtenIs that on a second floor or does the house have a wood foundation?
Actually PEX is pretty tough stuff...it will resist a knife just as well as any copper pipe will because of its ability to flex. It's also resistant to freezing temperatures much more so than copper ever dreamed about.I guess I've been a rental manager for too long ... the things tenants do to the units ... the more robust the build, the less intentional damage can be inflicted ... just a kitchen knife and say bye-bye to your PEX installation ... good quality copper or galvy needs a good sawing on to ruin't ...
... one stray nail ...

Loan me the moneyC'mon man. Get a Hilti
You don't use the colored PEX for your hot and cold water...that threw me off for a minute.
Rain head, shower head, wand on a vertical pole. May add a body spray but not sure yet.You don't use the colored PEX for your hot and cold water...that threw me off for a minute.
But can you explain the various stubs? There appears to be a couple of extras there that I'm not sure what they are...I see the shower head and the drop for the wand but then there's the extra drops besides the mixing valve.
