I am starting to plan for the slow replacement of the Qest in my boat with PEX as I have plumbing projects. I have a water tank that appears to have a clog either in the outlet pipe or in the tank, that might be a good starter project. One question though. Does it matter which PEX is used with Flair-It for marine applications? I notice that the Flair-It company sells both A and B types, but I don't really know what the difference is on a boat. Thanks for any advice on this.
