I replaced all of the original grey plastic pipe in our boat. With the exception of a section where someone (ahem, looks at self…) ran a screw through it, it was perfectly serviceable, However, since I am replacing the fixtures in the head and the galley and have adde a transom-mounted cockpit s

Re: Stus-List Replacing Water Lines...

The original grey, opaque plastic pipe that was commonplace in the late 70s & early 80s was polybutylene. My understanding is the issue with this material is in residential use it split open causing a flood, in situations where pressures AND temperatures are high (180F). It was taken off the mark

Re: Stus-List Replacing Water Lines...

Shark bite is one popular manufacturer. They are typically metal fittings and considerably higher cost compared to the plastic alternative made by Watts. Both are significantly more expensive than the barbed fittings and crimp. In residential settings one of the significant cost advantages is th

Re: Stus-List Replacing Water Lines...

I've done a couple of plumbing and landscaping projects using PEX tubing. Lowes and probably Home Depot sell a fitting for PEX tubing that uses small teeth where the fitting engages the tubing and requires no special tool. You simply push the fitting into the tube. I've not had any leaks I know of.

David, There was a thread on this about a year ago, and a couple of list members recommended Flair-It connectors for PEX. No special tools required. I have not used them personally, but made a note to give them a try. My boat still has the original polybutylene plumbing, so I am starting to

Re: Stus-List Replacing Water Lines...

I replaced my fresh water systems in several steps—my main goal was to get rid of PEX and to use standard hoses, standard hose fittings, and good clamps. Our situation is quite different that most of the boaters on this list. We live aboard full time and we cruise south every winter—so, we don

Re: Stus-List Replacing Water Lines...

I just replaced all my water lines and fresh water holding tanks last winter.  I used a $30 crimp tool and the band clamps for most of it.  I used some quick disconnect 90s at a low point in the bilge to drain everything down.  I also used distribution blocks and made every fixture a home run. 

Re: Stus-List Replacing Water Lines...

If installing waterlines, are there not tubes one could use that can tolerate freezing - so we could avoid antifreeze entirely . . . . ? In this era of plastics, surely there's a way . . . Cheers, Rob Ball C&C 34 r...@edsonintl.com From: David Sent: Wednesday, Jan
