The World Of Uponor Pex Pipe
Installing Pex Piping in a Challenging Attic Space
This was a tough re-piping job in a hot, cramped attic, but I'm sharing the full process to show real-world plumbing challenges. Even imperfect situations require creative solutions.
I start by surveying the space to find the best route for the new Pex lines. Beginning in the laundry room, I carefully cut into the wall to access the old pipes and plan my path.
Constant planning and improvising are key in tricky spaces like this. I often have to jump between tasks based on access, parts on hand, and the customer's schedule. Flexibility is essential.
The Products Used:
Wirsbo/Uponor Pex fittings - I prefer these over Zurn because they offer full unrestricted flow that meets the code.
Aquapex Pex tubing in red for hotlines and blue for cold. Color just helps identify lines, but any color can be used for hot or cold.
The takeaway is that even difficult re-piping jobs are manageable with preparation, creativity, and adaptable working methods. Please leave a comment if you have any questions!
