Jack Barr Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 My 1990 Toyota Seabreeze has the old 3/8" gray water lines which have sprung a leak. Is it true that fittings for that water pipe are no longer available? If so, would that require running new PAX water lines throughout? That' scary.

Odyssey 4x4 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 The work really isn't too bad. You can order the tubing off of amazon (multiple colors if you want to get really fancy and use red/blue hose for hot/cold lines). Also order a cutter which is just like a PVC cutter as well as the crimping tool for the PAX fittings and its basically just cut to size and replace.

tone Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 PEX its so easy to work with and flexible. just need correct fitting and clamped them correctly. sometimes you can even buy snap pieces which are more pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Sharkbite fittings will work on the gray pipe the brass ones are expensive but they do make plastic ones. All of the plumping where it fits to plumbing fixtures are standard household fittings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCRIPAL Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I used a Sharkbite, easy application and works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrel Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Jack, I went to a local plumbing supply store and bought the white plastic fittings you see here. They slide over either your old gray pipe or new semi clear pipe. Also can get the blue or red pipe.The end then screws down tight making a water tight seal- no leaks. As what was said already you should have a plastic pipe cutter to make clean smoth cuts. Plumbing supply also sell this tool. By the way, did that tank sensor I sent you work?
