terrieo Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Can I replace the hard plastic water lines in this with softer food & beverage grade line from Farm & Home? Clamps I have acess to will not clam tight enough on current grey lines & have to replace joints or pipe where meets under shower wall so thought would just replace all to be on safe side. Please any advise? Thx so much, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiter Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I wouldn't - You should be able to replace the PEX tubing with new PEX tubing. If you don't have a crimper, use the plastic push on fittings, they work OK and are reliable. you can find this at Lowes, Menards, Home Depot JOhn Mc 88 Dolphin 4 Auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Pex would be the way to go, the gray stuff is all to it's self you have to go to a specialty plastic shop to find any thing to fit it. Pex requires tools but you can probably rent them they even have Pex now that does not use clamps an other nice thing about Pex it can freeze with out breaking.
