Hi Everyone,

I just bought my first home, and it had poly pipes from the 90s. The insurance co wouldn't give me a dime in water damage coverage unless I completely replaced. My real estate agent gave me a plumber recommendation, and I went with him and he urged me to get PEX pipes.

Everything I've read and learned about PEX seems to point to it being great due to it's flexibility and ease of installation. I didn't expect to see so many elbow joints and small pieces of pipe... can someone tell me if this looks correct for a PEX install job?

Thanks for the help... I know a little bit, but I'm mostly clueless...

Yep the mains are 3/4", and the branch pipes are 1/2". You don't think they could have just bent the pipe rather than fit it with elbows to make the turns?
