    Running PEX for the First Time - A Few Questions

    I am running a PEX water line tomorrow for the first time, and I have some questions. I have never used it before. I'm going to be running 1/2" and will have to go through multiple studs and a corner. I was planning to run the PEX approximately 10” down the stud (ie. 10" under the top plate)...

    I messed up the title for my thread, and I don't see a way to edit it. Sorry about that.

    I am looking to run 1/2” PEX for my refrigerator. To get this done, I will need to g 2 corner

    I am looking to run PEX for my refrigerator, as it seems like that would be the easiest. I’m thinking 1/2” but will use 3/8” or 1/4” if possible. The distance is 30-35 ft. To get this done, I will need to navigate 2 corner studs and run across a doorway. I know that they sell bend supports, but...

    Remodeling Kitchen - Moving Sink ~15" to the Right

    We recently purchased a condo and are in the initial stages of remodeling the kitchen (new cabinets, countertops, flooring, etc). Right now, the sink is in the corner, and we were thinking about possibly moving it to the right. I know that there is some type of maximum trap arm length as well as...

    Whole House Humidifier - How to Run Drain

    Unfortunately, there is no floor drain at all. The pipe exits through the side of the wall (exterior).

    Whole House Humidifier - How to Run Drain

    No, the pvc in the front is the AC condensate line that runs to the condensate pump. From there, the pump drains into the drain line in the back (it's hard to see in the picture, but you'll see it on the right side of the return). The outlet line on the condensate pump is the plastic tubing that...

    Whole House Humidifier - How to Run Drain

    Sorry for not being more specific in my original post. Yes, I was referring to the drain line in the corner. You’ll see the plastic tubing coming out of the condensate pump, which then runs into the pvc drain pipe. I wanted to route the humidifier directly into this drain, so that it...

    Whole House Humidifier - How to Run Drain

    I just installed a whole house humidifier on my HVAC system. The issue that I have is that I don't know how to run the drain. I have to use 1/2" ID plastic tubing, but my existing drain line already has a tube going into it from the condensate pump. There isn't enough room for the tubing from...

    Tapping Hot Water Line for Humidifier - Will Hot Water Heater Drain?

    Thanks. That 3/4" x 1/4" Sharkbite tee looks like it would work perfectly. My question is will be able to install it without issue? I know that I will need to pull the pipes apart a bit to fit this tee. Do they normally have a bit of flex to them, so that you can separate the cut pipes without...

    Tapping Hot Water Line for Humidifier - Will Hot Water Heater Drain?

    That's exactly what I'll do. Thank you! Stupid question, but I was thinking that it was 1/2" copper. Is that 3/4" coming out of the water heater? It looks like Sharkbite doesn't make a 3/4" service slip tee, but they have this one...

    Tapping Hot Water Line for Humidifier - Will Hot Water Heater Drain?

    Thanks for your help. It's a 2nd floor condo, so I assume that the pipes are going into the floor/joist space. When I cut the pipe, will there be a lot of hot water emptying? I have a 5 gallon bucket, so I wasn't sure if that would be sufficient. Out of curiosity, if you were doing the job...

    Tapping Hot Water Line for Humidifier - Will Hot Water Heater Drain?

    I am getting ready to install a whole house humidifier. I was planning to tap the hot water line close to where it exits the hot water heater. I was going to use a Sharkbite Service Slip Tee. If I turn off the main supply, and drain the faucets, will I be able to do this safely? Should I also...
