Water plumbed to the laundry room. Opted for 3/4 pex, with the pinch clamp style.
100 foot roll was $48.50, the crimper $57.00, don’t remember the cost of the bag of clamps or the 2 pex elbows. The roll is a bit of a challenge to work with when working alone, under a pier & beam house. Just couldn’t get to lay out flat, thus it took a few more feet to do the run.
I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

PEX is great stuff !!.... YEA, rolling it out STRAIGHT is a bit of a challenge... working in the house on short runs and thru walls is very forgiving... I ran a 3/4 inch header, then 1/2 inch for anything under 30 ft.
Like them all, but love the "B"s.

Now the next project to save up for is plumbing & installation of a water softener. Plan on using the existing 3/4 pvc that supplies the cold water to the laundry room, that is where I will put the WS, then run new 3/4 line from the WS to the utility room about 50 ft away. There I will plumb the soft water to the water heater, sinks and showers. Will separate off the outdoor faucets and toilets to supply with unsoftened water. Also a hard water line to the RO at the kitchen sink for drinking and cooking water.

Lars- In the morning take the end of your pex roll (usually from the middle, and unwind a hundred feet or so out into the yard.  Park your riding mower on the end, and leave the rest at the far end, out in the sunshine. Pull it tight so it gets 'flatter'.  About lunchtime, pull it tight again.  By midafternoon, it'll be easy to feed through straight- cut off about-how-much you'll need, and pull it through. Wink
Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest.
