I have a McCool 12k. Uses a heat pump to heat up my 2 car garage and it works great. The cooling works great too.

Thanks! So if it's 1" I'd need 1.25" I have a foot of 1.25" copper pipe.... I'll try that

Yes! If they weren't I'd have to go up to 1 1/4" and that would require the bigger m18 pex tool and I'd have to buy a roll of 1 1/4" pex-a for just a couple feet from it..... so like another 16-1700 for both of those

I should be good with what I have. Since I can't find support brackets I'll use 90's and I'll return the roll and buy a couple straights to avoid straightening the roll. Luckily It's only like 12 cents per foot more. I might grow a pair and tackle this today. If this fails, I have the...

Since I can't find them I don't have another option. Oh well. These are the ones. I only need 1 for the main water line repair but 2 for the water heater supply and 2 more if I do the hot side as well.

So would you guys recommend the support brackets instead of the copper 1" 90* fittings? Nevermind, homedepot doesn't carry 1" support brackets. I'll keep searching. Even Amazon doesn't carry metal 1" brackets.... poo

You just talking about the supports that go on the outside to shape the tubing right? Sounds like I'm going to return the roll and buy a couple straights and 90* copper fittings. Man, I hate returning stuff. Just being in that line.... ugh whatever hahaha

Ah, where was this answer last week hahaha. I really wanted to keep it but I couldn't justify the cost to myself since I only need it for 2 repairs fpr now at least. For everything I needed I spent about 2800.... yeah a bit much. I got it back except for return shipping to supplyhouse for the...

So to shape this pex-a line, hot water is the only way? I thought of 10' straight sections but I wanted to see if I can bend this to eliminate using the 90* elbows. Since I don't like the sharp bends the copper fittings have on 1" Would the black plastic fittings work just as good for my...

Yeah I remember seeing that for the water heater. My water heater has a 18" copper flex line on the cold and hot side before tye lines go into the wall. I need to replace the shut off valve on the supply line too. It doesn't close the water all the way. When I replaced my water heater a year...

This is the main supply line that comes into my house. It comes it at 1.25" and goes into a tee and splits into two 1" lines. I'm going to reduce it from 1.25" to 1" and the tee will be immediately after. It's shaped like a capital "F" I'll have to put a 90* rights after the tee if I can't...

Hey guys, So I returned my Milwaukee propress and decided to use pex-a instead. I saw too many complaints on leaks when used on thinner copper type-m and I didn't want to find out what my house has by tearing apart my ceiling looking for pipes to read. I purchased the m12 Milwaukee pex-a tool...

Wow! I bet you'll never forget that! I still have some of the white fluffy insulation set aside to set on fire! Fire is cool he he I miss watching Beavis and butthead when I was a young lad hahaha Now my wife gets mad at me whenever I try to put it on saying she doesn't want our kids...

I have some many things going on right now.... this plumbing isn't helping. I want to use that new tool all over my house but I don't have time for that and that's kinda a good thing hahaha. I just received the viega fittings from supplyhouse and I'm ready to do this! Problem is, I don't feel...

Oh yeah, basements. Only the much older homes where I live have basements where i live. The houses that were built properly..... I sometimes wish I had a basement. Oh well
