Does left over PEX have any value?

[ScaldedDog]

I ended up with three boxes of left over 1/2" and 3/4" PEX from our heating project. I'd guess the longest piece is 80', or so, and most are probably 6-15' in length. Does this stuff have any value, or should I just pitch it?

(This is NOT an ad. If I sell it, I'll put on the Craigslist locally.)

I think you figured it out- it's not worth much, but if you put it up on CL you might get a few bucks for it.


Someone who's running short and just needs a couple of pieces would probably be interested.

its not worth too much, but its worth keeping some around. it can be pretty useful for all sorts of things

I would keep a couple pieces of the longer stuff (some of each size), and get some couplers to whatever type of plumbing you have. Good emergency kit.

Solar hot water heater? on a small scale, or the guys that do air ride on cars use it too.

Know any plumbers? While many of the applications for pex involve long runs that are threaded throughout a structure like romex cable, the plumber I use often employs elbows and T fittings in cramped areas of a PEX installation. In essence he's making little ones out of big ones. There may be any number of plumbers in your area that could make use of the stuff.

Air lines in the shop

I have heard a lot of electricians use pieces 10ft and less instead of a fish tape for wiring walls and such. Just slide the wire right through.

Man, you guys have a lot of good ideas! I'll ping the plumber who lives up the street.

Thanks!

If it doesn't work out, maybe recycle it?

I had 2 rolls of about 90 feet. Put them up on the Sale Board at work and sold them for $30 bucks. Then I took the wife out for dinner!
