So I got baptized by a hot water pipe leak 1day into my new house, turns out it's full of dura pex that has known leaking problems by the water heater and used primarily in a few counties here in NC, joy. It was a pin hole leak in the top of the pipe which is how they fail, it's in a "shop" and not rubbing on anything or exposed to extreme temps or UV light. I cut and spliced it and fixed the leak, but I'm going to rip out all that terra cotta colored shit that I can access, about 40ft of it of various sizes. I'm a total newb to this pex crap as we couldnt even use it up north, copper only. I bought the expensive ass crimping tools, but looking for some IBB advice on the do's and dont's with this stuff, what kind of connectors (plastic or brass) stuff like that.
