wanted to know if the PEX A Aquapex wirsbo is the same diameter as the pex red and blue sold at the big orange box store? as that guy at the big box store said they are different sizes??? Probably to just look at them and measure them they would be the same or at least very close but the fittings a...

I'll chime in with what I've learned through recent experience with PEX plumbing. 1. All pex is NOT created equal. OR installed equally for that matter. Type A is the really cool stuff, but requires a special tool to connect "the best" way. AN EXPANDER tool, and they are not cheap. BUT it ...

thanks for the replies. It looks like my best bet is to leave the existing metal in place. Yes, it is "warped" or something and gives the impression of "unstable". But the subfloor is fine. Except for the edges that won't hold screws to hold the rounded metal edge cover in place....
