We got a new Eley hose reel and wanted to place it on a wall that didn't have easy access to a hose spigot. Check out how we run an Uponor PEX line from our existing plumbing to the new hose access for much easier use of the hose reel.
Now I feel confident to add a T to our Pex line and install a spigot on the other side of our house. We bought a 100 year old house that only has one spigot on the most inconvenient side of the house. Our addition has all Pex from a modern build😯
That’s the reason I don’t like colored pex. Your situation is different because you’re installing it on your own house and it’s going to a hose Bibb so there’s no mystery as to what the line goes to. However as a plumber it’s frustrating when you think you have a hot line and it’s cold. When you only have white pipe, it forces you to label it during installation and to investigate fully when repairing it. Good decision to go with uponor. It’s defiantly the best pex on the market in my opinion. Another positive is the fittings have the same inside diameter as the pipe because the pipe expands over the fitting. With crimp the fittings are smaller than the pipe because they go inside the pipe. This creates a choke point at each fitting.
