in THE MAIN WALL
the lines out before you hooked it up to the icemaker? Gotta be careful, especially with a GE with the internal filters!

    Some peoples kids....

    Sean, our self supporting lead super technician was called out to look at a job started by others. A snowmelt system that they could not get to purge. Based on the bulge in the tubing, I'd venture a guess that they filled it with water.

    And boy, did they save some money by using half inch tubing or what...

    There OUGHT to be a law....

    Wait, there IS A law. Just no enforcement obviously...

    And to think, if we hadn't shown up, they probably have buried these fittings...

    What's so funny?

    Those are Wirsbo PEX-piercing hydronics-to-ice maker adapter valves.

    Must you mock what you don't understand?

    They were...

    coming out of an end of a slab, waiting for concrete to be finished.

    A snowmelt system if you will....

    And yes, they were trying to purge the loops.

    Keep the faith. Hopefully these yahoos will quit trying to do hyronix..
