Shark Bites and pex on boiler
Ironman
Member Posts: 7,539
We looked at this job yesterday to bid on replacing this boiler and 535k btu steam boiler and converting to gas. I’ve never seen someone use 1.25” pex and Shark Bites to connect a boiler.
This was done on a multi million dollar house. The guy that did is known for being a real hack, but this is especially egregious.
This boiler will get moved to the greenhouse to replace an ancient one there.

I wish I could "Un-see" that one"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough"
