    5/16 couplings

    Nice work Paul. Finally nice to see someone who cares about the way his soldered joints look.....A lot of buffing or are you really that good at it???

    Nah.....

    He gets Nadine to buff those joints... It keeps her busy and outta his hair!!!!

    But...... MAYBE she...... did that soldering... bet a woman could make a neater joint anyday!!!!!

    We estimated that there was nearly 2 miles of 5/16" hePEXplus in that place but that's a lot of damnage.

    Where did you find the leaky tubing?

    I'm guessing that most of those were damaged inside of the Q.Track from the Misc. small trade debris from above. Nails,sharps ETC.

    Is someone going to get wacked on that job?

    Water test that baby!

    I had a similar thing happen to a Warmboard job. Turns out the hardwood installer was cutting his red rosin paper on top of the floor with a razor knife!

    Real hard to find knife slits with just an air test.
    I ended up replacing several loops to be sure I didn't miss any spots. Not all the cuts went entirely through the tube. That would haunt me forever.
