Summary[edit]

Description
English: Here 1/2" PEX pipes (blue=cold red=hot) have been connected to the valve system for a shower/tub valve. In addition, the downspout has already been added. PEX is approved for plumbing in all 50 US states and means there is no need to blowtorch (or "sweat") pipes in a wall -- which is a somewhat risky activity which has caused many fires in the past. With PEX, it is simply a matter of pushing the pipes together. Background: This is image 17 of a repair project to fix a shower/tub diverter valve made by Barber Wilsons & Co Ltd. The handle which was supposed to divert water to the shower but it did not work; a plastic piece inside was broken. Unfortunately, since this valve could not be fixed from the front, it required a major operation to open up the back and replace pipes. I ended up replacing the defective valve with a Price Pfister valve-set so in future repairs will be easy.
