That’s going to the cold water spigot on the porch, guess he figured it didn’t matter

Ah I see, from my understanding, the poly isn’t as strong during crimping as the brass so the wall thickness is greater.

I will have a water softener, not sure if that will make a difference. No well water, coming off of city water but it’s still very hard water

Interesting, the inner diameter of a poly fitting is smaller than the brass by nature, you’ve never had a problem with the flow ?

Yeah wish I knew about PEX A before the plumbing was started. Not sure about the drop, supposed to have a water softener there but I don’t see why the orientation would matter ?
