My house which was constructed in 1991 has it and I was planning on using it again but getting the new stuff since I read that it's different and improved. Didn't find any other threads talking about it when I searched.

There has been no problums with Pex, but there is class actions suites againt Quest. For a short time there was trouble with some Zern brand fittings for Pex. There's lot of other companys that now make the brass fittings that work fine. http://www.zurnclassaction.com/?gcli...FYFx4Aoddy2EnQ Last edited by joecaption; 01-13-2012 at 09:18 PM.

Get rid of ALL the pipe & fittings, especially those hidden in the walls. Too many stories to tell about clients coming home only to find leak(s) as the fittings failed.
