Hi Everyone,
I'm what my friends might call a handyman, jack of all trades, which might be a blessing, downfall, or BOTH.
Anyway, I've rigged up the plumbing in my new kitchen. The garden hose faucet is just on the exterior wall behind my kitchen sink, so the previous owners had copper coming from the cold pipe, teeing off to the sink and through the wall to outside.
After we finished the basement, the contractor replaced the copper with pex, so now I've done a bit of work under the sink to be able to get both hot AND cold out to the garden hose.
Can anyone tell me why I might be getting condensation on the cold pipe? I've made sure to turn off the hot water and let it settle to room temp, but I still get condensation on the cold... Pic below to explain setup. Thanks everyone...
