Default What do you think?

Todays inspection. House is plumbed with PEX. They have the individual lines zip tied together but only pick out one line to hang them from the bottom of the joists. Seems like a this would be a bit too much weight for one hanger. They do have the hangers on every other joist. Think I'll recommend some additional straps(soft) around the bundled lines and nailed to the joists for additiional support. Just wondered what you guys, and/or plumbers out there thought. Thanks, Rick

Here they are supposed to hang each serperately (yeah right)or hang the group with straps made for pex (don't see much of that either). Went to an installation seminar about a month ago and the rep pretty much read right out of the book.



In the world view we are all important and our mere existence effects all life.
