If you don't like it, that's fine, you're not required to. If you chose not to follow it, well, you might find answers getting deleted for being "link only". Based on your answer, should those links die, all we have is your (very short) word for it. I'm not doubting you, but providing supporting info makes your answer more credible. | |

| May 14, 2021 at 13:47 | comment | added | The Ghost of Jon | Thanks, but I'm good. This was a yes or no question. I answered that with a yes, then offered some further reading for OP to do some legwork. The links are tangential to the substantive point of the answer. My opinion is you two are critiquing my answer for a problem with this forum permitting yes/no questions... Jimmy fix-it has sets precedent in my opinion - diy.stackexchange.com/questions/223913/… - See his comments and massively higher approval points... | |
| May 14, 2021 at 13:05 | comment | added | FreeMan | It would help if you could include a few salient points from one or more of the linked sources. Posts do tend to disappear (either taken down or sites rearranged), and that makes this answer useless in the future. That's why "link only" is a reason for deleting an answer. | |

| May 14, 2021 at 3:23 | comment | added | The Ghost of Jon | Hi Jim, read: blog.supplyhouse.com/pex-crimp-vs-pex-clamp and blog.supplyhouse.com/direct-burial-of-pex-tubing even the pex itself has a service life, it's all about choices. If OP were asking to compare the various types, I could see going into that, but my answer stands unqualified. | |
| May 14, 2021 at 2:01 | comment | added | Jim Stewart | I have been told that PEX crimp connections cannot be in soil contact because the copper or brass crimp bands corrode and fail. PEX A Upponor can be in soil contact. | |
