Default anyone used PEX tubing for boat plumbing?

Thanks, Glen

I was leaning that way, but coming from you it makes me more sure -
enjoy your contributions here and on R.C.M.

You ever going to update the site or are you saving it all for the book
to fund the construction ;-)

Also, there is a guy on eBay selling plans for a RO system (12 bucks or
so) that looks a lot like yours - is that you or is it someone else?

regards,

Tom

I didn't use it but now I wish I had. A little more trouble to route but a
heck of a lot cheaper than double stainless clamps on everything and a heck
of a lot neater installation. PEX, Qest and SeaTech fresh water systems
are becoming standard on many high quality production boats.

I'm almost in posession of a boat I may have to gut - was thinking
about all the new inovations in all the systems and was wondering if I
should consider PEX as an option for plumbing as opposed to hoses and
clamps.
anyone have any data experience with PEX and the marine environment,
vibrations, etc
thanks
