Installing a shutoff when you don't have access to the city's shutoff.
It's a PEX pipe. A lot of new housing uses it over copper. I really wonder about the long term integrity of that stuff. My house has a mix of original copper and PEX the previous owner used in some remodeling.
all the stuff about plastic particles in water , makes me not a fan of pex
ima use copper
ima use copper
copper for primary , at least .. maybe pex for a toilet and a shower.
still in planning stages
will be a kinda small house.20 x 35..or so
but i do not want drinking , cooking water going thru pex

Yea I'm thankful I got an older house. The only pex I've seen was on the shower which was remodeled by the previous owner. Under the house, everything looks copper. Although it's hard to tell for sure, going all the way up to the actual sink valves.
perfect !!

It would have to be upstream a bit. Deformation might make crimping and sealing tougher.
