Here are my questions;
1. Does AS use a rare size copper pipe or did this just expand? It almost matches up to 1/2 " flex tube but not workable.
2. Should I anticipate more punctures lines? If so, should I just try a temporary fix on this first one to see what else I am up against? I might have to replace the entire plumbing (sucks).
3. If I have to replace the plumbing, what does that entail or how much (est) would it cost to have done?
I am also getting ready to repair a leaking grey valve as well. Looking forward and thankful for your responses. Bob |
Find a ACE or plumbing suply. Most of those chain places couldn't find a clue with a big neon sign over it saying clue.
For the record most of us that are doing restoration are replacing all the lines with PEX. It's a flexible plastic product that is more resilieant in hard freezes. There are several good posts on the product in pumbing section.
I have as yet to use the product but will be in then next couple months once I reinstall the interrior of our coach. THe copper I took out it was rare to find more then a 4ft section without a repair LOL.
