Pluming for 1985 Vacatoioneer camper
Asked by Jon June 27, 2020Modern RVs use PEX pipe or PEX tubing. It is cheaper and easier to install than metal tubing. PEX tubing comes in all colors, but red tubes are normally used for hot water, and blue ones for cold water. I found this by just googling "what kind of plumbing pipes are used in campers" I'm also guessing that the size is 3/8" and not half inch. Perhaps even a quarter of an inch. I just replaced my electric tankless hot water heater in my singlewide. It only took 90 minutes. I have half inch copper for the cold water inlet and the hot water outlet because copper is required there. I already had 3/8 inch copper tubing but I did use half inch cold water (blue pex) for some of the cold water incoming. I used Shark Bite fittings for the whole job. That's why the replacement went so fast. My dad had a motor home and he thought the pump quit working. I just tapped on it and it worked OK. It reminded me of a ball point pen that you click to get the pen to come out and then click again to make the pen retract. There is not much water pressure so the fittings are flimsy. Those little round metal things with a screw that you turn to tighten the fitting was all that was needed.
Does the tube support liner need to be remove to us on cpvc
Asked by Spike February 23, 2020If it fits into the pipe then no, it can remain, but the support liner is usually only needed on flexible tubing that is too soft to support the elastic seal around the outside. CPVC shouldn't need that support but if it fits it can be used.
Can they be buried ?
Asked by Naz November 16, 2019Yes, they are approved for underground use, usually with irrigation systems.
How do you connect a shark bite
Asked by Nick September 8, 2019You just push the pipe or tubing into it. I've used it with PEX tubing, copper pipe and CPVC pipe. There is also a tool to release it and it comes apart relatively easily. Works great. Had some installed over 10 years without problem.
Can this be used on heating baseboard pipes? Will they be able to stand the constant heat during ...
Asked by Rastaman August 15, 2019Easy to install
