pex tubing

Post by skye peak »

I need to find a source for 15mm pex tubing to reroute plumbing in our 35TE.

Does anyone know of a source? Jamestown Dist has the fittings but not the tubing,
the big boxes carry 1/2 inch and up but no 15mm.

You do have a point about the size, but I'm not sure why going to a larger diameter would necessarily be a bad thing, especially if it opens up better pricing and availability.

Late reply but...

Whale makes a 15mm to 1/2" coupling. So you could mix in off the shelf tubing from Home Depot and the like without having to remove all of your existing plumbing.
