Always use high-quality PEX tubing and crimp connections! They're faster than soldering, easier to work with, and create super secure leak-resistant joints.

I’ve heard that checking water pressure and installing a pressure regulator can help keep things leak-free. Excess pressure often causes issues. Anyone else do this?

Ensure leak-free plumbing installations by using high-quality materials, properly sizing pipes and fittings, thoroughly cleaning and deburring pipe ends before assembly, applying joint compound or thread sealant to threaded connections, and carefully following manufacturer instructions for installation. Pressure testing the system before closing walls or covering pipes can also help identify and address any potential leaks early on! 🚰🔧🛠️
