Mr Swirl The Friendly Plumber

Because my pressure regulator is in the basement. Moreover, it is a crawling basement, I need to pay two plumbers to change the pressure regulator. Also the basement is in a confined space, plumber refused to do the soldering within the basement. So the plumber use pex tube to do connection job between the half inch copper pipe to the 3/4 outlet of water pressure regulator. I think life will be much easier if the plumber just use existing copper tube and do a little soldering. Anyway he change the water pressure regulator successfully. I will recommended my friend to do plumbing through but you need to make sure your basement is not in a confined space that is defined by the plumber.
