[pure-silver] Re: More on Sink project

HI Dave,
You used the gyp rock that is used in bathrooms. Makes sense in a darkroom. I used 3/8" marine plywood for the walls and 3/4" marine for the sink. This way, I don't have to worry about finding studs if I want to attach something to the wall. 

Still, what is PEX?  We have Rona but no Revy.

Cheers,
Bogdan

that is slightly more water resistant on the sink-wall.
The pipe came from Rona/Revy, who rented the crimper cable as well.

Hi Dave,

I live in Canada and I am unfamiliar with PEX.  Whatever kind of tubing it
is, we probably have except it probably has a different name.  Could you
describe it to me?

In the US, they used to sell BOGEN tripods, in Canada, they were MANFROTTO,
one and the same thing.  So PEX might just be a brand name, which product is
sold here under a different name.
We have something up here called gybrock (sp?); ring a bell? drywall.... :) 

Thanks,
Bogdan

I put all of my darkroom plumbing in-front of the wall on a board that can be removed. It was unlikley a future owner would want a room in the basement will a gazillion taps & water feeds and it is something I wanted the capacity to change. All the semi-permenenat work was done with PEX and all the connection with the brioaded stainless wrapped connections Jim mentioned. This also gave me a couple of taps that control water to the room - when I'm away for a couple of months I just turn the room water off. Then I don't have any worries about minor leaks, or systems (reverse osmosis) running while I'm away.

Well as hopefully the house I am about to buy will close tomorrow, the actual sink construction looms closer. Now a couple of thing I had not thought about come to mind.
I am going to be tying into the line for the washer so an easy way to do it might be to just put a Y fitting on the end of whats there and run other washing machine hose over to where I need the end to be. Or for that matter even regular garden hoses. It will certainly be easier, but wouldn't be as durable. Still if it gets me out of making holes in dry wall, drilling holes for pipe then fixing the dry wall again, I can live with it.
The other thing that came to mind is there likely anything in those hoses, or anything the water might pick up that could cause a problem that wouldn't be there with plumbing pipe. Running pipe is better than ruined prints. I can not see that it would be that big of an issue, but then again I've been wrong many times. TIA Mark
