Edwin-
Wayne live is a community known to outsiders as "The People's Republic
of Berkeley" as does Dan, if my memory of previous posts is correct.
This being true, though the "Save the Bay" folks recommend the use of
PEX over copper (new or re-piping) to reduce copper loading (due to
erosion & oxidation) to SF bay.........
PEX appears not to be approved by California statewide but is still
ok'd on a city by city or project by project basis. And Berkeley is
a holdout.
cheers
Bob

Your memory is correct. But hey, it's not that bad here, although the
prohibition on PEX for potable water and on AAVs (air admittance
valves) is rather vexing.
Cheers, Wayne

I might be overstating it a little but my structural engineering
friends cringe when they find out that a retrofit project is in the
city of Berkeley. I quote them........ "that place is nearly
impossible to get anything done, those people are unbelievable ".
Although in their defense, Berkeley is not responsible for lack of
statewide PEX approval.

Wayne lives across town from me, around 2 miles (Berkeley, CA).
