What they say

Hide

So I'm helping my friend install a new Delta shower valve tomorrow. Okay, we're going to be using these Pex ring fittings. These typically I think go with ProPress, but guess what? They fit right here. I'll be able to solder them up easy on there. And you know what? I got little Fix-It here today and he is actually going to do a little soldering with me. All right, I'm going to do up these two and then he's going to do the vertical one. I realized that we I don't have a flux brush. I uh I haven't had to really solder in a while.
