I'm planning to replace some old galvenized pipes in my 45 year old home with more modern PEX. I plan to leave the lines leading up to each fixture from the crawlspace in galvanized, so I need to find a way to connect the old galvenized to the new PEX.
I don't have the ability to thread galanized pipe either, btw. If I have to remove any pipe to rethread it, I may as well just replace it with PEX.
Also, should I use anything bigger than 3/4" pex? The line to the street is 3/4 galvanized, according to a plumber and would cost $2000 to replace, so I'm waiting on that to see if replacing all the 3/4" galvenized to PEX will alleviate some of my flow problems. I have a 2 bathroom house, if that helps.
