    Air chamber(s) needed?
    Putting in a new bathroom as part of an addition. There is a toilet, shower and double sink vanity. It is all PEX. Everything comes out of a mannifold in one of the bathroom walls. Do I need to install air chambers anywhere? I was going to put one at the toilet but having trouble determining if they are still needed/recommended. If anyone needs more information I can supply it.

    Thanks

    Hi Lee...

    Almost finished, huh? Good for you!

    I NEVER install air chambers, air hammer arrestors, etc. on a new job.

    If you have hung everything properly then you should be all set with your work!

    Good luck!
