    Copper vs Pex behind brick wall ?
    Need to replace a broken faucet. While turning water off to replace, would also like to
    Move it from under patio area.

    Pretty sure the faucet is now connected to a copper fitting.

    My question is can I use pex behind the brick wall to extend it.
    My thinking is that pex is flexible and I may not have to remove
    As much brick to get it in.

    If I use copper I would have to remove all brick (approx 10')

    Thanks for those helpful links.

    I will be notching the concrete footing to allow a feed to go underground to a shop.

    Is it OK to pass the Pex through concrete if it is insulated ?
