Seems like a great idea.

To save having fittings inside a wall. I am running pex to my kitchen sink that is on an exterior wall. Pex B


But I find they take up so much room. The pipe is just about resting against the exterior wall sheathing.
I used then once before. But let the plastic bend stick out of the wall. So the pipe between the wall studs stayed in the middle of the wall cavity.
But did not look so great sticking out of the wall.

So let it rest against the exterior wall
or use brass fittings
or forget about how it looks.

Appreciate any opinions
Thanks

Are the plastic bends used for stubbing the pex out under the kitchen sink?

I always stub out pex with copper

I like the copper 90 stubouts that george showed.

I have a few bends in my PEX A tubing and I had to put quite a bit of force to bend them within the wall cavity space, but after reading this article that says you shouldn't bend straight PEX and you should straighten coiled PEX, I am a bit nervous.

Note that though this is published by FLOWGUARD who makes CPVC so may be it's biased I don't know.

I agree with George and Sum ....copper stub outs are best.

Thanks all for the good advice
