  Hey Cindy,

  Are you trying to stroke my ego? Don't take me serious, this is my sense
of humor speaking!

  OK, back to plumbing. I used straight lengths of Quest 1/2" pipe, then
purchased separate brass elbows, splice, threaded 1/2" male/female pipe ends
that are crimped to the pipe with a copper compression ring slightly larger
then the pipe. Before the fixtures I stopped the rigid pipe about 8" short
and used stainless steel clad flexible hose that is available at most
hardware stores and used commonly on house hole faucets or dishwashers.
These are unique because you can hand tighten them to the faucet before
lowering into place and makes mounting and repairing a faucet easier as you
do not have to reach into awkward locations to tighten rigid plumbing. They
are also useful on the inlet and outlet of filters and water pumps and very
useful in reducing noise transmission from the water pump.

  Thanks for the inquiry and let me know if I can help out with anything
else, I will be working in the yard at Baja Naval for the next couple of
months here in Ensenada and most likely not a daily visitor to the Internet;
however, I will attempt to keep current.

  Have a great Fall everyone, may the seas and wind be in your favor and
treat you well,

  Adios for now,

  Dave

    To Dave Lewis,

    In your beautiful replumbing project on Bella, how did you deal with
    connecting the PEX tubing to the standard hose bibs that all of the
    "marine" fixtures (tanks, faucets, foot pumps, filters, etc) have? Is
    there a special connector for that, or did you have to use short lengths
    of vinyl hose?

    Thanks
