Does anyone know if the new Mattamy homes have copper or pex plastic water pipes in Milton phase 7?
Also did anyone try to order a High Efficiency furnace? I would be glad to hear, I am getting whatever is the basic one because I forgot to ask.


I was told it would be copper in phase 3

All Mattamy Homes will be equipped with Pex plastic hot and cold piping. Does not matter the phase or location. it is standard. Hope this helps.

We are living 5 years old Mattamy home, we have pex plastic pipe all over, it really worked in the last winter when we had extreme cold temperature below 40 C, nothing happened.

In the short term it'll be fine. But 10-15yrs down the road, I would be worried about the plastic degrading and then having pinhole leaks. I've seen it happen before.

It doesn't... it's also nearly impossible to have leaks in the joints as crimp rings are 99.9% fool-proof. If there is a problem, it's fixable in 5 minutes with a $60 tool, some $.50 crimp rings and a new section of pipe... it's actually pretty fun.

Well we couldn't get the pex to convert to copper in our basement when we were making it. Keep popping off. And the guy making the connection was an HVAC person so he knew how to do it. Ended up going copper and all good!

Anyone that can make legos work can make pex work... seriously.

I was trying to crimp it and it wasn't taking either. Plastic sux. I want solid metal where I know the connection is sealed tight.

He did it with copper and no issues.

Why would I pay a plumber to come out and move one 2 ft line when it have someone there who can weld me a copper line...

That doesn't sound right... what's for it not to take? How was he trying to fit them together? or what was he using to crimp it with?

He had the right tool - using shark something or others.... It was the conversion from copper to pex that was creating the issue.
