For Mechical room, prefer Copper  [has tighter bend radius, cause I don't want an entire room of pipes; also helps to mount with ridgid pipe]
For distribution, prefer pex with Uponor (formerly Wirsbo) expansion rings   :thumbup:

Ok here is a question for everyone who may have tried this, could you use the uponor rings on Rehau pex since they are both pex a?
