CENTRAL BOILER. bypassing my h/e had a few questions

central boiler has green poly pex pipe with a thick wall that they used to run in my basement. i need to make up a by pass line with pex and i cant find that heavy wall green pipe just regular pex . will that regular pex be fine? also giving those shark-bite fittings a try..
what i planing on doing is just kill the power to the water circulating pump in the morning before i go to work and by the time i get home it should be cool enough to cut the pipe and work with it.
any other suggestions or pointers are welcome.
thanks ant.

but why don't you just buy the green pex and fittings from your CB Dealer ?
Have to say that the pluming in the pictures is a little messy.

i only needed 5' of pex. my dealer is about 150 miles away round trip. that white pex is the same as the green pex the dealer installed.
if i went with the pex fittings i would have to get the crimper. the shark-bites you see in the picture is something new. they work well and easy to install.

little messy did my best to retro fit in a existing system.

post pictures of your install :question: :smirk:
