LEAKING HOSE TO PEX FITTING --use this correct adapter

[Kevin2282]

When replacing the sft hose with pex. It is recommended to use the soft hose at the water pump. The pex with as stiff as it is could vibrate making noise you would be able to hear.

This the water pump silencing hoses that I use and I have had good luck with them.

Just so everyone is aware... This is a HUGE issue in the RV industry. Pex fittings CANNOT be used on flexible tubing! The correct plumbing fittings for flexible tubing have barbs on them and normally have a little rubber grommet to seal it. Housing code requires the correct fittings to be used, but this is not enforced in the RV industry. Almost all leaks you will have on your trailer will be because a pex fitting was used on a flexible hose. The only way to fix this is to replace the fittings with the correct ones.
Grand Design, I hope you can look into this and fix the plumbing, especially on those hard to reach places that normal people can't get to. I have an Imagine 2400BH, love the thing, but hated replacing all the fittings that I could get to so I didn't have to worry about leaks!
