The Risinger Build: Episode 10 - MEP Plumbing
In this episode of The Risinger Build, we dive into the world of plumbing with a focus on innovative products and expert techniques.
We’re working with PERT pipe from Legend’s HyperPure line, a flexible alternative to traditional PEX. Joining us is Master Plumber Eric Aune from Mechanical Hub, who helps break down the latest advancements in plumbing systems and fittings.
We also highlight smart jobsite preparation and framing strategies that help future-proof the home, along with several key product innovations:
ClearLOC Push-to-Connect System:
A new PTC fitting system made from engineered PPSU resin. Its transparent body allows you to see connections during installation, and it installs up to 50% faster by eliminating depth marking.
LG Dual Inverter Heat Pump Water Heater:
A high-efficiency system combining heat pump technology with dual heating elements for fast recovery. We cover installation, ventilation strategy using cooled dehumidified air, and smart Wi-Fi app control.
Thermo Drain Heat Recovery System:
A passive drain water heat exchanger that captures waste heat to improve incoming water temperature and reduce energy use. We discuss its copper construction and easy installation in both new and existing homes.
We also cover stainless steel hose bibs for improved durability, access panel planning for maintenance, plumbing bend supports for smoother flow, and a preview of cast iron tubs and efficient plumbing layouts.
