Yes, what I like about PEX compared to copper piping is that I can before actually installing everything and finding I am missing a part or something is not connected properly I can do a dry-run on a complete assembly right there on the floor. Even using some PEX and then cutting it all off before I install it for real I am not wasting that much material. Even a few clamps that I use etc are no big deal to use and then remove from the test assembly.
Yes, we both know sometime at the big box stores trying to find someone in the department that knows what they are doing is no easy task. I could end up asking an associate in the plumbing department questions and then find out half way thru he/she really does not know as they are just covering the associate on lunch from that department and they are normally in the paint department. That happens a lot there and the worst part is they will normally not tell you that when you ask them questions. You kind of have to figure it out for yourself. Even in the electrical department if I can't find something and ask an associate where it is that is working the department and they have no clue what I am talking about gets very frustrating. Then I have to go searching the shelves for what I want/need.
I think if I can't find someone in plumbing that seems to know what they are talking about I will go to customer service and ask for a plumbing associate, maybe that will be better.
