We got new problems with leaks in our piping material serving the aft deck faucet for freshwater on deck.

That piping material was replaced a bit more than a decade ago to 16mm PEX piping. Last year it started leaking time after time in different places and we have been replacing leaking segments accordingly.

Now I decided to replace the whole piping , meaning I needed to reach the origin below aft bathroom floor.. Moreover I installed a valve to be able to shut off the whole piping should it leak again.

The reason for the PEX piping to sponatainously crack and leak remains a mystery. The new piping material I brought from Sweden is German made 16mm piping with aluminium core.
